Whew, I just got back from the beach and seeing my brother in MD. I think since Andy came out here a couple weeks ago, I have literally seen all of my family…. It’s wonderful!! I love my family! It has also been very tiring. Flying from here to Or. and back, then Kansas and back, and driving to the beach, then MD and back, Suprisingly I do not feel tired right now. I would not have traded this last month of summer for anything. My family is so precious to me. It’s amazing how important people you love are. - That will be the most difficult thing about moving after Andy and I get married. I’m such a family person, but of course I’d rather be such a godly person, and I know this is God’s will and plan for me, so I know I can do it through His strength. I know I don’t have the strength, so I’m so glad I can just depend on my God to supply all my needs, and strengths. Life is so awesome, and it has definately turned out differently then I suspected it would. I’m so glad, God’s ways are definately so much better than our ways. It just cracks me up how silly I (and all people) can be. I mean it’s pretty obvious we don’t know what we are doing, and God knows everything we are and should be doing, so what’s the fear in trusting. Well I better go make sure everything is packed for school, I’m off to another fun and exciting adventure!! I’ll try to blog during school months, but this may have to wait till October! We’ll see!

Well it’s true! I’m engaged! I can barely believe it…..Wow 11 months to plan MY wedding….crazy, life goes so quickly sometimes…. I remember thinking this will never happen to me, it’s always going to be someone else…..But, it happened! He’s “the one” i’ve been looking for, and i love him so much!! After 2 1/2 years of dating we are now engaged to be married! I already have my dress and tomorrow there are plans to book the reception….I should be able to relax and go back to school…yeah right, I can’t even think straight right now…Life is coming and it’s coming at me fast! First a wedding, then a honeymoon, and then the rest of my life!!! woah! lots and lots of things to do, but thankfully i have plenty of time to get ready. God always knows what He is doing…. and yet I still need to learn that lesson over and over again……..trust…..just trust…. He’s such a good God. How could i ever thank Him enough for His love…….What an amazing love He gave to us, and then allows us to share love with another human being. Love is such a God-given gift - so wondrous………….We could only know and understand such love because of Him. He did it all for us.. It is so easy to get wrapped up in things of life……. Especially wedding planning, but i must make time for what is MOST important. GOD is most important. I must never forget that no matter how “busy” - so to speak…or write - that i get. * “…He must increase, but i must decrease…”
