thank you mat kearney.

for writing a great song that my almost husband and i will have our first dance to :) not too much has been happening lately.  just work, wedding planning...the regular stuff (my regular is going to be so much different after the wedding!!).   i've found that if i listen to podcasts on my drives to and from work, i don't get as stressed over traffic, so i've been listening to a lot of Matt Chandler from the Village church in Texas.  he is one of my favorite teachers...he always seems to talk about something that is relevant to me, which is great that the Bible is relevant to my life ;) anyway, he did a series on Colossians last year, and i'm listening to those...which is actually super awesome because my first term of Bible college was ALL ABOUT Colossians.  i can't wait to get through the entire thing.  i've also been working on reading the Bible beginning to end.  i don't think i've read much of the old testament, but so far i love it (in Numbers
