Crazy busy...the life of a future bride!

So, exciting news, I believe we have found a place to get married!!

Mom, dad, corey and me went to look at it last weekend. It was quiet affordable and just down right perfect.

Cor and I both loved it. For one it reminded us both of home, and me it reminded me of my grandparents. It was beautiful. We're going to look at it again with our wedding planner and my family friend on Tuesday.

Other than that wedding planning is going slowly, but we are still slowly fitting the pieces together. I mean we have over a year to get this thing done.

Corey has been in Vegas for the past 4 days for a friends 21st birthday. It's been pretty lonely without him here, and I've had to learn to stick up for myself at work. :) I do get picked on quiet a lot.

Work has been rather exciting. I had to do audio for a whole week. I wanted to call in the second day because it scared me so bad. It's very nerve racking to do something that you've never done before. Oh well, baptized in fire as WCYB employees like to call it.

God is continuously blessing me day by day. My boss told me that I could start coming in early on the weekends to learn more about directing. I'm super excited about it, but rather tired from this past weekend. Getting up at 5 just isn't something my body is ready for. As many of you know, directing is my passion and I know that God is working in this situation.

But let me talk a little bit about what I've noticed God doing with me. I'm beginning to understand that love or rather being nice to someone is better than ignoring them or even hating them. God is slowly molding me into a forgiveness stage. I have this problem with holding things in, not being able to forgive certain people, feeling angry because someone might have taken something that I wanted. I push those people away, and in all honesty I don't care if I hurt their feelings. But lately I've noticed that God is making me humble. At first I tried to get away from it. I would question him, "God, really, come on, you know what this person did to me, you know that I'm angry." But he kept pushing me too. Showing me that loving someone is more important than holding a grudge.

And for those of you who know me, being nice to someone is a whole different definition than the actual word nice. If I like you, I'm going to pick on you so bad, and give you the hardest time of your life, but remember I love you way more than you could imagine.

It's funny how God works.

Back to being random and talking about weddings. I still need a photographer. A real one! I need a catering company. I think that's it for the big items. If you have any suggestions or ideas just let me know!
