I thought I would follow up my promise to blog more by actually doing so. Life has been really good lately. Joey and I just got from a weekend marriage retreat. We went to Oklahoma City (or "The City" as Oklahomans call it) and spent a wonderful weekend at the Marriot, in separate Rooms of course. It was such a blessing to get a weekend away and be able to focus on our future together. Some people have jokingly asked if I still want to marry him after this weekend and I have never been ao such of something in my life. We spent 48 hours asking hard questions and learning tough lessons but the weekend ends with a mature conversation on the way him where we disagreed and loved/accepted each other through the conversation.
(By the way, I'd you're looking for a marriage conference to attend, or a beautiful gift to give an engaged couple, check out www.familylife.org)
Wedding planning has been put on the backburner lately as school and work has been so busy. Joey's mom has also been super duper busy, so we are all taking everything one step at a time. School has been super harsh lately but I have tries to accept that I have to get through the next 7 months and I want to do it well.
If anyone wants to assist in wedding planning and crafts, I am happily accepting helpers. Humbly, I might add. Lol. That's something I am working on. I know not everyone wants to read it, but I amazon in love with the man that God has given me. He is tAking steps every single day to love me more and showing me a beautiful pictie of Christ in the Leslie we learn together. He is making a daily effort to change things of the past and encouraging me to do the same, so we can enter our marriage (7 months from now) with clean hearts and clear minds....as we take on the responsibility of being a mirror thats hinds the love Christ showed for his Bride.
Kep us in your prayers and I continually pray that we will be an encouragement. And inspirationto every one of you we come into contact with on a daily basis.
Thank you for reading (and for joining us through this journey)
