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 :)
