the beginning.



Well today starts the beginning of a new school year. This is going to be the most exciting and yet most challenging year.

This school year I am: getting married at the end of my fall semester, moving out of the home I have grown up in for 19 years, gaining another whole wonderful family in Virginia, having my first thanksgiving and christmas being married, taking 5 classes in the spring semester while trying to be a good homemaking wife:) , graduating with my associates degree in office administration, and starting my career, Lord willing, after I graduate.

God has laid out this beautiful life ahead of me and I am going to embrace it with a smile through the good and the bad. Tons of people say..."Oh, you are getting married, oh boy, you are in for something there" and Yes, I know married life is not a piece of cake, and I know things will not go exactly how I imagined, but I do know that Ryan and I have God as our head and we have Him as our leader. When God is for you, who can be against you? I am ready for this new lifelong adventure.

Dear my Father in Heaven, thank you for blessing me with so many wonderful people who support me. I would not be the person I am today without You. Please help me to be the person you want me to be through this new journey that is ahead of me. Help me to have a good attitude and be thankful no matter what the circumstance. Help me to be a light to other people and show them Your love. Thank you for a wonderful fiance, family, and friends. I love you so much. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

End of Summer

So, it's been forever since I have blogged...

Summer went by too fast. College starts back up in 1 week...

My mom & sister threw me an amazing bridal shower. I feel so loved & blessed.

I was able to finish all of my 50 thank you letters and started working on the wedding invitations.

In this last week of my summer I have a whole check list of things to do.

  • Monday - Clean for my mom & pick up the rest of my school books
  • Tuesday - Clean for my Aunt
  • Wednesday - Finish wedding list, addresses, labels, & invitations (this may flow into Thursday)
  • Thursday - Finish invitations, balance checkbook, organize everything for school
  • Friday - Babysit & clean Ryan's house
  • Saturday - Rest......
  • Sunday - Rest....
  • Monday - Online classes begin
  • Tuesday - On site classes begin equalling fall semester.
On a happy note, Winning at Winchester is in 3 weeks. I am so excited to see all of my brothers and sisters in Christ and fellowship with them. I can't wait to hear all of the awesome preaching. By that time the wedding will be 2 months away.

God is amazing.



Mother in Law to be :)
