First things first...my explanation for the sudden craziness on my blog.
I apologize. Being so young and so crazy at times, I forget how dangereous and unsafe this internet world really is...sooo, I am trying (work with me here) to keep some personal stuff off this blog (ie, location, specific jobs, etc). My fiance brought me back to reality when I spoke with him on Saturday and he was ALL torn up about me displaying our "new home". He's been learning all kinds of stuff down there in his school and I haven't seen him that upset with me, probably ever! So, to make amends, I realized that plastering my personal life all over the world wide web probably wasn't the smartest thing this cum laude college graduate has ever done. Not that I do not trust all of my sweet, sweet faithful readers..but anyone (ewww!) could come across this webpage and find out far more than they would ever need to know about me or my fiance. And that part just freaks me out a lil...ok, a lot.
So that's that! :) Furthermore, let me tell how the story of our finding out what our "new home" (as we shall call it) will be...
On Friday evening I was attending a wedding shower for my future sis-in-law! She is marrying my fiance's brother in 2 weeks. And get this, she has the coolest name on the planet: Shannon! haha! Yes, there will be 2 Shannon Lastname's in one year! She just the sweetest thing and I cannot wait to share in their day! So, while attending the shower, I had told everyone that I was expecting some very big news so I was going to walk around with my phone attached to my hand. (think, those 12 year old teeny-boppers who cannot go ANYWHERE without their cell phone in fear that their shaggy haired crush will call/text or that the world will come to an end and their heart will stop beating) Yes, that was me. I waited and I waited...NOTHING!
Finally...having waited foreverrrrrr..the boy calls his parent's house (where the shower was held) and asks to speak to me. Good grief my cell phone didn't have SERVICE! I only have like the biggest national cell phone service in the world...and didn't have freakin' service on the most important/life-changing day! Where's my people at?!? He then proceeds to tell me that we will only be traveling a short (repeat short) 6 hour move for his next step of schooling. Ahhhhh, my heart started beating again at this exact moment. Let's just say, his other option was only a 27 hour move (gasp!).
I know some of you are reading this and saying, "honey, get used to it." And let me give you some reasoning behind me wanting to stay within a day's drive to start off with. I do realize that it will not be this way forever and we could end up across the globe, and that part doesn't scare me...it was just the first move that terrified me. We will be attempting to tackle this wedding in July, move all of my belongings and get me settled in (without me moving in with him before marriage) and then having report back to work on the Monday after our wedding! Now you try doing all of this within 3 months and being 27 hours away from one another. Talk about stress. I also have some precious lil nephews/neices being born in late October that I will be rushing home to love on!
I do believe that God works everything out to His divine purpose and I have mentioned that in a few posts. He knew what was best for us at the present moment. I have been praying so hard for God to work out the plans for us...not myself, not Greg, not the Army. And I do not believe that anyone else had anything to do with this...except GOD! Yes, Greg's good grades helped, Greg's position in the class helped...but God worked it all out perfectly to His plan! This is the part that just amazes me! Once again...I'm in awe of Him! :) I do not know how a single person can see the events happening in their life and not believe that God had something to do with it? He's so faithful!
Anyways, back to the story, I went straight home and jumped on the computer! I began a long, long evening with my best friend: Mr. Google for some research! :) Hey, a girl's gotta find out where the nearest shopping mall will be?? The End.
Happy Monday lovely ladies!! This is the start to a VERY exciting week for me! 4 days of work here...traveling to see my Fiance on Good Friday! (it's "Good Friday" for a very important reason, not just because I'm seeing my Fiance) hehe. And celebrating Easter with him and attending the most fabulous church ever! Then, guess what?? I WILL BE ON SPRING BREAK! Woohoo! I have some very exciting plans for my week off from work including wedding invitations, wedding STUFF (that includes a lot of items), Carowinds with my BFF, and topped off with my future bro-in-law and future sis-in-law's wedding! I can barely contain my spastic-ness (is that a word?) right now!
::and I just realized that I have typed like a million words, so if you're still reading..bless your heart::
Here's some pics to brighten things up of items I purchased this weekend at the monthly J.Crew "yard sale" as I call it. Don't hate because I live right next to the J.Crew distribution center! :)
