Christian Weddings

Recaps!

I'd say weekly but obviously I've recently dropped the ball on that one.

Normally we do five things that summarize the week (can be events, thoughts, photos, whatever creative stuff you want). Because it's been so long, do as many as you want! lol

"I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." -Isaiah 61:10 NKJV

    1- FI's Job Drama- Okay, so after he was supposed to having training but didn't and we weren't sure if he had the job? Well he got a call yesterday that they've rescheduled training for the 24th.  Today he also had an interview for a different job. He'd rather get a different job because he feels so disrecpected by the first employers, but he's not burning bridges and will take the job if he doesn't find a new one by next week. We need an income SO BAD! We're praying God's will be done, and this gets squared away soon.

    2- FI got his degree! His BA. There's a lot of graduations this spring for me. My sister gets her BS and my Future BIL (sister's fiance) is getting his MA.

    3- My blog hit 25,000 pageviews this week! This time last year it only about 3,000 hits (since May 2009 when blogger began recording stats) so that's pretty awesome!

    4- The Most Awesome Good Friday Ever- this wasn't this week, but it was since the last time I updated. I blogged about it you want to read.

    5- Miscenllaneous-- I wnet to a wedding this weekend, my best friend's twins are GIRLS!! (what she wanted) and I'm really, really praying to get this job I applied for...

  • 1. FI and I might get married and become homeless. Just kidding.........sort of. Last weekend we thought we had housing all figured out for both this summer and fall, now we're not sure about either. Things are really uncertain right now. I don't know where we will live after we get married, but this is what I do know- God is the one who is leading us and He WILL provide for our needs.

    2. My sister came home!!!! Both my brother and sister have been in Colorado (at the place where FI and I are planning to go this summer) and my family went down to visit this weekend. It was the first time we've been all together since Christmas, so it was wonderful to spend some time together. We also brought my sister home with us. I'm so happy to have her back!!!

    3. I didn't get sucked up by any tornados. Kansas had some pretty nasty weather (to state it mildly) this weekend, but thankfully we were not affected.

    4. I got to hear the His Little Feet children's choir and participate in a 5k walk/run to raise money for them. His Little Feet (check out the link)  is a ministry that brings groups of orphans from around the world to the U.S. and then takes them on singing tours. Their goal is to speak out for the millions of orphans around the world who can't speak up for themselves. They partner with an adoption agency as well as with Compassion International to give people opportunities to reach out to orphans. 

    5. FI and I are making plans to apply for our marriage license when he's here this weekend! I'm so excited! The thought of getting our marriage license makes everything feel so official!

    1. Getting ready to build! We're in the process of finalizing the floor plans so we can submit them to the county. That means we're really, really close to starting the foundation and framing!

    2. I'm going to be an aunt! I "inherited" two nephews when DH and I got married, but we just found out that SIL is pregnant. We're expecting a new little one in December. :)

    3. I'm finding time to read again. It's been hard focusing long enough to sit down and read lately. But I'm re-reading the Hunger Games trilogy. Currently on book two...

    4. God is GOOD! He has really had some big lessons for me lately. Some of them have been hard, but overall the things He is doing in my life are making me a stronger Christian and better wife/daughter/friend.

    5. I get to babysit my boss's kids next week. I'm excited because they're SO cute! But also nervous, because I haven't "baby-sat" in at least 7 years.

    1. School is almost over-- but I'm dying!! I have so much work to do between now and May 2nd that I don't know how I'm going to get it all done! :(

    2. Wedding planning is baaack!!-- I've been out of the wedding planning loop since I've been super busy this semester but after my exams are over I'm getting back in the saddle with DIY projects! Can't wait!

    3. So many DRs appointments-- I've been having horrible allergy issues and am going back to the allergist today for the Big Test. Then, I've been having lots of stomach issues so it's off to the gastro today too. 

    4. FI is getting his wisdom teeth out on Friday-- :( Poor guy! The good news is that he only has a 4 day work week, lol!

    5. I'm hosting a Knottie Get Together for my local Knot girls on Saturday! YAY!

  • 1. 2 month mark: Monday was the two month mark to the wedding! The time is flying by, I can't wait till June 16

    2. Boards: FI takes the first part of his national board next week. He is so stressed and nervous. I will be glad when I have my funny, joking FI back. Prayers gladly welcomed for him.

    3. Shower/girls night out: This past weekend was my shower back home and girls night out. We got some great gifts at the shower. We went to a murder mystery dinner theater for the GNO.

    4. Packing: I am slowly starting to pack some things up in my apartment for the move. We are moving some thing the Wednesday before the wedding, I am also making a Goodwill pile.

    5. Best friend moving back: My friend who moved away suddenly last summer to get away from an abusive relationship has decided she is ready to move back. She is praying for God to open a door for her with a job and school. I just wish this guy would leave her alone but we are praying everything will go ok.

  • 1. Our business is booming! FI and I actually own a business together (we both did seperately and combined when we got engaged) and its taking off like crazy right now. This is both a good and a bad thing - We are seeing much more success from it but at the same time I feel like my time for wedding planning just vanished lol

    2. Working out & Getting in Shape This means both FI and I :) I have always been a gym rat, but he's now coming with me 3-5 times per week at the gym, he started C25K and he's now got a Total Gym set up at home that I got from a friend and he LOVES using it

    3. In the throws of the Adoption process now Our next interview is on May 2nd with our worker!!!

    That's it for now, at work so gotta run lol
  • 1.  Went to Myrtle Beach this past weekend with two friends.  Water was an ok temp, but I we saw lots of jellyfish, so we didn't even get in enough to get up to our knees!  We visited one of the girl's grandma's because she lives near there.  Only since I've been living in SC have I regularly just "stopped by" to see someone's grandma!

    2.  I get to keep my psychiatrist for another year!  She's a second year resident, but third years do a lot more inpatient stuff.  She only keeps a handful of her therapy patients, but all 3 of her bosses said she should keep me!  This also means that I'm doing pretty well (as in, she doens't have to worry that she'll have to drop what she's doing to hospitalize me).

    3.  Went through my summer tops and pulled out a few to donate.

    4.  I have a paper due today, and I haven't finished yet.

  • This is my "easy" week and I do not work as much so I had time to shop at Michaels and got a monster load of good deals , Things are finally becoming REAL .. Oh and I got killer Jessica Simpson heels for $22 at TJ Max originally 90... Holla !! My birthday is coming up and FI told me he is taking me to the Dooney and Burke outlet and letting me pick out a new purse :P He bought me a knockoff coach purse that I've used to death the past 2 years. I've never used a purse so much before seriously...He said he would have picked one without me , he said he tried but he felt a lil gay being in the store... I laughed so hard.. He tries ... God love him ...

    Looking at two houses in his area this coming Monday

    Waiting to hear back from the other Nursing School if I got in or not, and had an interview closer to the other option that I was excepted at. Waiting/limbo as I have mentioned

    My save the dates are all sent out :)

    I tanned outside on the balcony on Tuesday it felt awesome and I felt less harmful then the tanning bed. Now if I could just get back into running/working out and we'd be in good shape... Literally.
