---- Wait a second, I'm here aren't I? So why not believe it! It's not really a matter of I don't believe it - that's just an expression, but it blows my mind completely that I have made it to 19, engaged, licensed to drive, working, in college, and all at the same time! Haha. But really, I used to dream about this when I was 7 and now it's finally here!
To say the least, my life is good and God has blessed me beyond measure. What a great God I serve. He has blessed me with many things that I will never forget.
And so I don't forget them, I will share them with you.
Four years ago on November 5th is when Thomas and I were at his house baking lemon pies with his mom, telling each other that we liked each other, and then watching the movie Signs (His favorite movie at the time) drinking cherry lemon sundrop. Holding hands until the end of the movie to find that our hands were numb.
November 5th, 2010, four years later, Thomas and I celebrated God taking care of us and strengthening our relationship through trials and tribulations, and blessings too. Little did we know on that cloudy and cold day that we would be getting married four years and about two months later.
We celebrated with a lovely dinner, and Thomas brought me some beautiful red roses, chocolates from his mother, and a beautiful poem he wrote himself. He made four little napkin roses and taped them to the poem. He taped four on there because it was our fourth anniversary. What a sweet man!
I cooked dinner; there was steak and sauteed mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Crab cakes, a loaf of italian bread, and stuffed mushroom caps. It was very fancy! And very tasty too. We had a wonderful evening together sitting at a candlelit table with the beautiful flowers as our centerpiece reminiscing about our relationship history and what will happen in the future.
Our dessert was a cinnamon roll cheesecake and it was nothing but delectable.
After eating plenty of the dessert, we went out for a walk, a very LONG walk actually.
We ended up having a great night counting blessings and realizing how gracious God is to us again and again.
Rewind even more:
The past two weeks I have been able to have some great times with the girls I babysit, Madison and Meredith. They were out of school and I was asked to babysit them all day. I picked them up from their early release at school at 11:45 and we drove back over to their house. I asked them if they wanted to do a "fashion shoot" because I had brought my camera with me, so we picked out some "fall themed outfits" from their closets and went outside! I ended up with some great photos and these are some of my favorites:
Even though Madison towards the end became grouchy and moody we still ended up with great pictures. They had fun too!
A week after that I had to babysit them again except it was for an actual full day, 8:00-5:30.
Meredith was right there to greet me, bright eyed and bushy tailed as my dad used to call us when we were awake early in the morning. We woke Madi up so that we could talk about what fun stuff to do that day. That was the day we went to Davids Bridal and picked out their flowergirl dresses for my wedding day. They had a lot of fun trying on all the different dresses they had. They ended up picking two different dresses, they look beautiful in them!
The night that their family drove down to David's Bridal to order the dresses was the same night as Thomas and I's anniversary. They called me while I was cooking, and their mom said that the computers at the store were down so they couldn't pull up the style of dresses the girls picked out so they went to the rack to find them instead. Apparently Madi couldn't remember what dress she had picked out to wear, and when she saw the one that she DID pick out she said she no longer liked it and wanted a different one. Typical girl. Typical Madi. I told their mom that I didn't mind if she picked another dress because I liked them all.
I guess I will find out tomorrow whether or not she ended up with the same dress.
All in all November has been a good month so far, productive and fun too. Thomas and I went to the UNC Charlotte Movie Theater and saw Inception. It was great, and we had fun together.
This week seems kind of busy, there's a lot of school work I want to get done - and there's a lot that I NEED to get done. Thankfully I have been able to keep up well in my classes this semester.
In fact, reading is what I should be doing right now. So my blogging ends here so that I can finish my chapter in Psychology.
