|  I Googled myself today and found this gem from 5 years ago! I'm happy to report that we are still married and still super happy! I felt inspired to write a blog entry so I wouldn't forget the small things at this point in our lives. rn

rn Jeff is still super sweet. He makes me coffee mixed with half a lean shake each morning. He's so careful to take care of me by doing the little things like this. This past week he had marked on his Bible app that "a wife is more precious than rubies." How sweet is that?! We still go on dates, still would rather be with each other than anything else, and still love jesus. rn

So I have a cute story to share. Jeffy was talking with his little niece Taylor and she begins to tell him about what a great flower girl she was in a wedding and that she would love to be in the wedding. I thought it was so cute!
Why cant we all be like a little kid when it comes to Jesus and just ask. Most of us are content to sit on the sidelines and watch. By sitting on the sidelines though, sometimes you miss out on the best part....doing. Taylor inspires me because sometimes when we go to church or just in our day to day with God, we are content to just sit back and watch. Instead we need to be like Taylor and ask. Ask what we want of God the father and he may look at us with a smile and a joyful heart and say, "O yes, sweet girl... you definitely can be in it." Maybe just maybe he has crazy blessings for us if we will just simply ask. Why are we content? Do we not feel worthy at times? Do we see that many need miracles and blessings more than us? Why not just ask?! See we serve a really big God. He absolutely can multitask and has way more than 1 miracle per day to give out. He craves us to just ask. He longs for us to just say, "Dad, can I be in the wedding?!"
Love this... love it.
Im so excited I could about squeal!!!!! So tell me, should I change my last name? Keep in mind it will be both me and Kaeden lynn if we do. Text me! 6068132730
LOVE YOU GUYS! ps. Table cloths are in! I start tanning today. Trust me, you do not want to see the hot mess that I become if I spray on tan... O lord, my ladies at work could tell you it looks like Ive dipped myself in a bag of cheetos. :)
So the jitters are gone, and I am so excited! It occurred to me today that the devil has come to kill, steal and to destroy. Guess what? I was totally allowing the enemy to steal my excitedness and happy when associated with the wedding and with the new house. He was trying to destroy my peace and the peace of those around me. Stress is just a distraction. Fear is just a distraction. At the end of the day, I have decided that come hell or high water, I am not going to allow the devil to steal this special time and joy away from me! Lots on my plate.... so what Im a strong woman and have an amazing support in my mom and Jeff. Stressed about the house? So what! God is in control and I am his child. I encourage everyone to really take a step back and evaluate:"What is the devil trying to steal, kill or destroy in my life?" I guarantee that if he is not, there is something wrong and you are playing on the wrong team. Then resolve in your heart and mind that you are going to stomp your foot at him and say, NO! This is a once in a lifetime wedding opportunity.... I will be joyful and happy and not stressed! Hallelujah that we serve The Prince of Peace!
The ring is being ordered today for Jeff. Trying to seek God as to the inscriptioin. On another note, received a phone call from European Bridal in Cincinnati today that my dress is arrived and I must pick it up! Its pretty exciting and mind blowing that in just 34 days, I will be married. Strange how God directs our lives if we let Him into the things He wants. When we surrender that control, it is better than we ever could have planned ourselves. So im spending the day arranging appointments for fittings/alterations and ring pick up. Wanting to go to a beach but Jeff is not budging on no vacation this year. lol God is good... all the time. We just forget.
