pre-birthday festivities!!

Wow! I'm so shocked at myself! It is the NIGHT before my birthday and I'm just now getting around to even mentioning it! If you know me at all, this is NOT NORMAL! :) That should give you some inkling to how incredibly busy I have been! Normally, I start counting down my birthday on April 1st~haha. Oh well, I dropped the ball this year, but don't worry..there's always next year!

I can't believe that I'm going to be 26 tomorrow..yes, I said 26! I don't feel 26...I feel younger...oh well at least I don't look it..or that's what they tell me! Bryan says that 26 is going to be a good year for me, and I think I believe him! I sure thought I would be getting married WAY earlier than 26, but I see now that wasn't God's plan! I am glad that I had to wait almost 26 years for this man...I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat~

So, back to the pre-birthday festivities...I'm currently writing this post from Atlanta, Georgia! Yes, relaxing in our super nice hotel, with Bryan and my future mother-in-law. :) This weekend Bryan has his Regional gymnastics meet here in Atlanta, so he decided for my birthday to bring me along. I, of course, said yes!

Bryan and Mom drove over last night, and we all flew out of DFW this morning. Yes, that was quite a story, but we made our flight and arrived here safely. We rented a rental car, drove to our hotel, and just relaxed for a while. For dinner, Mom treated us to a yummy Olive Garden dinner! Thanks Mom!

Tomorrow we're planning to go to the World Acquarium, which I'm very excited about, before we head to the meet. Not sure what else we'll be doing, but I'm sure it will be fun!

Other tidbits of news...I got my big project over with for grad school, which I'm VERY glad about!! The next day I had my formal observation with my principal, which also went really well! I only have one more grad school class for the spring semester, and one more project for that class. Whoo Hoo!! Of course, then I'll be starting a May mini, but it's all online, with one of my favorite professors, and it's my LAST ONE! YEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Well, I guess that's about it! Hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend!

And now I'll sign off one last time as a 25 year old~goodbye age 25! You've been a good age for me and treated me well..and for that, I thank you! :)

disturbing!

I got this e-mail from my Aunt today, and Bryan's always paranoid about this. I normally brush him off, but after seeing this video today, I am officially freaked out! Watch it for yourself and see what I'm talking about! I'll never use my cell phone the same again!!

They have finally arrived!!

And by "they" I mean our BRAND NEW HOUSE PICTURES!! Yes, ladies and gents we F-I-N-A-L-L-Y were able to close on our house last Thursday, April 16th! It has been such a long, stressful process getting here (but from what I hear from other homeowners who's isn't?:) but we completely know that this is the house God meant for us to have! :) We're so excited!

You may look at all of the pictures of our brand new house here if you haven't seen them on Facebook already. Sorry I didn't upload any on here...there were just WAY too many!

So our plan now is to repaint the whole inside of our house...yipee! Bryan will move in at the end of May when he gets out of school and comes to Texas, then I'll move in after the wedding!

Whoo hoo! It's all coming together..slowly but surely. Thank you Jesus for being our protector and provider! We are blessed.

The most amazing man!

I had to get on here and brag about my baby. You'll have to go and read this post he wrote this morning to see why. It's easy to see why I love this man so much! Only 79 more days!!!
