Man! It's been too long. I am going to try to keep this thing updated!

I am loving the married life and just trying to find a job! I know God has the right one for me.

I will leave you with a pic from the wedding. Didn't I have the most beautiful wedding cake ever? Ok, so I know I am partial! Love you all!

That's right! David and I will be starting our married life back home. Why? Well, we feel like God wants us here. I am hopefully going to get a job at Childrens Hospital (dream job) and David is looking for a job.

So, I am home job hunting this week and probably will live at home for awhile so I can save some money before having to find our own place!

We are very blessed and this transition is very hard, but very exciting! David is excited about working and learning from Micah at church and we know God has a master plan for us!

Wedding planning is going amazing! Things just falling into place...God is good! More updates to come! Stay tuned!

So, most of you probably already know, but I am engaged! David proposed to me and I said yes, of course. I wanted to write a little blog about how he did it because I know everyone wants to know.

We are in Long Beach this weekend and I met with the pastor's wife this morning about children's church (David set this up to occupy me, but I didn't know at the time). I spent the morning with her talking about children's church, cirriculum, etc. and then David called me and said to meet him at the church when we got done and we would go to lunch. I left and headed for the church still completely clueless.

I walked into the church (with an armload of Walmart bags) and noticed that there was rose petals scattered in the sanctuary. I immediately knew what was about to happen and started shaking. Literally, my knees turned to jello. I then started calling out for David and he never answered so I walked in the sanctuary and their were rose petals scattered everywhere and candles lining the aisle. I got to the front, where the alter is, and there was a table set up with pictures of us, ticket stubs to movies we went to, restaurant reciepts, and cards I had given him. I turned around and David was coming up the aisle playing his guitar and singing "All I Want is You" which is the first song he ever sang to me.

He started telling me how the guitar can be enjoyed by people listening to it and but it wasn't plugged in so only the people there could hear it. When you plug it in, the whole world can enjoy it. He said it was time for the world to know about us and time for us to start our life together. He reached in the guitar and pulled out the ring (it was tied to a string) and then got down on one knee, told me how much he loved me, and asked me to marry him.

BTW, of course the whole time this is going on I am crying, covering my mouth with my hands, and shaking like a leaf. I couldn't even form the word "yes" I just started nodding. He slipped the ring on my finger (which is BEAUTIFUL) and of course there was lots of hugs, kisses, and excitement! Then the phone calls started! It was absolutely perfect and something I will always remember! I am probably leaving out details and he could tell it better, but I was having an out of body experience!

We are getting married September 25, which is only 5 months away! I have a lot to do before then, but we really didn't want a long engagement. Just pray I find a job fast!!!

Love you guys!

So, sorry I haven't written in awhile. This one will be short, but I wanted to give a quick update.

I am DONE with practicum (except for finishing up my final paper) and winding up most of my other classes, graduation here I come!

Tomorrow is David and I's anniversary! We have been together a whole year. We celebrated with dinner and a movie tonight and decided to give each other Easter Baskets as anniversary gifts in the morning, because our anniversary falls on Easter this year. Thanks babe for a GREAT year! You are the best! Pictures to come!

So, next Sunday we are having a potluck lunch at the church. I was wondering if any one had any good ideas on something I could bring. I will probably make my famous chocolate chip cookies that everyone at the Way goes nuts for, but I need a main dish. The thing is, that I would have to cook it that morning and it won't be eaten until lunch, so it needs to be good until then. I am stuck!

Here is some pics from the class on worship David taught on Saturday for the Bible college at our church. It was amazing! I am so proud of him!
