So it's been a really long time since I've update and a lot has happened!!
The most recent thing is I got a new job. I have hated my job for quit some time so I finally had enough and quit. I start my new job on May 5th at Giles Enterprises. I will be working doing office work and working with the marketing department. It seems like a good job and the people seem super nice!!! It really works out well because my last day here is April 30th so I'll have a few days to rest before starting the new job!
Kevin and I are looking for a house. We've been looking for many months now and we continue to look. I think we've decided to look for an older house that we can put some work into and make it have some charm and character. We'll see how it goes though.
Life is pretty good right now. I have the best husband and friends a person can ask for. There are some people out there though that I worry about and wonder if they truly see how they treat the people they call "friends." But that's a personal matter and not meant for this blog.
Yesterday wasn't a good day for me at work, I just got stressed out about some things. When I went home I cooked dinner for my husband, we ate, and I was cleaning up the kitchen when we asked me to stop and go take a bath. He had ran me a hot bath and put candles in the bathroom and let me go relax while he finished cleaning up! I have the best husband a person could ever want. He's so thoughtful!
SO Kevin and I had a GREAT first Christmas married! We spent lots of time with our families, but the best was when we exchanged gifts and spent Christmas Eve day together. It was fun just to watch a movie and open gifts and such. It's been so crazy since we've gotten married with the holidays and such that it's so nice just to spend time with each other. Sunday night we went to dinner and a movie just the two of us. I can't tell you when the last time was we did that. We saw I am Legend...it was a very good movie! It was fun doing something we don't normally get to do. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband!
On another note, Kevin and I are officially looking for a house! We're very excited but nervous about the whole process. We want to stay in this general area, but we'll just have to see what becomes available. I can't wait to have a house of my own!!!!
So now I'm married. I've been married a week and a half and I really like it so far. we've had fun getting used to living together and doing things together. he's a great husband. he cooked dinner for me and cleaned the kitchen up last night, while I laid around watching TV. he really is thoughtful and he's making the transition on me as easy as possible. I'm very lucky!! We had a fabulous trip to Seattle for our honeymoon. The weather was great and it was so nice to just relax and not be on a schedule!
So I'm now just three weeks away from the biggest day of my life. The plans have been made, the money has been paid, and now all I have to do is get married right? Wrong! I never knew that change could be so scary. I guess this change is so scary because I've had over a year to think about it, and it lasts FOREVER! Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited to marry Kevin, and he's the only one for me, and I know we're making the right decision, but there's always apprehension before making a big leap of faith like this one. And that's exactly what it is, a leap of faith. I must have faith that Kevin will be a good husband, and I must have faith that if we put God first we'll make it through anything, and I must have faith that our love with last FOREVER. I do have faith in all of those things, but there is still that lump in my throat and that realization that I Brittany Marie Raines, will be Mrs. Brittany Harris in 3 weeks. That's alot of change! Plus I am moving out of my house, the only home I've ever known and moving in with a boy. I think that part scares me the most. I am so excited that it is only 3 weeks away, but there is also nervousness and scared all balled up inside of me. It WILL turn out great, and we will have the most fun, there will be hard times, but we'll make it through anything, look at what we've come through already and just grown because of. I love him, and in three weeks, he will be my husband! Wish us luck...we'll need it!
