The song: This is amazing!
Jonathan and I had our engagement pictures taken on Tuesday. As you all know, we were supposed to have them taken at Sarge Frye. I called to ask permission and everything. When we arrived the parking lot was packed, and I knew right away that it wasn’t a good sign. I walked up the field to see what was going on and there was a tournament going on– go Figure! So, plan B was to go to the horseshoe on USC’s campus to get them taken. Well, that’s where we ended up! Here are a few of my favorites. I will get the rest back in a week or so. For now, I will leave you with these two. Also, you can see a few others here.
Today is going to be a fun day!! I can’t wait!! First of all, I have the day off which can make any day great. This morning, I’m going to be my haircut at Stella Nova. I will also be talking to them about doing my hair for the wedding. Then its off to lunch with a friend of mine, I’m not sure where we are going but I’m sure it will be a good time. Afterwards, I get to go pick up my wedding dress!! The scary problem with that is Jonathan is living at my parent’s house now. So, I have already told him he can’t be there today when I bring it home. I don’t want to take any chances of him even getting a peek. This afternoon we are going to Columbia to get our engagement pictures taken! Also in Columbia, we are going to visit my friend Rachel and meet baby Caleb. Well, I don’t want to spend anymore time typing, I will post some engagement pictures as soon as possible.
Only 198 days to go until the wedding!! Not that I’m counting or anything. HA! Please be praying for Jonathan and I as the day gets closer. We still have a lot of things up in the air like my job, seminary, etc. We are trusting in the Lord and know that He will provide for us! Pray that we will be obedient and follow his direction.
I got my dress fitted last Wednesday at the bridal shop, and yesterday morning they called to tell me it was ready. I have to say I am a little surprised because I thought it would take much longer than it did. I was originally supposed to go back on the 18th of June, but it’s ready, WOW! I hope that’s not a bad thing! Anyway, I’m going to think positive! Next Tuesday, we have our engagement session at Sarge Frye, the baseball stadium at Carolina. I am really excited about it because I think its going to be so much fun! I will post some of the pictures as soon as I get them back from Brooke, our photographer!
As most of you know, I am finishing up my MBA this summer. I am taking two classes on-line, one is an elective and the other is a required course. The problem with the classes is the amount of the work that is required each Sunday is absolutely absurd. I probably spend at least two or three hours a night doing homework. These classes are intended for people who are also working full-time jobs and most have families. The worst part is the professor is a Baptist pastor in Hampton, SC yet he is so ruthless with the assignments and the comments he leaves, it really makes me think. I’m telling you all this to say, I have the greatest fiance in the entire world. Last night, he really showed me how excellent of a husband he is going to be. I was so frustrated with the amount of work I still had left at 10pm, he looked me in the eye and said “We have to share our burdens, so let me help you with your work.” I was so surprised, yet extremely grateful at his offer. I fell even more in love with him (I know I didn’t think it was possible either) than ever.
Now girls, I just want you to take note, that I did indeed end up with the greatest man in the entire world. That is all..
