I'll start off by saying this... I haven't blogged for a reason. We are getting VERY close to being able to reveal our big news (assuming that everything continues as planned). Keep the prayers coming, please! We can't wait to share with you guys (around Mardi Gras break perhaps!)
Now, onto my favorite things..
1.
Oh, ya know... just passing the time doing THIS.
2. I'm reading The Fault in Our Stars right now. It's taking me forever to read, because I'm afraid of how it will end. There is a trailer out right now for the movie, but I only watched the first 30 seconds or so, because I don't want it to spoil any of the book. What are you reading right now?
3. Rob and I opted to not do Valentine's Day gifts this year because WE ARE ENGAGED and stuff, but he did surprise me with buying the ingredients to make THIS CAKE. Just in case you're too lazy to click the link...
NOM NOM NOM
4. Speaking of that whole WE ARE ENGAGED thing... we have narrowed down the venues to just a few. We are visiting them all in the next few weeks, and we should have a decision made by Mardi Gras. I don't feel overwhelmed at all by wedding planning, but I do feel a little pressure to pick a venue...especially since one of our main choices didn't have the date we wanted available. :/ I promise to keep you guys updated once we make our final decision.
5. And last, but CERTAINLY not least... my heart was so touched this week when the mother of a friend from high school wrote about me on her blog. She had asked awhile back if she could write about me, and honestly.. I thought that she wanted to write about our house projects! Imagine my surprise when I opened up one of the most thoughtful, kind gifts that I've ever received. I wish that everyone that I love could experience the joy I felt when I read what Ms. Lilly wrote about me. This woman has inspired me in the way that she lives her life for MANY years. It was a shock and blessing to find out that I had been doing the same for her! Thank you, Ms. Lilly. You'll never know what that meant to me!
To see the blog post (and so many other amazing posts that will be sure to inspire you, too), check it out RIGHT HERE.
And one last thing... I have a prayer request for all of you. We have several friends and family members who really would benefit from your prayers in the next few weeks/months. I don't want to share other people's stories without their permission, but I know that they'd appreciate the extra prayers and positive thoughts! :)
