Summer is in sight!

Looks like summer plans are starting to get made. I gave my notice at work so now I just need to figure out where I'm going to work back in Katy this summer. I've also got two hits on my sublease add, so hopefully that'll work out too. Praise God for his provisions! Speaking of which, Crockett got a job! A huge praise report!! :D We have two possible dates for wedding showers set up, each in Denton & Katy. And Crockett and & I have decided to throw a camping trip for the wedding party at the start of summer. It's going to be so much fun! I'm getting eager for school to be out so I can focus on the wedding more. It's been difficult being 5 hours away from venues and places I need to visit. Hopefully school can be priority until then though.

Continue to pray for us as we start our lives together, we will need lots of God's good grace and protection as we try to be full time students/newlyweds/providers. We are blessed and God has been faithful so far. So here is a thanks in advance, because I know he'll continue his work.

Tank is getting so big and has his surgery scheduled (neutered) for next Friday. Hopefully he'll be a good patient and I won't have to buy him a "cone head" as Crockett refers to it. Well, that's all for now. I'm looking forward to keeping up with this thing a little more now that I've updated it. Until next time! - B <3

Engaged!

We're engaged! As of 1.6.10 I am officially on my way to becoming a wifey. August 14, 2010 we will enter as two and leave as one. :] It's going to be 7 month engagement... and a lot of people have a tiny problem with that. No one has directly said it to my face, but I've heard, "WOW. That's really soon." "Dude, really???" "O my goodness that's so soon." "You're gunna have a long engagement right? Cuz you're young; you have your whole life." and so on and so on. Now because I'm a pretty nice person my response has been, "Yeah, we're excited!" It's getting annoying, but I'm going to ignore the negative comments (and emails) and just know that I'm following God's plan. Crockett & I are excited. It's been a great year and a half so far and I'm looking forward to forever! :)

10.17.08 changed my life

When you're gone pieces of my heart are missing. You are my other half and now that I've found you I can't stand to be without you. My life began the day you kissed me. I didn't know love before you. I didn't know what it meant to be appreciated and cared for, missed and valued, and most importantly loved. When you speak I know it's the truth. I don't question where you've been or who you've talked to. I know exactly where your heart lies, with me. Your faithfulness is undeniable and I have fallen absolutely, madly, crazy in love with you. You are my future. My life. My husband. My whole world. You make me strive to be a better woman, Christian, and girlfriend. When I stand next to you, I look up and feel overwhelmed by love. How could God have given me so much? What did I do to deserve such beauty? Inside and out you are a priceless work of art. I am in awe of you. I spent my whole life searching for you. I got lost along the way a few times, but I somehow found my way to you. Nothing can describe the way I feel when I am lying next to you just staring into your eyes. When you hold me I feel safe from the world; your arms are my hiding place, my comfort, my home. When you cradle me I feel protected, like something precious you're scared to lose. I'm breakable and you treat me that way... with care. You, Crockett Thompson, are my forever. I promise baby, I promise you everything.
day 1- I met you.
day 14- I got you.
day 29- I loved you.
day 69- You trusted me.
Today is day 113 and I'm looking forward to forever.
