Life, as crazy as it may be, is actually starting to get a little bit better.  My family is still going through a hard time so continue to pray for them if you think about it.

The holiday season is upon us and Thanksgiving will be the first holiday I get to celebrate with my husband.  I'm so excited about Christmas and all the traditions that we'll make.

Gap is really looking like it's a go for me and Shannon.  We're both very excited and even more excited to see who God will be sending us.

That's about all for this entry.  Happy Holidays!

Well life feels like it's spinning out of control but out of my control and in God's is always a great place to be....hard.....painful....very confusing....but a good place to be.  I'm dying to me and becoming more like God so that I can carry on what ever this plan is for me that he has.  Some days I feel discouraged and I cry a lot but I just see it as breaking free.

If you think about it keep my family in your prayers.  They are at a crucial point in life and I'm praying for protection for all of them.  They all need the love of Christ.

Shannon and I are doing ok.  All the stuff I'm going through is hard for him to watch but we're learning how to be married and how to come along beside eachother.  Life is busy and we both wish we could spend more time together but this is only the beginning.  The show that we're in will be over in three weeks thank the Lord and maybe life will slow down a little after that.

Well I guess the only thing left to say is...I have to go for an MRI on Friday and I'm pretty scared.  I may have to have surgery and just the thought of the needles and knives makes me tired....so keep me in your prayers.  It's from the bad dancing accident at Convention in April.  The doctor think I either tore a ligament or my miniscus.

That's all for now!

Well, it's all over.  The wedding has come and gone and now I'm a married woman...THANK YOU JESUS!  Being married is so much fun.  Shannon and I are having so much fun just being together all the time and not having to say goodbye every night.  Now I just have to hear Shannon whine when I go to work cause he'll be lonely during the day.  Shannon offically has mono and has been very sick but I've been trying to get him back to good health.  We're really excited about Master's starting.  I can't wait to see all of you that are coming back and meeting all of those that are coming for the first time.  I hope to be around a lot and of course my door will be open to those poor second year girls that need a shoulder to cry on.

I haven't really heard from anyone since I got married and I just wanted to say that it's okay to call me.  I'm over the honeymoon stage and I'd love to talk to you.  We'll have to have a Master's get together soon so everyone can see the changes we've made to the house.  Of course it's still not the Ritz Carlton but we're starting to get it to feel a little more homey.

Well I miss all of you and I want to say thanks to all of you that made special trips to come to the wedding.  It was a magical night that I'll never forget and it was all thanks to you guys.  It wouldn't have been the same without you there to spice up the dance floor!

Well we love you all and can't wait to see you!

Thank you Amsterdam and Goodnight!

This will be a very quick update but a very important one as well.  For those of you that I haven't talked to, Shannon and I are really struggling.  We're stronger in our relationship than ever before but we're facing the most opposition than ever.  My parents are really kicking it into high gear when it comes to the marriage demolition.  My mom is pretty much helping out financial because she doesn't want to look bad at her daughters cheap wedding and my dad, as of right now, isn't walking me down the isle.  Needless to say, I'm really going up against some big challenges.  I'm finally having to stand up to them and make my own decision and not the ones that will make them happy.  So please keep us in your prayers.

I started my job....love it, I miss Masters....but not so bad that I want to go back, and I only have 30 days until I get married...all in all I'm doing pretty good.
