something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue


i am newly engaged to be married... and i couldn't be more happy! haha. sappy public broadcasting, but - really - it's wonderful.. :)

we're not getting married for another 6 and a half-ish months. so the idea of planning for it seems silly. I've been told otherwise.

that said: i think i want a wedding color of brown.
finally, (above) here we are on a more serious note. it's a sort - of irony to the typical nature of our relationship. ba hah!!.... we laugh alot together :)

had it up to here

eeee. i'm sportin' a 'tude about the bug pests in our house. but, seriously, it's ridiculous. i woke up two hours ago to a massive (MASSIVE) amount of little black wingful pests next to my bed. most of them were dead, but some were still fluttering around, and still even some had come to snuggle up beside me. - what in the world?!?! i'm mostly in shock at this because we also have been having issues with fleas....

so, anyway, i 'cleaned the mess' - what have you - up with wet paper towels, found garden bug spray on our front porch, and sprayed that in my room. now i sit here hoping and praying for something to keep the critters away.. (note: call rental agency tomorrow.)

buttttt, i suppose i shouldn't complain so much!!.. yes, it's terribly annoying, but wait - i have a job and a home (where - if insects had to pay rent - would be free) , i'm well-fed, God's blessed me with an amazing family and friends, the world around us is gorgeous... God is my God

and so, this song just popped into my head: (haha)

Oh, God you are my God
and I will ever praise you

I will seek you in the morning
I will learn to walk in your ways

and step by step you'll lead me
and I will follow you all of my days

(do you know it?!).. the melody is simple and pretty, pretty simple.

anyway, this week i want to remember particularly to praise God in everything - even with pesty friends in the house. ba ha ;).
