Well...

In the past four months, I graduated with my Bachelor's degree, got married, moved to Louisville, got a substituting job and found out we are going to have a baby. Life is moving quickly and sometimes being a bit surprising. But it is very blessed. :)

But the Lord directs his steps."

    We're so happy for the both of you (& the whole family)..hope you are feeling well. It is a lot to adjust to in a short time but you have your wonderful husband to adjust along with you! Congrats :D

Lord willing...

I will be home in about eight hours. Ready to be there and not at school. Ready to see my family. And ready to get more sleep.

Prayers for all who are traveling would be much appreciated.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Today I am thankful:

-for a fiance that is the most patient person I know. :-))
-for a break from teaching.
-for a beautiful day!
-for friends who give you rides to the airport at 5:00 in the morning. :-)
-for rice. It is cheap, filling, and versatile.

**Every time I see the word "fiance", I think it is the word "finance". Can't wait to start typing "husband" instead. ;-)**

    I know what you mean! "husband!"

    I am so glad you are getting a chance to go home!

    (also, spagettii/sauce is also good if you can get it BOGO at Publix!)

Exactly 3 months ago...

Emerson drove off to move to Louisville. And today, I get to see him again for the first time since he left!!! And I am very excited. Very. Still have to wait about 8 1/2 more hours. Have to stay busy.

**************************************

Today I'm thankful:
-that Emerson is coming!
-that I have a break from school.
-that God is understanding and has patiently allowed me to work through some of my flaws.
-for leftovers (the food kind).
-and for you taking the time to read this. And puting up with another post about Emerson. I'll be honest, there may be a few more.

    Was it exactly three months ago that I started screaming in excitement in the middle of my kitchen for no apparent reason to my family?

    ^^No, that was a little under four months ago. :-)

    Are you kidding? I love to hear how much one person adores another. For one thing, it's just cute. And it's a good example :-)

    Hello, friend! I just unpacked your painting! It rode home with Caleb Liggin's parents by car with the books I purchased at the book store. How was your week at school? I have been sick almost all the time since I have been home but I feel much better today! Yea!
    by bestill at 02/18/12 12:00PM

I logged on and found there were 293 new entries.

Also, there are several people whose last name I need to change. Guess it's been awhile. I don't know that I have much interesting to share. Oh, except that I'm getting married to him next May. But other than that, nothing really. Hope all are well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I'm thankful:
-for sunshine!
-that homework doesn't determine my eternal future.
-that Mr. Fannin is patient with giggly students, three in particular.
-for the McNabbs, who have become like my own family.

    :) I'm glad that you'll be getting married! What a blessing that will be for you and for all who will know the two of your together! I love you, dear. And I was actually just thinking about you today as I wore the hat you made me this past fall/winter...or when ever it was. :) Have blessed days!

    Oh yeah, *only* that you're getting married to this really nice guy who's just perfect for you. Why, your life is practically BORING!! How you suffer my dear! But then you never complain ;)

    May must seem so far away for you... it seems far away to me.

    And then I realize I turn 24, and I'm like, "Nah...not too far away. I'll like being 23 for a while longer!"

    Do you worship at North (or is it South) Livingston now instead of Seffner?

    Congratulations!! I was on campus last week one weekday, the one Brian led singing.
