This week has been amazing! Started out the best way it could...at the cottage in Traverse City. Ben and i were up there for the weekend and then had to come home sunday night so that I could work this week. Which leads into the other awesome part of the week I actually have massages!!! After a week of none i have 4 of them, had five but the man had to reschedule which actually worked better for me since Ben and I are leaving thursday after my massages and he was the last client. Also Ben got a call yesterday from Saint Maries offering him another position in addition to the one he has now, so instead of working 20 hours a week in one job he is going to be doing fourty a week(hopefully) between the two. Also he was informed that he will be getting a raise. The Lord is definitely working over time for us right now!
And the Best part is we get to go back up to traverse city on thursday and stay until-at this point-wednesday. Oh Heaven on earth here we come!!!!
Another bright spot in my week was I hung out with racine for most of the day yesterday-she helped me do the dreaded suit shopping i was fretting over- we went to lunch and had coffee at her place. I'm so excited to have such wonderful neighbors and I'm more excited for the addition to their house hold.
Well i'm rambling now but I just had to tell the whole world(or possibly the handful of people who read this) that GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been a while eh?
So it has been quite a while since my last post, and quite a lot has changed. The wedding was a dream and the honey moon was a blast and now it's back to my altered reality living on mountain ash.
Things for me are great, I'm terribly in love with my husband and found a new love to bring to my life, reading.
My days get to be rather long seeing as work is incredibly slow during the summer for me-i putz around the house, doing laundry or cleaning up the house, or doing the dishes(no dishwasher=annoying) so reading has really saved me!
I found a new series that i really like-the twilight series by stephanie meyer-Ben is reading it too and it's a perfect escape.
Other than that there really isn't much going on with me. I've been baking a lot and trying some new recipes but i have recently discovered that I despise cooking for two!!!! I would rather feed 4-6 people...those are the meals i like to cook! notso much clean up after but hey.
This past weekend has been kind of a sereal weekend for me- it was three years on sunday that my brother left us and went home, my mom dad sister sara ben and i all hung out togather. ben and i joined my parents for church which was actually something i was dreading, i hate crying in church and on that particular day it was pretty much a gaurentee but the Lord knew what we could handle and it was a message on marriage instead so none of the key crying songs were played and the sermon was easy on us all. After church we headed out to Grand Haven and had a wonderful day eating and playing on the beach-the waves were HUGE!!! After GH we all went to my parents house including my sister amanda and her family and had dinner and what not and then my parents and the two of us went to the cemetary....cue the water works.
This coming weekend promises to be an emotional rollercoaster as well as we go up to Lake Leelanau. It is the most looked forward to two weeks our family spends togather but it was also matts absolute favorite place...lots of memories.
ANY WAY...........
This week ben and i are kind of on pins and needles, we are expecting to hear back about his interview some thime soon.
Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!

about that time
I want to go back to Florida so bad. And i want ice cream right now. ANY WAY..................
lot going on right now! Throughout the week i've slowly been moving into my new place. Our mattress gets delivered saturday and i think that will be my first night there. Exactly two weeks from today is the wedding-it doesn't feel real right now.
This week was super slow as far as work goes but i guess that's ok, I got to work on the programs and ect for the wedding, plus yesterday i was kinda sick so it was ok to have a slow day.
I need to start tanning soon- not to get the fake nasty tan but just so i don't match my dress.
I'm so excited! I checked our registery-yea i know your not supposed too-and we got our kitchenaid mixer!!!!! that like 300 bucks!
Someone must love us.
Well off to do my tasks.

just another saturday
Oh what I wouldn't give for a nice hotel room right now! A nice quiet hotel room with a comfortable bed, big jacuzzi tub, and some piece and quiet! Maybe then i could get some sleep.
Unfortunetly that won't be happening any time soon. Oh well.
Running off very little sleep and babysitting my sisters three kids equals a pretty decent head ache and a wave of exhaustion. Lauren is in the tattle tale faze and also has no desire to be independent even though she'll be four in august- doesn't want to put her shoes on, dress herself or anything. Morgan is super sensitive and super tired pretty much all of the time. If the littlest thing happens she goes into panic mode screaming and crying over the littlest things-for instance waking up her mother(as well as her siblings) with a blood curddling scream at three oclock in the morning because all her blankets had fallen off and onto the ground. Ryer is a typical lil boy, very curiouse and very loud. He'll be a year the end of may and is very busy exploring his new world. that's not so bad- just tiring. His problem is he is so loud. When he is happy he shrieks so loud it puts his sisters to shame, when he is upset he screams pretty much just as loud.
BUT despite all that i still love them-even with all their stalling, yelling, screaming, fighting, and stubborness.... I love them to pieces.
Well it's about time to close up shop for their lunch and start the battle of nap time- hopefully putting the girls down for naps won't wake up their brother in the process.
27 days until the wedding. can't wait.

Most fun i've had
Yesterday was pretty dandy. I had three massages which is always a plus and talked to my boss about working everyday once i'm married. God willing I can do only massage(that's kinda my dream)
After that I went to target to kill time before meeting with my uncle(the minister who will marry us) I ran into an old old friend at target-about gave me a heart attack! He is doing well and shock of all shocks he's also engaged. Then went to panera for our meeting and then sarah called. we decided drinks sounded nice-i had a bathing suit to show her and she had a project to show me so we decided to go to her house instead of out. Josh called and him and sunshine wanted us to meet them at the lounge so we water bottled our beverage and headed over. The lounge was fine but i'm really not that into hookah so it was kinda boring we decided to run to peppinos for college night but were thwarted as we had two minors with us and they weren't letting any in at that point. boo. so we halled tale-in the rain/sleet mind you-back to sarah's car and went to shoot pool at the pub. I got home about two thirty this morning. It was a ton of fun! just made me realize i don't do enough fun things lately. it's all work be it for doc., escape, or the wedding. So i have come to the conclusion i need to have more fun.
that is all

Busy stuff
Busy Busy Busy. And yet not at all.....how does that work? Today I did the unthinkable- I went through all my clothes and got rid of most of them....at least that's the idea. I priced over half of my wardrobe with those fun little garage sale stickers and put them in storage until our garage sale on thursday of next week. It felt so good to get rid of it! or at least get it out of my closet. Also i've been slowly building up my wardrobe with "adult" clothes, It's so exciting and it helps bring into perspective that i'm not going to be living here much longer and dum dum dum I'm getting married!
Now I have to slowly start packing for the new appartment and the honeymoon.
Massage is going pretty well, i had four massages on monday-and shock of all shocks they all tipped! Two massages tomorrow and one on friday. I also got offered a 'gig' at grand valley as a gift to the students. chair massage for two hours or something. GOD PROVIDES!!!!!
If i make it into your prayers at all just please pray for continued bussiness for me, getting married definitely comes with a rather large price tag.
well i guess that's it.

Nothing new
Holy bat snikeis bat man....I'M WHIPPED. I have been flying around all day/week and it's finally caught up to me.
In other news....I can't wait to move into the duplex and out of my parents house. Don't get me wrong, I love them and what not but it's just way past time. but unfortunately my mother doesn't want me moving out and expressed this to my aunt who in turn mentioned it to my uncle who is now my land lord-which means; I won't be moving in until the first of may. Oh well that's one month of rent that i don't have to pay i guess. and lucky for us we don't have to pay mays rent either-just the 600 dollar deposit.
Well my higher level of brain functioning is slowly shutting down so i think i'm going to find me some sleep....at 8:50 pm-dare to dream!
