Ado(red)

I have always been one to love WEDDINGS :) This past weekend i went with my boyfriend and his precious parents to a Gorgeous smaller wedding for a family friend of theirs in the city of San Ramon in a Gorgeous Vineyard! The day of the wedding i was just stressed and frustrated cuz i was soo unprepared for that day! I get very crabby and upset when things dont exactly go the way i want them to and when im unorganized or uncomfortable or just Hating my outfit haha! So that morning i was running errands galore getting last minute details.. shoes, jewelry ect. After my boyfriend called me numerous times wondering where i was..due to the TIME CRUNCH i was in for a wedding far away, i just starting getting stressed more and more. After finally arriving and getting ready and then leaving. I was just emotional and crabby and i felt bad for acting immature. Once we actually arrived 2 hours later after the LONG ride, we went inside and sat down for the not to mention Catholic Wedding Service. It was different for me to attend the ceremony. All the standing up and reciting was just a different world. Needless to say it was a gorgeous ceremony. We then got to the reception after the in between pit stop to a darling little starbucks in the middle of huge vineyards, i was very much satisfied after my precious boyfriend bought me my Grande Ice Mocha with an extra shot of ESPRESSO and lots of calories with the added Whip Cream :) When we got to the Vineyard where the reception was held it was like walking into a fairy-tale wedding! The spanish style building with a Huge Stone fountain in the middle and lights hanging over the courtyard was just simply elegant! I was just in awe of the beauty and just imagining my DREAM wedding in my head. The food and reception and hours of dancing was a blast! My boyfriend was precious all night long and we had such a wonderful time with is parents and during all the fun i completely forgot why i was so stressed in the first place! It was quality time well spent and i felt truly ADO(RED) by William the entire night and continually had a SMILE graced upon my face the entire time! Will defiantly made me feel PURSUED by him and i was one HAPPY girl!! I can't wait to be a BRIDE someday!! The future is defiantly one big adventure and i am excited for the journey and exploration along the way! 

Relaxed, Refreshed, Rejuvenated

Today was a great day.. it started out with waking up at the Crack of Dawn and taking my sister to school at 7am! The wonderful thing about it was getting a REFRESHING start with it being so early in the morning. We stopped in Colfax for our favorite Starbucks coffee run.. but this time we were able to order and sit down and visit.. have some quality needed sissy time! We wanted to start the day off good.. so we grabbed our bibles and thought where to begin??? Well its so amazing how when you open your bible.. God reveals so much. We decided for kicks to read a Proverb for a day of the month. Since it was the 11th we read Proverbs 11 and wow was it just what we both needed to hear! It talked about a wise man the importance of humility and the words that we use towards one another. I really needed to hear that today and after sipping on my morning coffee and enjoying Gods revealing words i felt completely refreshed! I just feel it is so wonderful to be able to sit in a public place and read Gods word out loud.. and the freedom that is that i truly take for granted. There are many people out in the world that have to hide to enjoy Gods word. I felt REJUVENATED after this morning and hearing Gods word speak to me was a great start to my RELAXING day!

A Pursuit of Happyness

So its been a stressful month so far!! College and its many Midterms, Projects, and piles of assignments...Oh the joys of being a full-time student! The Typical now-a-day, economical stresses. As well as, Health being a main issue these past few weeks and dealing with a Sinus Infection, that has been quite a challenge! I have to reassure myself that the Lord provides, heals, is always there to relieve that stress off my shoulders! I am truly finding out more and more each day that letting go of stress and giving it to him can be the most uplifting feeling! My road to a PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS is found in my friends that surround my life, uplifting me and encouraging me. It would be a lonely place without my friends with me experiencing similar Highs and Lows. Having my best friend Will as a listener in my life truly feels like a stable shoulder that i can lean on when i know im having a bad day...that extra stability helps me get through it! I am constantly being challenged in my Prayer life, being pushed to "Pray at all times and on Every Occasion." Ephesians 6:18
