random rant from me =)

Not much news to report...it's been awhile, but it's mostly because I haven't had anything to say haha =).  Less than 3 months till the BIG DAY!! Hooray! 

Oh, and Gavin bought an XBOX this past week, and since he got some boy games for him, I thought it would only be fair to get something that I wanted to play...so we bought Scene It! Oh goodness, it's so fun! So now I get to enjoy the XBOX too! That's nice! =) I think we now have every gaming system that was ever created except for the PS3...haha that's so sad. Oh well, atleast we'll be entertained!!

Okay, so I had a whole post written up, but it was dumb so I deleted it, haha.  Most of it was just about conflict.  I had a brief conversation with a girl at work about it, and it really got me thinking. We talked about how lame the world would be without it. How dull would it be if we were all a bunch of cowards who avoided conflict because we disliked confrontation. There is never a time that I don't learn something from an argument, whether it be about myself, the other person, or just an understanding of the big picture and what really matters.  It's kinda funny to say something like 'beauty in the confrontation,' but it is something that I experienced last weekend.  Never have I learned so much from one discussion, and I came out a better, stronger person for it and the relationship was definitely strengthened because of it.  I used to be the one who shuts down in order to avoid an argument, but i'm quickly learning that is no way to go through life, and will certainly not allow for any progress. I honestly don't want to imagine a world without it...

In great conflict, you will either sink, or you're gonna swim. You can let it consume you, eat you up, and beat you down, or you can rise from it and learn from it.

That's all...

Love you guys!! Have a great weekend!!

update...

Well, I hope everyone had a good Valentines Day! I know I did. Gavin did his best to make it so special, and it really was! =) He even cooked us dinner....and it was really good! I might just make him the one who cooks when we get married!!

This weekend Gavin and one of his buddies get to attend Passion. They had one session last night and will have like 3 others today.  David Crowder, Chris Tomlin, and Charlie Hall will all be there leading worship, and I can't imagine that not being good! I cannot wait to hear what all he learned from this experience! Anyway, I have always heard GREAT things about it and I'm glad that the church is allowing them to go!

As for me, I am just chilling out this weekend. It is so great to just be able to relax from the stresses of the week.  Work has been draining, good but draining. I get tired around like 9:30 or 10:00 now, it's rather ridiculous! Last night, I went to dinner with Wendy at Anamias, which is probably like my favorite place ever! I love that girl! We had a great time and then came back and watched the movie Reign Over Me. It was....different.  Definitely not your typical Adam Sandler movie, but I thought it was alright.  And today....I picked up my DRESS!!! YAY!! So exciting!  And, well, with the weather like it is, I think i'm going to spend the rest of the day going to the gym, and then coming home and chilling in my sweatpants. What a great way to spend a Saturday!!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Super!

Things could really not be better right now! For some reason it's just been a weird/hard past few weeks, but everything just seems to be falling into place now.  God has blessed me with this amazing new job, that I absolutely love! It's not the most glamorous by any means, but the people are so great!!  Not alot of people can say that they enjoy going to work...and i'm not going to say that in a few weeks i'll be dreading it, but i do enjoy going to work for now!  It's comforting to have this assuring feeling that this is where I am supposed to be right now.  

As for Gavin and I, we are great!  I cannot wait for May 24th to get here!  These past few weeks when I have been anything but pleasant, he was the epitome of love and patience.  He is going to be such an amazing husband! =)  I cannot believe that it is almost 3 months away!  The bridesmaids dresses all came in yesterday, our final payment for our cruise is due in a week or two, bridal portraits next month, and wedding showers are a little over a month away.  It's all becoming so real! Yay!!

Hope all of you have an amazing weekend! 

Hooray!

Well, the search for my job is over---I found one!! Hooray!!  I start Wednesday and really could not be more excited.  Another thing is that it has been so cool to look back and see God's hand in it all along.  This whole time He has had this perfect plan for me, and just because I didn't get something right when I wanted it, does not mean that God had forgotten me.  Anyway, that is my exciting news! 

I got to go out with Kendra and Wendy last night for girl's night!!  I had a blast!  We went to BJs and stayed there for a good 4 hours, haha.  It was so great just to enjoy the company of good friends and have some laughs!  Lynsie and her boyfriend, Chris, also met up with us, so it was definitely good to see them too!  

As for wedding news, we went and picked out tuxes yesterday!  So that's fun....it's getting closer!!!!! =)

Welp, that's all for now..Have a good rest of the weekend!!
