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!!
