Hello Everybody! I am quite new to the entire blogging scene, but i'm raring and ready to go at it. Although it does open you up to anybody and everybody...those details will be out soon enough, and the more the merrier I say! Stick with me on my journey as I prepare to marry Joey, AKA My Hombrecito (little man). :)
Where do you begin when you start planning for forever? I don't know about you, but the way I had planned "planning for my wedding" in my head, isn't how it's happened at all! But i'm quite happy about that, after all, what fun would it be if you knew how to do everything already? Too easy! (but i really could use some more of that easyness :) What's a girl to do when she has no idea where to begin?
It started with crying my eyes out into my pillow and eating chocolate. That's usually the way we girls solve life's most important problems (and really huge exciting events!). :) Then, I realized that the entire "planning your own wedding" idea wasn't as huge as I made it out to be, it was simply media. Ha! And media does not fool me! I backtracked and found my Bible and read some really awesome stories of courage and resilence in the face of some really daunting things, and realizing that everything isn't in my control, but in God's, really made me cheerful. Goodness! A wedding isn't supposed to be SAD!!!! But as emotions go, we girls are blessed with extra (are we ever!) and its still quite difficult for me to learn to trust sometimes. So I'll put that on my to-do list.
To Do:
#1. Learn to trust and drink large cups of tea, all the while watching Gilmore Girl re-runs.
With that aside, Joey and I are on the freeway to one of the most exciting and crazy times of our lives! We are super excited and so glad that you are coming along for the ride! Engagement pictures should be taken this week sometime, so I'll stick those up when we get them! I can't wait! I've been saving up billions and billions of poses for us to do. Poor Joey! And poor poor photographer! What an amazing life this is!

Read On!
Joey is now working at an awesome store in our local mall: Merlo's Cutlery. He has a rockin' time sword-fighting with himself and trying to become a Cold Steel champion. Although his current reachable dream is to find a full-time city job, he's gotten as far as the applying, city test, and passing grade, so he's hoping now to be in the top minority for an interview. Pray for that one! If you're not sure what a cold steel champion is, you might want to check out their website: www.coldsteel.com. It's awesome because he can even do his homework there if he wanted...except he's only working this semester and not going to school. :)This is almost exactly what his job looks like:
We're still up in the air on the date...and completely enjoying the engagement! It really is a lovely time...learning more about each other spiritually and encouraging each other every day. God is good! We couldn't be happier...unless we were married ;)!! Basically what it comes down to is, waiting on God's perfect timing which includes good, reliable jobs for both of us that will help support our life and our goals. We are so excited, yet perfectly content to wait on God and what he desires for us. We just learned those lessons these past few months. Jumping ahead isn't always the best, but amazingly it's all turned out okay as we continue to learn and grow together. Join us! We'd love to have you along on this awesome journey (except I must say that you'll have to stay behind on the honeymoon...sorry!:)
