First Timer

This is my first official post on my brand new blog! It took me a while to get into the blogging world but I finally made it. In case you haven't kept up with me, which means that I haven't kept up with you either, a lot has happened recently. 2007 has definitely been an eventful year, and we are barely into May! In January I had ACL surgery on my left knee, one week before my 25th birthday and 9 weeks before my wedding. I was out of work (nurse at ARMC) for a month and a half and wearing a massive leg brace that looked like it belonged to a football player. During the those 9 weeks before my wedding, I had 7 wedding showers and a bridal luncheon. I moved from one house to the house we live in now over a period of 2 months; I hate moving. Through all of this busyness and change the Lord has been so faithful, calming, and near to me. He has truly carried me and my burdens close to Him. The big day came and went perfectly. I couldn't have dreamed it would turn out so beautiful and so perfect. And that continues to be the theme of my life right now. Maybe not perfect, but really close and definitely the most beautiful I have ever lived. Sometimes I look around and think, "Is this really my life?" I love being married, I love our life together, I love the places God has brought me into and the places He has brought me out of, and the places I cannot begin to dream He is taking us. Life is great. I am redeemed.
