Some updates on my life recently! Kelli is getting married in 19 days!! It is coming up so fast! We have got most of the planning all done. Just those few last minuet details that can only be finished a few days before the wedding. We are praying for good weather as the wedding is outside. It can rain after that, because the reception is inside. We are having my Grandma, my Uncle and Aunt and their two children, and a good friend or ours stay here after the wedding. Hopefully we'll have room for them all! It should be a joyous time though. We haven't seen our Uncle and his family for awhile, so that will be nice.
Our great Aunt died a few days ago and we are unsure if she was saved. The funeral is tomorrow in the cities. Hopefully, the traffic won't be bad and will have a good time celebrating her life.
Our dog, Angel, is due to have puppies about a week after the wedding. Hopefully, she won't deliver early!!
School is starting. Yay! My last year! I'm excited, yet a little uneasy, as I am starting a new chapter in my life that will be different. I'm really excited for this school year. We are doing a whole bunch of different things.
Well, that's a short update on what's been going on in my life. I will post pictures of the wedding and rehearsal and all that good stuff as soon as I can!
God Bless!!

Learning in Disappointments
Learning to take disappointments knowing that God has a plan is something I have recently learned. Just because the circumstance doesn’t seem good to you at the time, doesn’t mean it won’t work out for good.
We were on our way to a friend’s house that we haven’t seen in a while; when my Dad got a call from work reporting that there was a leak that needed his attention immediately. Earlier, before we left, there was a bat that he had to go and take care of (if you know what I mean; o). So, we were already behind schedule with that going on, and then having to turn around half way there was disappointing and frustrating. I didn’t handle it the way I should have. But, the Lord has taught me through this trial of what good can come of it. He has already showed me the purpose of this small trial. He has showed me what I need to work on. To not let the little things in life get I all “flustered.” To realize that “all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.”
I am so thankful that I have such loving and understanding parents who see me through when I am struggling and are always there to give me their wise council.
