It is about time I write another one of these things. I have a smorgasbord of little tidbits so let us begin.
I have found a new love-my mother's juicer. It is ancient and bulky but oh so wonderful. I felt like the biggest weirdo lugging it into my apartment, but I have the last laugh; Alyssa has fallen in love with carrot juice! Listen up all you carrot eaters. Carrot juice is marvelous, absolutely delicious and so so sweet and tasty. I must register for my own juicer!
I have found another love-candy. It is not necessarily the taste of the candy, it is the feeling it gives me. My dad gave me his Valentine's candy from school, and of course it consisted of all the childhood favorites. Being a very sugar-deprived child, I experienced Fun Dip for the first time a few days ago. I felt so giddy, yet very "cool." The next day I proudly ate a ring pop, while wearing it of course. I pretended it was the diamond ring I had gotten the week before.
The wedding planning is officially overwhelming. Due to the short engagement, I have had to hit the planning full swing immediately. I have a very specific vision, consisting of an outside ceremony and reception, and due to our large guest list we are having a difficult time finding adequate facilities. I have a to-do-list in my real simple magazine and it starts at twelve to nine months before. I am currently at five months before the wedding, which means I have had two weeks to get everything done on the twelve to nine months before list all the way to the six months before. Enough said.
To end on a more serious note, today I went to the Mill with Jordan. I can see why she loves it so much; it is the perfect get-a-way coffee shop! I got to journal and do a little reading. I read my devotion for the day from my favorite devotional-the one year devotional Walk With God by Chris Tiegreen. I recommend it for everyone. Today hit home for me. "We're reminded of our old nature often, and we let it speak louder than the promise of God." That one sentence was enough for the day, but it kept going. "Jesus does not offer to improve us. He offers to let us die, and then to inhibit our personalities with His presence." It then went on the explain how we can let this happen. It was wonderful to read, especially amidst the overwhelmingness of life.
