Our New Life in the working...

Well, This coming weekend J and I are making a trip to Macon, Ga for a prospective church. J made it into the top 3 of the music pastors they are looking for. It is completely a God-thing because he apparently wasn't even supposed to be looked at seeing that he has no experience and has not been to seminary. Either way, we're going to visit and just spend time with the people and staff at the church. He will lead worship Sunday so I know he is nervous about that. We are both just praying a lot about this because we will really need the Lord's guidance and direction during and after this weekend. We have to be so sensitive to the Spirit and not get Him confused with our own wants and desires. It's exciting but kind of scary at the same time. I trust the Lord will guide us where he wants us to be. I know Jared is seeking God through this whole job-search process. I am so blessed to have such a God-fearing husband-to-be. He means the world to me!

I'm really bad at this whole blogging thing. I love reading blogs, but I just don't take the time to sit down and write my own blog. Anyway, we are about 6 months from the WEDDING DAY! It's so crazy how fast everything goes by. I am a junior in college and about to become a wife to a wonderful man. There are so many changes coming up here within the year. I will turn the big 2-1! I will get married. I will move out of my house and then to a brand new place that I don't know yet. Then I will be living with a boy ;) And I will have to make all new friends on top of that. I know the Lord is so sovereign and will give me everything I need to keep going with a servant's heart and a joyful heart. It's just definitely a daily struggle to continue trusting in His good will for everything. I have an awesome fiance who helps me with that all the time. He is so trusting of the Lord in all this; it's such an encouragement to walk alongside him and know that he is not making all these decisions on his own-he is consulting the God of the Universe! Well, now I guess I'll update some wedding plans (yes I am doing things despite what many people seem to thing).

Well, as said in the last post we are getting married in good 'ol Sylacauga:) It's a beautiful place. I can't wait til we can play with it and decorate it. We also found a caterer I think-us...I know. Well, all our quotes from outside caterer's were WAY out of our budget and then I got this grand idea of having a...drum roll...Nacho Bar! I know it's brilliant. Hah, no but for real I think it'll be fun to do. Just have chips, tortillas, meat, and all the fixins. Then instead of the groom's cake I think we're going to do a dessert table.

I also finished a special project for my bridesmaids. I'll put a picture on here as soon as they all get them. I also ordered my postcard Save the Dates. They are too cute. I will put a picture of those on here too. I hope they turn out as cute as they were on the computer. J and I had our friend, E, take some pictures for the Save the Dates and they turned out so cute. They aren't engagement pictures because I want those to be taken in the fall (I love fall clothes and just fall in general), but they are still really cute.
















well, those were some of my favorites. Hopefully I'll be putting more fun pictures up. I think our next big project is making a veil...should be interesting!
