So, this seems a bit strange to be blogging about, mostly because, I don't really know the first thing about marriage yet.  I don't know what its going to be like, how we will react to it...I basically just know that I can't wait :)  But I think its actually starting to hit me that in 40 days and 6 hours I will be standing in front of 100 or more people, confessing my undying love to my Mark....and to be honest, it kind of scares the dickens out of me.  First of all, the fact that I have to walk in to a room, where everybody then stands up to stare at me.  Oh my goodness, anyone that  even barely knows me probably knows that I hate the spotlight like that.  People are going to be staring at me!!!!  (WARNING : for those of you attending the wedding, please don't laugh at my face when it instantly turns bright red!).  Secondly, I'm really going to be married.  I tried to explain this thought to Mark the other day, and he laughed at me (go figur...

People always talk about this fun game called high / low, where they talk about the highs and lows of their days.  So today, I guess I just wanted to write a quick one.  My high was spending tons of quality time with my soon to be husband, working on wedding planning and daydreaming about our soon to be married lifestyle.  My low was waking up with super puffy eyes from all that crying last night.  I had a great last night with my twiblings, which also meant a horrible night, because they just wanted to sit on my lap and hug me and kiss me over and over, like they knew that I wouldn't regularly be spending time with them anymore.  It was so amazing, but I cried the last 30 minutes of being there.  I love those babies, they were the last 13 months of my life.  I taught them where their noses are, how to shake things, where a hat goes, how to say hi...I sang to them and prayed over them.  I spent countless hours rocking them to sleep and changed h...

The hard thing about blogging is that there are tons of things I could blog about, but I might hurt somebody's feelings, so I refrain.  Sheesh.  This first month of 2011 has gone by faster than I could have imagined.  Its already the 21st, and now less than 50 days until I get married.  This month I have : Found dates for both bridal showers, and the bachelorette party. Purchased my wedding dress. Picked up bridesmaids dresses and shoes. Read one book. Knitted a scarf and finished a baby blanket. Found a new job. Quit two jobs. Only purchased two articles of clothing. Loved my fiance with all my heart. So I'd say its been productive.   BTW, I feel badly about not inviting a  lot of childhood friends to the wedding, but our venue holds only about 120 people.  We have already invited over than many with family, family requests and our close friends here in Portland, so please don't hold it against us!  However, if you wold like to be a p...

Happy 2011!   This should be an exciting year, after all, we are finally in the year that I'm getting married to the most amazing man on the planet :) BTW, Christmas was good, having Naomi in town was great, I got to go hold two cute little babies in Olympia and spend some quality time with friends, then spent the last day of 2010 with the twins, and the evening with my wonderful fiance. Some great things about 2010: Met Mark. Got engaged to Mark. Saw more of Portland. Met awesome people at Theophilous. Took my first term at Bible College. Watched two little babies grow. Trusted God, saw results :).
