My Crazy Life

My life is offically crazy but a good kind of crazy.  It takes a lot to find a job, plan a wedding, get ready to move and do the normal day to day stuff.  Most of it is good and will be totally worth it.  Work is not great but not anything I will post on here.  God is definitely making it easier to close that door.  It's a little sad in general to be closing doors but the ones that I am opening are so worth it. 

Jarrod and I get married in 3 and a half months.  I am so excited and can't wait to see all that God has in store for us.  Yesterday, I went down at his church and said that I wanted to be baptized and become a part of that church.  This was a big step.  If you know me, you know that I was raised Methodist and went through a Methodist "baptism" when I was 5.  Over the last 10 years, I have questioned whether that was right and should I be baptized as an adult by submersion.  About a year ago, I felt like God was telling me that I should but I wasn't sure where or when.  The big church I went to in Irving just did not feel right.  Being baptized with my future husband present in a small setting with Godly people totally feels right.  I will be baptized on April 3 at New Hope Baptist Church in Rogers, AR.

On another wedding note, we had our first shower on Saturday in Little Rock.  It was a small shower hosted by my college friends, Ashley and Kristy.  I am amazed by my college friends and how close we all still are.  I definitely think those are some of the most lasting friendships I will have in my life.  Oh there are and will be others but they are different from the college group.  The shower was a blast and we got some useful stuff for our Kitchen.

This is Jill, Rachel, Jaime, Me, Stacia, Whitney, Ashley and Kristy!!

The adorable cake!


Some of the cool stuff I got and my new apron!!


Please continue to pray for Jarrod and I as I look for a job.  Pray that one is found quickly so that other decisions can be made such as where we are going to live.
