The first week of school consisted of ....
1. Many many trips to the nurse.
2. "You get sleepy eyes, too? That's okay. I get it too sometimes!"

3. "I like your shoes. Why do you always wear those?"

+ My summer break is slowly coming to an end. With all the traveling, this summer felt like the fastest and busiest summer yet. In just about one week, the campus will be filled with life again and thus begins the start of a new year.
+ I am finally all moved out of summer housing into fall housing and let me tell ya, the move was horrendous. The humidity was real, y'all. Regardless, I'm thrilled to begin the decorating process and to start livin' with my roomie + suite mates for the school year! It's gonna be so much fun!
+ I passed the GACE. Thank you, Jesus!
+ I started a little bit of wedding planning. It's been such a fun time imagining and envisioning this wedding.
+ Student teaching started with pre-planning. Glad I got the "first day of school" experience, but it wore me out real good. I couldn't remember the last time I was so exhausted. My initial thought was "great, this is gonna be me for the rest of the year!" haha! But I really don't have that much time in the schools, so I'm learning to make the best of it. Not sure why I feel as though I'm dreading it so much....

It still feels surreal even though it's been about a month now. I'm so so happy and still can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that in a year or so, I'm going to be married to my fiance, my best friend!
So many feelings and emotions have swept over my mind from day 1. How will we plan for a wedding? How will be pay for it? What do we even do first?! I'm proud to say that I waited two weeks before I thought about planning. One sweet friend once told me, "Just enjoy your engagement!" So that's what I intend to do! Two weeks may sound a little weak, but it's still a long time! ;)
My biggest concern is not perfection. Jeffrey and I learned very quickly that standards of perfection will easily lead to disappointment as well as a blurred vision of the very purpose for marriage. It's our deepest desire to center all that we do around Christ and so my prayer is that even in our planning, we'd still be able to honor God in it.
I'm thankful for friends who have continually expressed and shared in such a time of celebration with us. It's crazy to me, y'all... but all through God's grace that we're here.
So! Let the wedding planning begin!
