I can remember a conversation a year
ago with my World Race Dude mate about our “in like” feelings
towards two girls who were on the Race with us. Kyle was “in like”
with a girl from another team, and I fell “in like” with a girl
who I saw every day in my own team. “So when do you think it will
happen?” I remember him asking. Not wanting to fully expose the
fact that it was a topic constantly on my mind I replied “I’m not
sure, we will see where God has us… it’s crazy to think though that
at this time next year we might both be married.”
“I’m thinkin September” he said,
“no point in messing around.”
“no point in messing around.”
Though I felt I identified with him
about not messing around I was thinking I’d wait at least until
Spring at the earliest to tie the knot.

I want to clarify, this was not a
conversation Kyle and I had all that often, but we were certainly
both sure of the things that God has laid on our hearts. I can’t
help but smile when I think of that conversation… because it
happened… just like we said it would. Just like we prayed everyday
for God to give us courage and strength to make it happen. It has now
been a year and I just finished up my first month of marriage, Kyle
is working on his sixth.

So here I am in an apartment in
Pasadena getting ready for my last day of intensives at my school,
while my wife just left to drive to Watts to teach a kindergarten
class (not an easy day for her). I prayed with her and ate breakfast
with her before she left. I feel like I am living a dream right now.
I’m married to a girl who I feel I can’t be more in love with though
I know our relationship will only become stronger and deeper from
here. I came out here to be involved with a Church while going to
seminary, but before we got married we both realized that there was
to much going on in our lives and that we wanted to simply focus on
our life together, laying foundations that stand firm in the storms
of life. Life has sped up and slowed down both at the same time, but
at the end of the day I can’t get over the feeling of coming home to
my wife. It is incredible. I can’t believe that God brought us here,
and I still can’t wait to see more of the things he has in store.

I’m pretty sure we had an awesome wedding… the reason I express some doubt is because the whole day seemed to go so fast. If you are interested you can look at our photos ( http://picasaweb.google.com/danieljgutman)
