After much talking to my mom, my sister and my sister's priest this afternoon/evening, Jeremy and I feel better about the whole marriage situation. We really do want to get married in the church and felt badly that we weren't, but we wanted to get married as soon as possible because.. well, for one thing we want to be married before the baby is born and for another.. we want to be married. We've been together for nearly three and a half years and it's time. Anyway, we are going to schedule a meeting with our priest this week and go from there. We are hoping that Father Joe will adjust the time frame in which we need to be counselled before getting married. Keep your fingers crossed for us, please.
