I Got a Dress!

I want Michael to be surprised when he sees me walk down the aisle, so I can't give you the details. It is beautiful though!

Mom, Rebekah, and Aunt Marilyn went dress shopping with me. When they saw me try this one on, you could tell by the looks on their faces that they loved it! They knew it was the one! Funny thing was, I wasn't originally convinced that this was the one! I went to try on several other dresses before I came back and got this one! Now, I am so excited to wear it on that special day!

Just wondering...
Why is it that we brides only get to wear these dresses once?

A New Phase

After battling with the thoughts in my head and heart for two weeks, I gave my resignation today at Christian Academy of Indiana. I have enjoyed the past three years of teaching kindergarten, but feel that God has called me to a new phase in my life. It was a bittersweet moment, but I confidently and peacefully told my principal and fellow faculty members that I was not planning to teach in the fall and was "going to be a wife."

I am grateful for the many encouraging friends and the prayers that have been offered for us. God made it very clear to me that He has given me this wonderful husband and I need to make it a priority to help him and build our marriage on a great foundation.

We are so excited about this opportunity and are looking forward to our future together!
