I guess after months and months of a hiatus on wedding planning, I finally realized that it’s not gonna get done unless I do it! This past weekend was really my first chance to work on stuff, so I took advantage of it. David and I did the bulk of our registering, I bought his wedding band, and we picked out tuxes. The latter was by far the easiest and most fun part of planning so far. Just get my fiance and my brothers together in general, and it’s bound to be a good time. I have also been promised some high quality reception entertainment, and the words “spoken rap” and “cane and gloves” definitely made an appearance. Should be…

Gave my tithe to my church Paid a huge chunk of money on my credit card bill Car insurance and phone bills Miscellaneous gas and food Donated to my four monthly charities (Compassion, Tabor College, support for two friends who are missionaries) Bought my cousin’s wife a baby shower gift Bought the CD Ampersand by Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken Paid to have my address changed on my driver’s license Premarital counseling And lastly… Bought Coldplay tickets.

Two cups of coffee and I didn’t feel the sleep I was missing until about 1 p.m. when we…

This is me with my Aunt Rodda, my mom’s younger sister, at a baby shower she threw for my cousin’s wife over the weekend. She hates having her picture taken and I don’t understand it because I think she’s so pretty!

Hey everyone, I’m returning to the internet world. I’ve been almost completely cut off, only able to briefly check my e-mail at work. I have to say, this past week has been pretty depressing. Not because of the lack of internet, but because my life is in upheaval. My roommate Amanda moved out last week, taking all of her furniture and dishes with her. Courtney and I lived the whole week in a bare apartment, with no TV, no internet, barely any food, no plates or bowls, etc. It was a lonely place. I did a lot of reading. Also, I am still getting used to my work schedule. I love my job, but there are times when I despair…
