Cleveland

We are headed back to Cleveland today to try and finalize most of the wedding details. It will be a jam packed weekend full of dress fittings, meeting with the caterer, running errands and enjoying hanging out with friends at our bachelor/bacheloret parties :-)

Please be praying that David and I would be able to rest in God's grace throughout the next two weeks and not rely on our own strength to get things done. And that in all the craziness and excitement of marriage that we would keep our eyes on glorifying God in all that we do.

Just in case anyone has lost count...I GET TO MARRY MY BEST FRIEND IN 15 DAYS!!!!

Blessed to have Sisters

This past weekend, my sisters Nataile and Shannon came to visit as sorta a birthday present! I was so blessed that they came! We had fun, laughed and did just girly things! Friday night they were so sweet and cooked dinner for David and I when we got off work! Dinner was very yummy girls! Thanks!

After dinner we headed to the park to play volleyball but when we got to the court the sand was infested with bees...so we hit up the swing set:-)

This probably was the coolest playground I had ever played on! It had everything to keep the 4 of us entertained!...Hold on guys
This thing was fun. It was this spinning circle and you had to try and walk around on it without falling off!
Saturday we went down to DC to do a little site seeing
DAVID...HOLD ON!!! (Air and Space)
Natalie's new family
And of course the Capital
Sunday was a day of shopping! We spent all afternoon shopping and was able to find some pretty cool stuff. Then we all headed out for dinner and a walk around the lake!
I love you girls so much and so grateful to God that I am blessed with 3 wonderful sisters! Thanks so much for coming, love you!

Friends, Dinner and Paddle Boats

Tonight David and I hung out with David and Casey! We started off the night with Casey and I getting off of work (we both work at the church), running to the grocery store and picking up food for dinner. We decided to make Chicken Parmesan for the guys ( both of their favorite meals)! After dinner we headed off to get ice cream and hit the paddle boats-we had such a great time!
David and Casey
Oh no! We left David hanging from the bridge! No worries though, we paddled back words to save him.
David and Casey we had such a great time hanging out with you guys! We will have to do it again sometime soon!
I can't believe I will be marring this man in 24 days and spend the rest of my life with my best friend! :-)

Baby Brady!

My cousin had a little baby this morning! Brady Thomas was born at 4:57am weighing 8.3 ounces and 19.75 inches long. Brady and I are exactly 22 year and 60 seconds apart! Happy birthday Brady!

I Love Him!
Less than a month now until we are husband and wife...I am so EXCITED!!!
Peek-a-boo
I'm not really sure?

Tuesday night was date night...so David and I decided to breakout of our shell and try a new restaurant. Well, lets just say it was very interesting (the food that is) but over all, I had a wonderful night spending time with my love.

Tomorrow we are driving to PA for our friends Sarah and David's wedding. I am also in the wedding so that will be a lot of fun! I am so excited for them.

What what.... David knows how to use a computer??

I know it has been very long in coming from my end of the two people. But alas I am here!! Did anyone miss me? ..... ha I have let my lovely wife to be communicate with the rest of the outside world while I sleep the days!! HA NOT!

I want to share with you a couple things that I so appreciate about Hannah. As she has moved down here more than a month ago now it seems but a week in the scheme of everything. I am so enjoying living life with her and getting to know her better each passing day. Its the mundane things of life that I so enjoy doing with her. We have been going to the gym together, hanging out together, working on the wedding and just going to pick up groceries or a present for someone. This has been such a great joy for me to be able to care for her, protect her and be there to laugh with her in all of the ups and downs of life.

I could not have asked for more of a blessing. The way that Hannah cares for me and points me to God is one of the things that she excels in. Every day she puts her interests down to serve me. This can seem like a self serving goal but this is just the fact of the matter. And I appreciate it so very much.

Hannah is also very humble. She is always seeking input and asking for correction in areas while seeking to grow in her walk with God. I cannot tell you how greatful I am! God has blessed me with a wonderful woman of God to be able to build with and love for the rest of my life!!!
