Long time, no post!

Wow! So it's been a while since I wrote anything. I used to be such a night owl but since I got the job I have acctually been going to bed BEFORE midnight. Crazy, I know. Well, work has been pretty good so far. The kids are really cute. I work in thw Infant 2 class which is 6 to 12 month olds but I love to break the Infant 1 people for lunch 'cause then I get to hold the little newborns. I love it! Um, what else? Oh, Memorial day weekend Chris and I drove to Normal, Il.( my hometown). One of my best friends got engaged on Sunday so we went down to celebrate with them. Haha, the thing is, we got there on Saturday and she and the other " girls", most of whom were in my wedding, wanted to hang out. Well, obviously she didn't know she was getting engaged on Sunday but she knew it was going to happen soon so she kept talking about it and wondering aloud when it would happen and the rest of us were just going crazy trying to keep it a secret from her! Needless to say, she was so happy on Sunday( and so were we). He surprised her with roses and took her out to the lake, then he told her to close her eyes and tied three strings around her ring-finger while quoting the verse about a cord of three strands. He then told her to open eyes and he slid the rign down the braided cords and onto her finger.

Yay!

I got a job! You may remember that I was interviewing with a daycare a while back. Well, they finally contacted all of my references, they went through and I start on Monday! I will be working in the infant room, which I am really excited about. We'll see how that goes. I hope it will give me my baby fix for now and help me be more patient about wanting my own but, like I said, we'll see.

Time flies

Haha, I was just randomly looking at the calender today and realized that it is the two year anniversary of the day we started dating. I was totally blown away because I just couldn't believe that it has been TWO years! Well, we'll be married for 9 months on the 19th but I can't believe that either. Man, it feels like our first year has just been flying by and we are having a great time. Married life has definitely been an adjustment for both of us( maybe a little more for me since I went from living at home with my parents to living three hours away from them and making a home together with my husband) but it has been great. I love my husband sooo much, I love being his wife, I love saying those words, and I thank God every chance I get for bringing this wonderful man into my life.

Mid-week update

so, here is the tale of how all my worries were for naught.About 45 miutes before church my sister-in-law, Crystal, called and said that she was dropping her husband( my husband's twin) off at our place because the guys were gonna hang-out and asked if I wanted to ride together. So, I didn't have to go alone and acctually crystal wasn't quite sure how to get there and I was able to direct her. Some how, even though I wasn't driving, knowing that I could explain how to get somewhere gave me confidence. I think tomorrow will be my post on tonight's message and the things I read today in trying to combat my anxiety. I feel like I have learned so many great things today, I mean, I felt like I was haveing these " wow" lightbulb moments all day and I need some time to think about everything and really let it all sink in.

Women's Mid-week

Tomorrow is going to be a women's mid-week service at church and I am both excited and a little nervouse. I am nervouse because I will most likely be driving there alone and driving in this city always makes me a little nervouse. I mean, I know how to get there but still I'm worried. I know I'm going to need to do a lot of praying about that and just really give my anxiouse thoughts and feelings up to god because, really, I know that there is no real reason for me to be anxiouse but I get so caught up in my far-fetched horror scenarios about what could happen that I lose sight of the truth, which is, God is in controll. Ok,well, besides that, I am acctually really excited to worship with all my sisters. I always loved women's services back home. I don't know exactly what but there is definitely something special that happens when women come together to worship God. Plus, I think it will be a really good oppertunity for me to get more out of myself and form friendships because,I must admit, I have been leaning on Chris too much and that is something I need to change.

Go Spidey!

Chris and I went to a midnight showing of spiderman 3 with his twin brother and his wife last night. It was so much fun, we loved the movie! It was like 3 O'clock when the movie let out and Chris had to be at work at five so that was kinda crazy but fun none the less.

Oh, and thanks to PlatinumRose, I finally learned how to get some sort of picture up. This is a collage of our engagement pictures taken by my dad who is a wedding photagrapher.
