Oh My Gosh its March!
Well Happy March! I am just sitting in my living room missing my husband horribly! He left me tonight to go to Arizona on a business trip :( so sad being grown up and what not. I had such a fun weekend that I thought I would give everyone a re cap!
Well lets go a little further back into the week ...
Wed Chris and I tried out a young marrieds small group! We both really liked it and are excited to get more and more involved!
Friday I got to eat lunch with my parents at my mom's work (Crossroads Bible Church) which was lots of fun! Then Courtney came into town, for a job fair, so we cooked dinner and got to catch up with her! She stayed with us friday night and Joey and Chassity came over and we played some catch phrase!
Saturday Chris and I took our sweet Benga to the park because it was BEAUTIFUL outside! Then my brother came over to hang out with us! It was so much fun! Chris and Ryley played X-Box most of the time but I didn't mind sitting and watching! I made dinner and we just hung out. Ryley is probably the greatest brother and 18 year old of all times! Love him! So he left us and Chris and I went to blockbuster and decided rent the first season of House because we have recently become addicted.
Today we went to church and then I had to take Chris to the airport :(. After that I went to my friends Jenny and Jonathons shower! It was so much fun hanging out with friends and getting to be with them at their shower! I am so happy for them! Then I went to my parents house and watched a movie with them and hung out for a while! Now i am all alone blogging in my living room!
So that is the up to date on Jackie's life! Its really windy outside and it makes scary noises in my house :0 I hate being alone!
Love yall!!!!

An Update ....
Well I thought I would just update everyone on the happenings on our lives! We have been pretty busy running around the last month trying to get use to being married and for me, living with a boy haha! It has been so much fun though and we are loving every minute of it!
School is going great! I'm loving every minute of it and am getting more and more excited about the next few years as I get more in depth in it. I am learning so many cool things about God that I never knew before. It is just so cool and I'm really treasuring this time in my life! I am also in a bible study through the Village with Katie and Haley which has been really a great study. We are doing Beth Moore, Fruits of the Spirit. Each week it is EXACTLY what I need to hear! Chris is really liking his job! He is thinking hard about going back and getting a masters which would be great, he is so smart! TI must think so too because after 8 months of work they have already really recognized and rewarded him for what he does there! I'm so proud :)!
This week we bought a rug .. i know that sounds funny but it was a big purchase for me (ask Katie haha). I couldn't decide and Chris and I had been talking about this for so long that I just bought one! Thank goodness Ryan and Katie moved back and she was able to help me pick it out! Lets See..... My brother's basketball team is in the third round of the playoffs this week so we are going to that game on Tuesday!
This weekend was a lot of fun for us! We went to Ryley's game on Friday night and they won! Saturday Chris went golfing with a bunch of guys ALL DAY .. he left the house at 8:30am and got home around 6 that night! Which left me to do nothing so i went and spent the afternoon with my family which was so much fun for me! Saturday night we had Leigh-Anne and Kevin and Ashleigh and Brendan over which was so great! THe boys sat in front of the t.v and watched some bball and us girls just chatted for hours! Loved it! It is funny because Chris went to highschool with Leigh-Anne, and her and Kevin go to the Village which is how we met them. And I go to school with Ashleigh, but it turns out Leigh-Annes fiance Kevin went to highschool in Houston with Ashleigh and her husbanh Brendan! Small Small world! So we had a little get together! Today we went to church and then to Chris' parents house for lunch. Then we took our baby Benga to the park and wore him out and met my parents at Pei Wei for dinner! Fun fun weekend!
Well I hope all is well with everyone and that you have a wonderful week!!!!!

5......
Well this week is going to be absolutely CRAZY!! We have something going on everyday and it just feels like it is flying by. I started my second semester today and am in between classes right now! I am glad to be back at school especially since it means I am getting married this weekend!
I had a blast at my bachelorette party this weekend! IT was really sad though, the night before my sister was throwing up and got really sick. The day of she had to go to the ER clinic and get an IV. She is the best sister ever because she still stuck it out and stayed until after the lingerie shower. I felt so bad for her and am so glad she is feeling better. She is probably the greatest sister ever. All the girls and I went to Logans after the shower and were the only ones in the place dancing haha! It was fun and I am so glad I got to see everyone!!
Love everyone lots!!!!

The Countdown continues
Well .. 10 more days. Oh my gosh that just sounds so crazy. But yes in ten days I am going to be a married women! So all of my posts until then are going to sounds the same :)! Lets see what is new with the wedding stuff. I am about 60% moved into Chris and I's house in Carrollton. I can't decide when I should move all of my stuff in cause then I would be living out of a suitcase until we get married which doesn't really sound like to much fun. I can't wait to finally live there! I go over about everyday to let the dog out while Chris is at work so it is making me really anxious to just be able to live there!
On that note though, I will be very sad to move out of my parents house. I am probably a little more attached to my family then the average person, ok who am I kidding probably more attached than the most persons haha but I love them alot and have been pretty emotional this last week about moving. It's just that I do have that family who can talk about everything, who loves one another unconditionally, who are all best friends, and who talk about God openly! I have such an awesome family! I'm so glad that they love Chris like he is one of us and that he loves them as well! Yea for family!
Ok well my bachelorette party is on Saturday! I can't wait! I just am excited to hang out with my friends all at the same time! I feel like it has been FOREVER since i got to have a girls night with everyone there! AND BONUS my sister and Savannah Grace are coming in town on Friday and staying until the wedding which means I get a whole week of having my sister and my sweet niece here with me!
Well I hope everyone is having a great day! Hopefully I will be back soon to update!

Lead Me To The Cross
Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross
I have been so sad lately. I have something in my life right now that I wish with all my heart I could change, but the only way I could even remotely make it better would look something like compromising my stance in the Lord. I am who I am, I am a daughter of God, I love Him and I want to live my life to honor Him. I know that I am not a perfect person and i know I make a lot of mistakes but I know i have a perfect forgiveness and example in Christ. My heart breaks to think that on this earth that is not good enough. Christ is not good enough. We, and when i say we I mean us in the Christian community, judge people based on labels and colors and nationality. If I don't carry the right "name" or look the right way or practice my faith the right way than I am undoubtedly going to be "unworthy" to someone. I am a follower of Christ, why is that not ok? Shouldn't the ultimate judgement be His? I know he lived a perfect life, died for my sins, and rose from the grave. That is the gospel, I trust Him with my life and that is ALL His gift of salvation requires. There is no fine print. I wish I could let things roll off and I am normally ok with that but when my faith comes into question or how and where I choose to worship my Lord, it is very personal to me. Maybe I am learning a lesson with this situation, but at the end of the day when its all said and done, I have a savior who will lift that burden from my shoulders and give me rest. Praise God for that.
Sorry if I am sounding down in this post when I should be jumping for joy!!!! I am getting married in 2 1/2 WEEKS!!!! Oh my gosh I am so fired up. I can't wait to marry Chris! He is so wonderful and I am so lucky. I can't believe how fast time has flied. Sometimes I still can't believe I'm engaged and now I am going to be married! WOOHOO!! He is going to be such an amazing husband! YEA! Ok well Hope all is well with everyone!!!!
