45 Days.....

I am 45 days away from becoming Mrs. Todd Anthony Lee :D I feel so happy I'm ready to burst!! My life has taken quite a turn and I feel like a completely new person.....

But at the same time, I wonder so much about what my new life will be like, what I will be like, in 45 days...... I like that I'm busy all the time with baseball games and getting stuff done for the wedding, but I'm also disappointed that my house is as messy as it is and that I'm tired All. The. Time...... Will I be able to keep up with the housework when there's someone else living in the house with me? Will I find time to be with others, not just my husband? What will it be like being married to a college student who is also working and coaching? Will I be willing to wait three years to have kids? Will I figure out what else God wants for my life? Or will I be so wrapped up in me, me, me to see what He has in store for me?

I know that these are questions that everyone has when they get married, and I guess I needed to voice them, even if no one else reads them.....

[Oh, and this list is in no way complete.... :P]

Wow. . .

. . . it's been a while!! Now that I have my home computer set up and my summer is starting to wind down [groan], I'll try to be more regular!

Stuff to look forward to: my trip to Mexico [which you have to pronounce "meh-he-ko"], my trip to New Orleans [Nawlins], a camping outing, and a few birthday parties :)

Oh, and coming soon. . . a blog devoted to my photography!!

Update

Last night I was at my mom and dad's house when my mom asked if I'd had an update on the good doctor.

Nope.

Apparently, the weekend he was supposed to call me, he ended up having to take care of some personal stuff with his wife/ex-wife. And at some point, she was seen by doctors who discovered an imbalance in her brain, which was causing her to act the way she was. They've now remedied that with medication and the two are back together. And to tell you the truth, I'm so completely happy for the two of them and their daughter! I know from talking to friends that he was not wanting to let her go, but was tired of dealing with her craziness and I think when I was "introduced" into the picture, he'd just had a bad week and was wanting an out. Fortunately, I didn't become that out and my heartache and disappointment have been minimal.

Of course, to complete the picture, I was set up on a blind date with another guy a few weeks after the good doctor didn't call. This new guy proceeded to tell me on our date that after he'd called me, an old girlfriend had called him and he was wanting to go back to her. Again, I'm happy for him because I can tell how much he cares for her and I wish them the best of luck.

I'm just waiting for my love luck to drop. . .

Kite Day!!

Can I just say what fun it is to fly a kite? What utter joy. . . =)

Can I also say how great it is to see young teenagers -- ornery, troublesome teenagers -- helping 2nd graders fly kites? YAY!!

Meant to Hear, Apparently. . .

I wasn't going to blog lyrics today, but for some reason this song kept popping up yesterday. When I got into my car to drive to work, this song was on. When I left work to drive to my grandma's house, this song was on. And when I got home and crawled into bed, this song was on. . . And I'm not saying it came on during the drive -- I'm saying IT WAS ON THE RADIO WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON!! Hopefully I can figure out what message I'm to learn :O.

Mighty to Save--Reuben Morgan
Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations

Saviour
He can move the mountains
For my God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Saviour
He can move the mountains
For my God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Shine Your light and
Let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory of the risen King
Jesus

Saviour
He can move the mountains
For my God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Proverbs 11:12-13

12 A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor,

but a man of understanding holds his tongue.
13 A gossip betrays a confidence,

but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.

LORD, forgive me for the gossipping I choose to partake in. And help me to make better choices so that I may gossip no longer. . .

Not A Fan. . .

. . . of Mondays. Nope. Not a bit. Especially rainy ones that make you want to stay in bed all day.

I am, however, a fan of Dove dark chocolate. And after going 45 days without chocolate of any kind, I'm REALLY a fan!

Here are the quotes found on the inside of my Dove Dark Chocolate with Almonds:

1.) Embrace life.

2.) Love is not getting but giving.

3.) Find a moment of tranquility within your day and savor it.

4.) Enjoy the pure indulgence of DOVE. [umm, duh!!]
