I can't believe it's already March...
and to cut to the chase, yes, I'm engaged!
I think I've told the story a million times,
and I've been waiting for the pictures to post the story on facebook and on my blog here...
but I think some people (Jenny) would want a post sooner than later.
The story of the proposal, however, you must wait 'til later.
For now, here's a picture I just took with Photobooth right now. LOL.
Please excuse my condition...It's 12:30am and I really should be sleeping...-_-;;
That's right ladies and gentlemen...not a single lady no more.Lol...I have no idea where that came from, but it did, so I'm leaving it there in all its Beyonce glory.
Anyway, yes, of course, I love my ring, but more than the ring itself, I appreciate the time and effort Danny had to take to make this purchase, and even more than that, I appreciate him, our relationship, and all the sacrifices the both of us had to make in order to make this happen.
Thank you to everyone that has blessed us, encouraged us, and prayed for us along the way. We have much more ahead of us now, so please continue to do so!
As for wedding planning...it hasn't really begun yet. My parents are making their way over next weekend, and once the parents have gotten together and discussed things, I think then, the real planning shall begin. Eek. Honestly, I have not a clue as to where to begin (although Miriam did get me an awesome checklist book by The Knot).
Anyway, enough of all of that talk...
I've obviously failed on my wishes to post more frequently this year...but it's only 1/4 over, so I can still improve! I've also been having quite a hard time with remembering daily that I want to die to my self...but I'm trying. Honestly, it is so difficult, but one good thing is that each time I fail, it serves as motivation to press on. With each time that I realize I am living for myself and not for Christ, I am reminded that I need him that much more. As for losing weight...I lost some, and then gained it all back. Haha...BUT! Like I mentioned earlier...I still have 9 months, although I'd like to lose it in the next 3 months if possible.
Aside from resolutions, work is getting busier and busier. Deadlines are approaching fast, and I can sense the tension in the office rising. Lots of office drama going on, and while I definitely want to be a part of the office, I am desperately trying to see how God would want me to interact. I do not want to partake in the gossip, but neither do I want to seem arrogant, distant, or uninterested. I do not want to work 24/7, but neither do I want to appear like I am just putting in the hours without genuine interest and passion. It's difficult drawing lines and with a dozen decisions I need to make each day, as small as it may be, I wonder if I'm making the right ones. You can probably tell, but I feel so divided.
Wisdom (which is exactly what I need) begins with the fear of the Lord. God-fearing. I want to and need to be a God-fearing woman. Please pray for me that I fear the Lord and love the Lord with all my heart.
Well, now it's past 1 and I really must go to sleep.
Goodnight world!
