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 now).  i can't wait to have read it all and then start again!

oh!  i should post about my bridal showers!


two weeks ago i had my shower in Coos Bay, thrown by my mom, Mark's mom and their mutual friend (and someone i've known for quite some time) Brenda.  it was SO great.  there were more ladies there than i expected and i had some of my high school friends there, along with two of my sisters!  we ate, played games and opened embarrassing presents.  i'm sad i don't get one of these every year!


last week i had my shower in Portland.  it was a tea party theme, and my sister Joellen threw it for me at my friend Asena's house.  it was awesome, i got a ton of cute floral tea cup and saucers, along with a beautiful tea set and a bunch of awesome gifts from all the lovely ladies that attended.  


only 16 days until the wedding!!

  1. It's awesome that those podcasts are not only relevant to your life, but also help keep you calm!

    And it's awesome that Joellen threw you a teaparty themed bridal shower! I had a tea party last weekend as well :) Sadly it wasn't an excuse to recieve gifts though :/

    16 DAYS! So excited for you. Congrats in advance if I havent already said it.

    (also, my captcha was "ringa" which I feel is appropriately wedding themed.)

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ...

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo

What I've been HALFway reading.

Guys. I've started around 512 books over the last few months. I haven't finished any. GAH. Here's just a few - Divergent by Veronica Roth. I'm so excited to actually keep reading this. I loved the movies but feel like the books are ALWAYS better. I haven't read much of this one yet because I feel guilty every time I pick it up. I always feel like I should be reading something that will improve me. I'll finish it some day. Simple Steps to Foot pain Relief by Katy Bowman, MS. I started reading this one for clients who have foot / knee / hip / back / shoulder pain. Basically any pain. I love trying to help my clients more than what they expect, so bits of information I can soak in and pass on are great! Katy Bowman does a great job breaking down the foot and then gives some awesome techniques on things you can do to help your feet. I'm close to done with this one actually, and thats good because it's due back at the library in a few days. Goo...
