A Walk Down Memory Lane and a Leap Towards the Future

So this evening, Bryan and I went through some old boxes of mine that have been in storage for years. In these boxes were books and notes and bags and trinkets from my childhood...what a special thing it was to remember these times, sharing them all with Bryan. Some of the memories represented in my boxes were some of the fondest times in my life, memories that brought me comfort, a smile, a warm heart, great friendship and a treasure. It was such a treat going through this with Bryan knowing that in 50 years I will look back at memories and see that he has brought me all these things.

Bryan and I took a break from the dust piled papers and decided to have a snack...oh how cute, I know. We both ended up with peanut butter on our faces and laughing in the kitchen...it is times like these that I want to remember vividly. I want to look back on this in 50 years and say...yep we still flirt like that! Everyday I spend with Bryan whether its a stress-filled planning one or a relaxing day by the pool...I fall more and more in love with Him. I am reminded of how blessed I am to have a Godly man like him choose to marry me...choose to spend the rest of his life with ME! What an incredible thing that is! My prayer is that our wedding day (which is just 17 short days away) will bring glory to our God Most High, because we have honored him in our waiting period (of 4 1/2 LONG years). My prayer is that our love for each other will bring Him great joy and satisfaction...may Bryan and I continually be reminded of Christ's love for us so that we may grow daily in our love for each other!

I love you Bry...can't wait for you to be my husband!

Love,
Your Baby Girl

VBS DAY 1

So VBS 2010 kicked off this morning at ShoreLife church. We had a ton of kids in attendance and it seemed like all in attendance (adults included) had a great time. The first day is always an interesting one, because all of things you forget as a director become highlighted and larger than life :) We had a few hiccups but nothing unmanageable. I was talking with a dear friend and volunteer this morning as I was stressing over some logistics, and she reminded me that we have a lot of un-churched kiddos coming and Satan wants nothing more than to ruin the impact we can have in the lives of these kiddos. What a great reminder that was to me this morning! I am pumped about the remainder of this week and think that the Lord has something HUGE in store for these kiddos! I am hoping for a solid 10 hours of sleep to prepare myself for a busy week at VBS. (ok so maybe I am hoping for just a solid night sleep without lists and lists of things do to popping in my brain in the middle of the night).
