Something to smile about


I have an official honeymoon booked! Yes, that's right, thanks to my good travel agent, Georgia, I put down a deposit a few weeks ago! This is by far the thing I am most excited about, and most likely the thing I will stay most excited about. I just really can't imagine anything better, than to be able to go away for 7 days with my "wife" (still crazy to think about) just the 2 of us!! Right now we have all of this crazy, crazy, craziness....and then all at once on March 3rd....everything will just stop. We'll get to be with all of our closest friends and family on our wedding day, then we go on this awesome pampering honeymoon together, and then we get to go home and live together and all the craziness will stop! School will finally be over! No more tests, classes, studying, or homework. My job will finally be over (for a little while at least)! No more long distance! It's like all of this hard work will finally pay off HUGE and come to an end all at once. It's just so weird that it will be from literally one extreme to the other. It's just too much to imagine or take in right now. I'm deff. most excited that I'll get to see Cristin every single day for the rest of my life. no more 4 hours between us. I'll get to wake up every single morning for the rest of my life and she'll be the first thing I'll see. I can't imagine anything more perfectly beautiful in every way, here on earth. It's just the coolest thing to get to marry your best friend. I get to spend every single day of my life with her and just go through life together. Cristin is just this really cool girl....I really don't know many people cooler than her. She's funny, she's fun, she's gorgeous, she's exciting to be with, I've never had more fun with any one person in my entire life...not even a group of people for that matter. I've never had someone that I've cried all night with because we were laughing so hard, and woke up the next morning sore because of it. I've also never known anyone more personable, and outgoing than her. She's so amazing with all kinds of people and children. She's also hands down, got the sweetest heart that I have ever known. She's constantly wanting what's good and what's best for everyone around her, and what's going to make everyone else happy, way before she even considers herself. She's has an amazing view on spiritual things and this is one of my favorite things about her. She lives it so much and is constantly an example for those around her. She's so clear headed and it's the most amazing thing to connect with someone for once in my life and know what we want to do with our lives once we are married, and being ready for God to use us in every way possible indefinitely. It's amazing to have someone who challenges me everyday with the way that she lives. I made a book for Cristin when we got engaged, it was something I'd write in every night before I went to bed for months, explaining all the lies I had to tell her during the engagement process, everything I was doing every day, all my feelings, reasons why I love her, prayers, special verses, etc etc. But on the very first page I wrote 'God is the perfect matchmaker.' And that is the most amazing thing to me that God blessed me beyond anything I could ever imagine, and set the 2 of us up. Nothing could make me feel more excited than that. I know I don't deserve her, but I can't wait to spend every single day trying to take care of her and make her as happy as she does me. I could go on and on for pages....haha and this sure didn't mean to turn out to be an ode to Cristin....but having all the blessings that I do and knowing how even more amazing things are going to be for me in a couple months from now, just makes every stress and sweat worth it. But things are already so great, I just can't imagine how it's going to be. Can anyone tell I'm excited?

My So Called Life


That’s right it’s been about 6 months since my last posting (and just so I can get back on Ashley’s list, and stop getting harrased) I have a brand new blog today for your reading pleasure. I know, I know, I have been such a loser the last couple of months and have been depriving millions of readers from around the world of postings that inspire, make you laugh, and bring even the strongest man to his knees in tears. Well let me tell you things have been crazy. My life is one big crazy mess – I’m always on the go, and always having to accomplish something. I wake up before 7:00 every morning, start studying because my classes get very intense at times, then off to work I go for the day, then I come home and get about another hour of studying in before classes starts at 6:00 p.m. then I usually take a test every time we meet for class so that’s always stressful, and then we lecture until 10:15 at night. I come home, go to bed, and do it all over again the next day. I often times might work on the weekends or go to school on Saturdays. Looking back to just a year ago, many have asked what kind of ‘religious experience’ I have had. My life has made a complete 182 degree turn (heh…heh…) and headed for the opposite direction. I can’t even remember what it must have been like to do things such as sleep late, watch tv, skip class, and just be care free. I uprooted from everything I had ever known for the past 5 years of my life, moved to a new city, made new friends, enrolled in a new college, have been on the presidents list for the past 3 semesters in a row, got a brand new job, and the biggest and most important thing of all, I now have Cristin. Which that last thing makes it all worth while. But, Cristin and I are long distance, which means a lot of time on the road, crazy hectic weekends, now the biggest thing is trying to plan this wedding long distance. It’s crazy. We are definitely 2 people on the go. But every min. is worth it. And as crazy as things get at times, I have to be reminded never to complain. Just as I start growing tired I realize, God has given me so many blessings, things that most people will never get to experience. Family, School, Friends, Money, Health, more material things than I will ever need, a hot body, good looks, charm, charisma, a smoken hot wife, I mean God really gave me the hook up. Ok ALL jokes aside, seriously, I am very blessed and know I don’t deserve a bit of it. But things have been hectic….but it’s awesome all at the same time. I have gone through so many changes over the past couple of years, learned so many things, grown a ton, and I’m loving life. It’s crazy how God has this elaborate plan for your life, and as bad as you want to know it, you never will until it happens, and you just have to have faith and know He’s going to take great care of you, and I’ve learned that being taken care of by God, is better than anything we could ever imagine. In the middle of all the chaos of this big life changing step, I have never been more positive, sure, or at total peace about anything in my 23 years of living. It’s impossible to even pretend to take in. So things honestly, have never been better.
