...my name IS Lana Joy Wilson.
Social security says so. It must be so.
My friend Cara took some great photos at the wedding, both beforehand "prep" shots and reception. She's submitting one of my putting on my make-up in Ev & Em's bathroom to a women's art show on campus this week. The theme for all entered pieces is "Transformation" and she's entitled it: "Not Only Skin Deep".
In talking with her about entitling the picture last night, I realized how deep that transformation was, or is, and what it means for me now. In addition to all of that, my name has changed, signifying yet another great transition.
I'm new.
I'm remade.
I'm different and yet the same.
I'm whole, as I've always been, but better now with him.
I'm loving this life, the small things that bring me joy, and the bigger things that tell me I am loved in an astounding and everlasting way.

Can't wait to see Cara's pictures! Maybe soon?
Well, she hasn't gotten them to me yet, but when I asked her last night, she promised soon. What that means to a college student, I'm not entirely sure. I want them before Thanksgiving, though, and may take to pestering her until she gives. We'll see.
To this college student, it means by next Tuesday ;)
