| Wow...it's been awhile since I've written a public post. I've been writing on here alot...just not so everyone can read it! God has been really good! I got to go visit Word of Life this past weekend and it was awesome! I went to visit my brother and my fiance and I'm so excited about Jon and how he's doing up there. I'm really praying for him this year especially and it's really cool to see the work that God is doing already. I got to hear Tom Philips preach and it was awesome as usual. He preached on Proverbs 24 and the kinds of people we should and should not hang out with. Instead of focusing on that I flipped it around on myself. I asked myself, "Am I the kind of person (according to Proverbs) that other people should hang out with?" It was really convicting.
I also had this really weird revelation the other day. Dan and I were really disappointed that we couldn't get married in March and then I realized the other day that might be because of me. I know in my heart if I am honest with myself that I am not ready to be Dan's wife according to God's standards. I have so much work to do to become the godly wife that he needs and that God wants me to be! So...I am on a quest to learn all I can about my role and how best to fulfill it. I have started actually reading the books on marraige and being a godly wife that I have gotten from work and I have once again started doing my quiet time. If you think about it...please pray for me. I have a really hard time staying faithful when I'm at home and surrounded by the world.
In other news...the wedding planning is becoming exciting! We are starting to talk about where we wanna take our honeymoon and we might have actually made a decision! I can't believe how many details there are and for the first time in my life I am not procrastinating! Things are moving along even though it seems like our wedding day is never going to get here! I am trying to be patient though! |

| Well...for anyone who doesn't know yet! As of Thursday August 25, i'm officially engaged to the most wonderful man in the entire world! It was absolutely perfect. Though I won't go into all the details it included dinner at my favorite restaurant and a beautiful proposal at the Gettysburg battlefield...which happens to be my favorite place. I wish I could post a picture of my ring and I have to laugh because as much as I picked on Katie Eaton when she got engaged I find myself doing the same thing she did with her ring. It you turn the ring just right you can catch the light and make it sparkle Right now we are planning on getting married in July unless certain things happen and then it will be March! So if you'd like to pray...please pray that God's timing takes precendence and not ours. I'd love to talk more...but me and my fiance are going out to Walmart!! |

| Life goes on as usual. We're getting ready for inventory at work and I get to see Dan in two weeks!! I never realized what a boring life I led until I got a xanga and people keep telling me to update...even though I have nothing to say! If I were funny...I might try telling stories or something...but I'm not so my poor readers are just gonna hafta suffer through reading about my boring life. Now that I rambled on about nothing...I gotta go  |

| Wow! So...it's been quite awhile! I just got back from my road trip. I got to see Diana, Kelly, and my Jill all in the same week! It was quite an adventure. I so enjoy getting lost...being late...missing a wedding...and all the other fun things that I got to experience while I was gone. I totally plan on updating...just at a time when I'm not dead tired! Plus I really don't wanna be sitting anymore right now  |
