We are Blessed!

Ok so I started this and then quit because I really doubt anybody looks at this but I figure I will just go ahead and write anyways! This week has been very eventful for Chris and I! We got a house!! The best deal ever! One of my sisters college roommates lives in Carrollton where we are wanting to move! Her and her husband Michael are moving to Arizona for his work for a while but keeping their house here. They are so gracious enough to let us live there while they are gone! It is the cutest house! Anyways God has really blesses us there!

We both started school this week! I started at DTS (Dallas Theological Seminary) and Chris and SMU! We are both really excited about it! I am feeling so lucky to be in the position to be going to DTS. It is amazing. Every class we open with a prayer and that in itself is the coolest thing I have experienced after coming out of a Big Public College. Anyways, again another wonderful blessing from my heavenly father!

Chris and I just finished our "Before You Say I Do" class at Prestonwood Baptist Church. We really really enjoyed it and I would STRONGLY encourage people who are engaged or thinking about marriage to attend because we have learned more about ourselves as a couple and as individuals in the last seven weeks that we have in the almost two years we have been together! Both of our parents were able to come for a lunch last sunday for the in-law or out-law meeting! It was hilarious! Needless to say we ALL learned alot about becoming part of a new family!

Also this week I started my job full time being a nanny for the Robert's family. There are three little boys and they are precious! It works out perfectly with my class schedule and even though my days sometimes got from 8am to 10pm I am loving it!

As far as wedding plans... Chris and I have kind of hit a wall! We have already done so much that we don't have to much left to do! This week we found our wedding bands so now it is a process of ordering them and buying them. I got the bridesmaid dresses order a couple weeks ago which is a HUGE relief! We are needing to look at Tuxedos now! Other than that we are pretty much ahead of schedule!

I hope everyone is having a blessed week and that you are being shown the love and mercy of our father in the same way that Chris and I have seen it daily! I am just blown away at the lavish gifts we who live in the country receive and hope that we can become a generation of thankful worshippers who know that it is NOT ABOUT US!! That we can recognize that we are apart of this magnificent story and how awesome it is to be able to play the roles that we are given! It is all for his glory!! God is so good and I am so thankful each and every person in my life!! I love you all!!
