Dear Trip
Right now. I. AM. OVERWHELMED. I am trying to pack for Colorado. Brian took the big suit case, i have like 5 duffle bags to choose from. My room is in shambles...It is too quiet here and I am realizing how much Brian evens me out and keeps me organized. I don't like this whole him not being here to help me. I can't imagine if we had children and me trying to do this. I know I am just complaining, so now I am done:)
Sincerely,
Unhappy Packer

Oh How the Years Go By!
Today is January 9, 2012. I can't believe it but it has been 6 months since my amazing husband and I joined in the adventure of marriage. Even more unbelievable is that we have been together for 4 years already! I feel so blessed to have this man in my life. God knew many years ago the things I would need in a life-long teammate and I am thankful to be realizing those things thus far in our marriage. Unfortunately, Brian is out of town so we don't get to celebrate together, but him being away has actually helped me to realize the things I love most about him.
Brian,
I hope you know how much I love you and how thankful I am for you. God has truly blessed me by putting you in my life. Thank you for showing me Christ's love and encouraging me throughout the years. This new part of our journey of marriage has definitely been fun but also not without challenges :) I am thankful for both because they have allowed us to grow together and individually. It has been amazing to see how God has worked in your life the past four years and I feel so special to be a part of it! I am excited for what God will bring our way in the many years to come. Thanks for sticking with me!
Love,
Me

Long Time No Blog
Well, it has been a while since I posted and shared whats been goin on! And let me tell you A LOT has been goin on! December started with a trip to the ER after fainting from a bad nose bleed. It was lovely :) But this was also a great time because God once again reminded me of the amazing man he has put in my life. Brian was so great through this experience and taking care of the me the days following the big ordeal. Did I mention this happened the week of finals?? God obviously thought I needed a lesson in perseverance. Brian went to campus with me and was near by while I took my tests and by God's grace I finished my finals and passed! This is very exciting because it means I now only have one more semester of college left! Though I don't know what God has planned after... I cannot wait to be done!
Christmas was a great time as well. We definitely had our fair share of Christmas as we attended six different ones between our extended and immediate families! We also welcomed my brother Jason home for the holidays. He was able to pull off surprising my mom, which added to the fun of the season! Unfortunately, we were missing some key family members: My brother Ryan and his family and Brian's sister Amy and her husband Ben. We definitely missed having all them here!
Mid-December, we had a fun visit from our friends Will and Kayla. They were here for a job prospect which kept them busy, but we were also able to spend some quality time together! Brian and Will met at Crown in Minnesota where Brian went to college. The past couple years, they really grew to become best friends and ever since, our dating/engaged/married relationships have been very similar. I really believe God had this friendship planned for a long time. Just to give an example: Brian and Will both bought engagement rings from Kay Jewelers about a week apart from each other and Will and Kayla also got engaged on July 4th like us just 15 minutes before us! Though they live far away Kayla and I have been able to build a friendship as well and I am so thankful to have them in our life!
O and we also celebrated my birthday with my family on the 26th. I turned the big 2-2! Ya, it's really nothing special :) But it was such a fun night, especially seeing my mom and dad play Guesstures for the first time!! Quite a hoot!
I know this was a very mumbo jumbo post but sometimes it's good for me to just get everything out :)
