long time, no see

Well, I'm obviously not as dedicated to blogging as I should be. Since I posted last, I had some major life-changing experiences: I got ENGAGED, saw Wicked, started school again, learned that complaining is stupid, went to banquets, participated in homecoming, worked some more, and found my wedding dress. Yeah ...did I mention I got ENGAGED and I forgot to write that down? Wow. I need to work on that.

Anyways, I'm very excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Brent keeps having to reel me back into reality ...because now that we're engaged, I just get all excited thinking about the fact that I'm going to have somewhere to decorate next year (and I love to decorate)!! So what do I want to do right now? Buy decorations for a house/apartment I don't have. Hobby Lobby has their Thanksgiving stuff at 80% off right now. But Brent keeps reminding me that I don't actually have anywhere to put said decorations. "But they're just so cheap," I argue. But I'd probably end up stuffing them in my room back home with the rest of the stuff I don't know where to put. I really want to buy decorations. Pouty face.

It's started to really hit me that I'm getting married. And I mean "hit" in the best way possible. I've known that Brent and I are going to get married for a long time, so that's not what has really hit me. What's hit me is the fact that Brent and I are going to have a whole new life together!! Very exciting stuff. The other day, we were talking his poor Victoria and her future replacement. I said "don't worry, we'll find something good for you" and he grasped my hand and said "no honey, we'll find something good for us." I know that's a silly and small thing to make such a big impact, but it made me even more excited for the future!! Now we just need God to tell us where to start living that life. We have our first big job interview this weekend, so I'm really excited and a bit nervous (I'm mainly nervous because I'm staying up the night before to see New Moon at 12:01 ...but I digress). It'll just be a new experience: going on a job interview with someone else. Even FOR someone else. But I'm mainly excited to get just get to spend the weekend watching Brent work with the teenies. I love getting to witness his ministry ...I'm definitely looking forward to my future. It's gunna be a good one.
