We get married today! I'm pretty sure most everything is taken care of, and now it will just be the rush from hair place, to make up place, to ceremony location!
In 4 hours 15 minutes i will no longer be a Kendel.... though Kendel will be my middle name.
Time to run, have to pack everything in the car!

The search is on...
The new job is going great! It's extremely busy, but it fits/i fit perfectly. Praise to God for that! He knew exactly where I needed to be.
I have been focused so much on organizing everything at the new job, I have not had time to really get things done for the wedding. I think they are getting done and proceeding at a good pace though. According to TheKnot.com we have only 34 days til the wedding... til this is all finally over. If you know me, you know handling the planning of this wedding has been one of my least favorite things in life. So both Jayson and I will be singing songs of praise come October 11th.
We are in the middle of searching for two very important things right now: a home to rent and a new church home. Both are vital to our married life together.
We have come to a few pit falls in the housing search; so please pray that God will open up doors and place us in the house/community we need to be in.
In the search for a new church home, we have found many churches with great sermons and great pastors! The problem is finding a community with whom we can meet. So far the places we have found have hours and schedules that don't work with ours. Seeing that Jayson has the worst schedule in the world, and my schedule is 11 am- 7:30 pm every weekday, it's hard to find a church that has a small group/Bible study we can attend. There are still a few more places to look into; so please pray that God will lead us to our new church family, and that even the searching process will be a growing process. Also, pray (for one of the sillier obstacles) that we will feel accepted; since as ... Democrats (yes, i said it)... we often feel pushed aside and put down by our fellow believers.
Thanks to all for providing us with great support during this BIG transition in our lives!

So much, so much
Everything has happened in just the last month and a half!
I got a job (woohoo!) working for AmeriCorps/Big Thought/Thriving Minds. I will be an Assistant Site Manager at WW Bushman Elementary (in Dallas) for their after school program. It's actually a really amazing organization, and it's less than two years old. We're really building arts curriculum into these (mostly underpriveleged) students life.
I am waiting until after the wedding (and everything settles down) to see if I want to continue to work 1 day a week at Barnes & Noble.
Almost everything is ready for the wedding. Just have to get rings, tux's and a place to live.
We've changed the wedding time to 2:00 pm ceremony and 3:30 reception. Salim Nourallah is opening up the reception for us, and then The Cut Off will play! We are hoping to get one more band to finish out the celebration for us. It should be fun!
Other than all of that I just have to learn to relax some. Apparently, all of the stress and the coffee has made me sick. I had to go to the doctor today, and I found out I had lots more acid in my tummy than there need's to be. I have medicine to make me feel better, but I pretty much need to take more time for resting.
P.S.
Invitations go out this week!!

Apple has me under their finger once again...
To make my life easier in sharing photos and information with the world, I have been roped back into a mobile me account with apple. Thank goodness for 60 day trial periods! It will give me time to earn the money to pay for a year subscription.
the email address I will be using for all things wedding is:
sarah.e.k.hamilton@me.com
In the future, i will most likely keep the account, but I will just use it for business/professional/bill paying type things. If you want to email me you can still use my gmail account.
Updates:
I'm still working at Barnes & Noble, and looking for a new job. Jayson is still working a lot at the hospital, and we are still searching for a house to move into in October.
We did have the pleasure of hanging out with some of Jayson's best friends on Sunday and Monday. Jayson's best friend, Nick, was in town with the band he works with. We went to the House of Blues in a big group, but for Jayson the joy was definitely in getting to hang out with good friends (I really liked it too).
Here's to a happy week for everyone, and I hope everyone makes it to the theater to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!

Back in Action
I might be completely exhausted... I haven't decided yet. For the month of June, I had no where to live; so I traveled to: New York, Dallas, and Little Rock/Cabot! I have been back a week and a half; but I have had so much to do, I feel like it's been a month!The wedding is falling together nicely. It is now down to all the details that I don't care about. So now it's just making sure everything gets done. The guest list as always is a pain in the butt; but hopefully, it will be done soon, since the invites are to be mailed at the end of the month.
I am ready to have the wedding over and be on my honeymoon with my husband. Then, be at home with my husband. We went searching for houses today, and found one we really like. I am calling the rental place tomorrow to ask details. Please be praying that the house stuff falls together nicely because we don't need another headache.
Barnes & Noble has been great because I've been getting more hours, but that still puts me just barely above the poverty line. What I really need right now is a new job! I apply to an average of one a week, and over the past 4 months have heard back from only one person (to tell me there are no positions).
I am learning to tighten my belt more; but especially with the wedding, any financial help is needed/a blessing.
One big blessing in my life is the new house I moved into. The girls are wonderful, and it's a peaceful house. I have room for groceries! I haven't had cable, and it hasn't been that bad (cnn.com live has saved me).
Jayson is still working a whole lot of hours every week. We still party though. Nick Fishbaugh is coming in town next week (Jayson's best friend and first love); so we are both really excited to see him.
All in all... it's just good to be home.
