Things are great

I've been thinking....I know that it's soo easy to complain and grumble about things, but I have so much to be thankful for. For instance, I recieved a call today telling me that my wedding dress has arrived! It's a strong reminder that my wedding is actually going to happen and I am really getting married. I know that the wedding planning can be stressful, but realizing that I am marrying the man of my dreams definately makes everything come out sunshine and butterflies.
Another thing I am thanful for is David (yes, the same guy mentioned in the first paragraph). Yes we do argue and fight and the stresses of wedding planning and other things can effect all areas our our lives, Ican't help but remember why we are getting married in the first place, we love eachother! He's not perfect (neither am I), but he sure is wonderful, he loves me and he wants to spend the rest of his life with me (and I with him). That is definately a reason to be thankful. I know that God must be sick of hearing how happy I am to have David as part of my life. I know that everything won't be perfect in our lives...but that can't stop me from counting my blessings and enjoying every minute of them.
Another thing I am thankful for is my wonderful family. They are helpful with running ideas past for wedding plans. I'm also trying to make room in a very small space so that my sister and I can share the room for the last summer ever. For some reason she things that she needs to go elsewhere...I'm not sure why...and I think that she thinks that she can't come home this summer...which is plain silly. It's going to be our last summer to share a room and we'll both be super busy with summer jobs so we won't see each other much anyways.
Being thankful is catchy...and even if I don't feel well because I am trying to overcome a cold, I can't help be feeling sooo happy. I have such great things to be thankful for like these and many others including a 2 month teaching position teaching Kindergarten starting in May. I can't help but feeling sooo blessed in all areas of my life. Till next time.

Blah!

Ok...Thelma is better. My truck broke down on Thursday morning and after a lonnngggg weekend, she's better. Thankfully it was nothing a new distributor and a tune up couldn't help. She's up and running (literally) and sounding better than she has for a long time.

I was also asked if I would want to take over a Kindergarten class starting in May until the end of June. Of course, I said yes. I was in the class this morning till noon and they are great. I am super uber excited. The best part, the school is just down the road!

I'm going to make a payment on my wedding dress this weekend. David and I will be doing some registry stuff while where at the mall. Wedding plans have been kinda slow this past while..but my other half (didn't say if he was better or not) has been really busy with school work.

Guess that's about all that's new here. Thankfully, the excitement of the past week is over. Keep checking...I'll be posting again soon.

And that was March Break...sigh

Ok..March Break is over. I think when I take over the world, March Break will be two weeks long. 1 week to relax and 1 to get the things that are needed to be done done.

David and I went to Acadia. It was really neat. The Divinity College was smaller than we expected, but the overall experience was great. Questions were answered and insight was recieved. We did leave yearly though due to a storm. We stayed with Lisa and Danny. It was super duper great.

The remainder of the break was nice and relaxing. I worked on my knitting, some crocheting read about a chapter of a book, watched some movies and helped around the house. I also had a suprise birthday party. I knew that Sylvia was going to make me a cake..but I didn't know it was going to be chocolate with boiled frosting and that I was going to recieve gifst too! David bought me a purse, wallet, umbrella and some foot soak. I also recieved 2 beading magazines and a bead pattern book. Oh so very cool. Thanks again guys.

We were to leave Thursday, but when it came time to leave, it was almost impossible to see across the road..so we waited another day.

And now here we are....almost done the break. We didn't get any plans done on the wedding, but we did get (were given) a table, silverware and a coffee machine. Woo hoo!

That's all for now.
