Upset

Its hard not to be upset about something when you know the effort is put elsewhere but when it comes to you it's a second thought and seems difficult.

Understanding.

Someone told me they'll never know who I am. 25 years old and I've got parents who don't really know anything about me. Shouldn't have pushed me away, maybe.

I love this man, this man of mine. Small and super sentimental gifts all day from this guy. I can't wait for June 3rd either!!!

Look what you've done.

I struggle with the fact that I will have you in my life forever. I hate that you hurt me and although I said I've forgiven you I feel like I've changed my mind again. I am a prisoner of hate because of the pain you have caused me. I wish you were not around as often as you are. When I see you I tell, myself to be kind, but the kinder I am the more I feel like you think I'm completely okay and the slate had been cleared. Woman, you have become my biggest obstacle. I hate that I tell this way, but I want you to feel my pain tenfold.

The cutest messenger yet!

I think its kind of funny how some people are feeling hurt that we didn’t directly call them letting them know we were engaged. The only people who received a call besides our siblings and parents were the grandparents. If you weren’t a sibling by blood or a grandparent of ours we did not call you. Also, if we haven’t asked you to be in our wedding party its because you aren’t. Those in the wedding party were chosen based on spiritual and emotional support for the bride and groom. So if you did not do any of those things, do not be so surprised that you were not asked. That was your decision, really. Be lucky if you’re even invited to our wedding. At least you know were giving you a reason for a trip to Hawaii and a free meal.

Work

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm over not working! Last week we had three days off, this week I took Monday and Tuesday off for Disneyland and recooperating, Wednesday was my only full day, Thursday i left three hrs early, and today I'm at home in bed. Goodness, this stinks.

I’M GETTING MARRIED

I can’t believe it... I’m as shocked as I was on December 25th @ 10:15pm when he asked me to marry him.  I’ve wanted this for so long, and it’s finally happened!  I can’t stop thanking God for such a good family- both his and mine.  I can’t stop thanking God for the strength He’s given me to wait three years... I can’t stop thanking God for the support and love we’ve been given, from the time he first thought about it to the day it happened!  AHHHH!!! 

Since December 26th I’ve been pinterest-ing, researching hotels and venues, making calls, and doing everything I possibly can to make sure everything stays on track!  We’ve got 5 months... FIVE MONTHS!

The world says “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” should go by in a rush of twinkling lights and sparkly wrapping paper. I say I’m going to spend this time in the wonder of my most holy Lord.
