good friends, good memories!

This past saturday David came down to Riverside for his last visit before making his official move to arkansas on Wednesday. We spent the evening with our wonderful friends Kyle and Malorie in our wonderful tradition of double date at Olive Garden night! We always have such a great time with them and it was a fun evening of good food and good laughs. But don't worry Olive Garden, this isn't the last you've seen of us... we love you too much!

has it really been 6 months??

I can't believe that it has been 6 months since the last time I blogged! Sadly, this is just one thing that shows how wrapped up in myself I have become and am currently striving to prioritize my life so that Christ is my main focus and my motivation for everything in my life. Many, many things have happened in the last 6 months here are just a few:

I turned 28 this year... yes, i can't believe my late 20's will be coming to a close in a short year and a half!! but I like this age. I am comfortable and content at this age and i'm not sure what 28 is supposed to feel like, but i definitely do like it! This year I got to go to disneyland for my birthday! it was one of the best birthdays i've had in a long time!
let's see what else...

I started dating this wonderful guy.
but if you've seen my facebook you already knew that. :-)
God has blessed me with David. We have quite the journey ahead of us as he has taken a position as Minister of worship at First Baptist Church of Clarksville, Arkansas. Yes, you read that correctly. He is moving to arkansas! He is very excited to be able to serve at great church and do what he loves to do so much (that would be music, he is extremely talented). I am very excited to see this unfold in his life. It will be very hard to be so far away from him, but no matter what comes our way we pray that God will be most glorified! Please keep us in your prayers!

Another major event of the past 6 months was graduating from college. For those of you who know me, also know that school has been a very long on and off journey, very much a love/hate relationship. But I finally was able to finish up this chapter in my life. I have a feeling that school is far from over for me... more on that later. graduation was a wonderful day. I had my family and wonderful friends here to celebrate with me and I was most thankful for all of their support!

I was also able to do some really fun things this summer. Two of my favorites were going to a couple of concerts with Nikki.
We got to see Coldplay in ivrine... which was AMAZING!

We also went to see Kings of Leon... twice... back to back. They were really great nights, and awesome concerts!


All in all, these past 6 months have been filled with good memories with our amazing friends and necessary trials that motivate a crucial communication with God. God in all of his grace and mercy is working on my heart to change me so I can grow to become more of the woman he has called me to be. I am excited and challenged as we enter the last few months of this year to really strive for godliness and seek his wisdom.
