So here I am, months and months since I have posted. "I'm going to try to be better about this" lol. That certainly didn't happen! But oh well I'm here now!
I'm MARRIED!!!! How crazy is that?! Whitfield asked me to marry him on the 12th of February and we got married on the 8th of May, not even three months from the engagement date!
It was a beautiful wedding and everything I could have imagined and I am having the time of my life being married to the man of my dreams!
Whitfield is everything I've ever wanted, and he is so supportive and understanding. He is a great leader and he is honest and strong.
So enough of all that mushy stuff, here's some details.
One of my friends asked if Whit and I had somewhere to live and offered to let us rent a small trailer less than 5 miles from both my parents' house and our school, for an excellent price, with one small catch, it was to be renovated. It isn't finished yet, but we've been living in a renovated garage apartment which is TINY. We've made it pretty comfy, and are enjoying being together but both of us and our landlord cannot wait for the trailer to be finished! It's got some drywall to go up, painting to be done, and carpet to be put down and then we can move in!!!
Until then, we're truly grateful for a roof over our heads. Although the inch-long scorpions, HUGE spiders, and bugs are driving me insane....
But we have a bathroom, a kitchen with a stovetop for cooking, a fantastic window A/C unit, and enough space for the few furniture items we have.
And we get to be together! Which is the best part!
I've got a part-time job with a friend of the family cleaning HUGE houses in a fancy neighborhood and Whitfield has been blessed at his work with lots of hours and good sales (he works at Radioshack).
WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED BY GOD and that is the bottom line. God has provided us with a roof over our heads, enough work and money to put some away and pay our bills, and a great support system of family and friends who keep up with us and help us out if we need it!
I'm so very grateful.
So some more recent news, I am cooking pretty much every night and enjoying it! I've got some good meals under my belt and have only burned one dish! Which Whitfield was gracious enough to eat anyway and told me it wasn't that bad. What a sweetheart:)
Today we sat and watched some netflix over the xbox 360 hooked up to wifi, and then Whit went to work. While he was gone, I washed the dishes and started watching season 4 of The Hills, which is one of my new favorite shows! I don't really know why I like it so much, but I do.
And then I went out for a run with Whit and my puppy Penny! She's a Jack Russell Terrier mix we rescued from the local shelter about three weeks ago, and I figured she'd appreciate getting some energy out!
It was fun and I liked getting to work out again. I have missed it!
And so that is what is going on right now!
