Bridal Shower

Today I went to a bridal shower. I love bridal showers. They remind me of my own, and allow me to reflect on those days before I was married.

I remember feeling anxious, excited, nervous, happy, and everything in between. It was a wonderful time in my life.

The point where you just want to be married already, to your handsome husband-to-be. Also the point where you look back on your life and realize it will never be the same. That your life is going in a new direction, but a better one.

ahh, the memories. to all my ladies out there who are not married (that read this). Please let me know when you get engaged/have bridal showers/ etc. That way, I can celebrate with you, and be there when you create those memories of your own.

thanks :)

Green Card

3 hour drive to Memphis Tennessee, for a 10 minute interview....HAHA. Cake. It was the easiest thing ever, and I could not be happier about it.

This interview allowed bryan to get a Green Card ( if we passed...and we did)

So, in 3 weeks, bry will be rocking his green card, and we will be 100% legal.

YAY!

Mysterious Ways

I was listening to some music on my computer, and this song came on. These lyrics are simply inspiring.

"Don't let your lights go down

Don't let your fire burn out

'cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe

Why don't you rise up now?

Don't be afraid to stand out

That's how the lost get found

The lost get found"

"The Lost Get Found" -Britt Nicole

Then, this song came on. Another amazing song with inspiring lyrics.

"I don't know how the stars hang
Or how there's night and then there's day
I dont know how you spoke into the black
And made it all obey

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know

I don't know how your love works
How you cover me in grace
I don't know how you swallow all I am
When I can't stand my taste

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know

I can't explain your mystery
But I know the answer

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know"

"All I Know" - Matt Wertz

The Lord works in mysterious ways, and knows exactly how to speak to us as individuals. For me, what I needed was some inspiring music to lift my spirits, and bring me closer to Christ, my Savior.

I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. What a blessing to be a part of it.

Fabric for curtains/pillows for couch :)

The first picture shows the pillows that are going to be put on my couch :)

The fabric with red, blue, green, yellow circles is going in the living room.

The black, grey, yellow, will go in our bedroom!!

I am so excited!! Seriously. The color theme in our kitchen/living room is red and turquoise. That theme of colors will go into the living room as well. Also there is a reoccurring theme of cute birds around the house! :) I can't wait till everything is finished!!!

I will take more pictures when I am done with decorating :)

pictures of the condo so far!

We began moving in yesterday Here are some pics... now I am not done with decorating, there are no curtains etc

As you can see, we are not done yet. I still have a bedroom with nothing in it but our trash... haha (the arch hallway leads to that bedroom). I am going to do a separate post with curtain fabrics :)

Dear World

I understand that I look young, and I usually get to that daily. BUT today was the worst. I am fabric shopping with my mom, and this lady says: "So, are you guys on a mother daughter outing?", We reply "Yes, we are!", lady then says, "I see you have a wedding ring on..." "Yes, I am married, have been for 1 year and 4 months", Lady "Oh, my I thought you were 12".....

TWELVE??? REALLY??? IM TWENTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhh;faej ra;sfjds;kf ja;lsdj

thank you for the reminder world.

thank you so much....ugh.

Not-so-sincerly,

Becca

PS. These daily reminders could stop at anytime, and I would be happy.

:D

So many good things are happening right now!! We got great news today. Bryan's employment authorization got approved. This allows him to have a job and get paid! He just has to go get his social security number, then we are good to go! We also have an interview on December 28th, for Bryan's visa, if we pass that, then Bry is able to stay in the states for a long long time!! :) Then he can eventually become a citizen!! This is awesome!!

Also, we close on our condo tomorrow!! Which means it is officially ours!! :) We are going to start moving things in tomorrow! :)

Also, it snowed all day Sunday, and made the roads pretty bad here, but no worries, we are all safe here!!

Still need to find curtains for the house!

Also, I am working on a project with my mom and sister. We are making Christmas stockings for our hubbies!! :) It's a tradition in my family for everyone to have homemade stockings. My mom's stocking was made for her by her great aunt Cressie (who by the way is turning 100 in january, and I am going to San Diego to join that party with her! ) my dad's was made by our grandma, and all of my sister's and I's stockings were made my my grandma as well. We thought we would bring the boys in on the tradition! Everyone on my moms side of the family has them too!! They are super special, I have had mine ever since I can remember!!

Oh man, we are loving life!!

ahh, relaxation

I am done with my fall semester at belmont! I survived. haha. It was awesome! My last final was on friday!!! :) Now, Bry and I can focus on getting our stuff ready for the big MOVE! This big move is occurring wednesday next week. We are so excited to finally have a place of our own again! It was great living with my parents, don't get me wrong, but....let's just say, that we are ready to move.

shout out to ashley: I am going to sew my own curtains for the condo. If I can do it, i will feel accomplished. :)

also, I am excited about decorating the place. :) I promise I will take pictures and post them on here and facebook for the world to see :)

that is all for now.

Finals are almost here!

So, this week, I have school on monday/tuesday. Then I take my finals on friday the 10th. Then I am done until January 12th!!

Crazy!

Also, we were supposed to move into our new condo this week. But things are getting pushed back a bit. I promise to take some pics of our new place. I only have 2 pics of it now, and it was when it was the model home. So these pics of the condo do not reflect how it will actually look when we move it because we have different furniture etc. but here is what it looked like as the model home.

I love this guy, a lot!!! :) he treats me like a queen. I couldn't be happier!!

Thanks Giving

I have so many things to be grateful for, seriously.

My husband, my family, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Atonement, repentance, the Spirit, being able to attend school and learn, babies (no. we are not having babies for a while, but I am still thankful for them), Christmas time, being able to walk and drive, chocolate, frozen yogurt, charleston chews (YUM), the fact that I have a bed to sleep in and a roof over my head, this WORLD.

"Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone"

Tay swift's song "Grow Up"

I am thankful for the knowledge I have of knowing that families are FOREVER. That Bryan and I will never be apart, even after this existence.

I am also thankful for Bryan's amazing family :)

And lastly I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and the love he has for me.
