I can't wait

So yesterday me and my best friend KT spent like an hour on the phone. I miss her so much but I am so thankful for all God has been doing in her life while she has been away at IHOP. Every time I talk to her I can tell so much life and hope has soaked her spirit, it is amazing. Yesterday we talked about thanksgiving and the day after it. She is going to help me decorate my house for my 1st Christmas as a married lady. Of course we are going to wake up at like three and go to all the black Friday sales, and then the parade down town. Next we shall cut our tree down and listen to Christmas music non-stop. I am so excited!!! This is truly going to be the best Holiday season of my whole life.

Paint away

So today I was at school in the bookstore and I walked by the art section. I was for some reason or another filled with the passion to buy some water colors and a paint sketch book. So now I am gong to start attempting to paint for Jesus. I am going to put on my favorite worship album and let the Lord give me a picture of his beauty to paint. this is just another way I am getting out of my religious box to draw closer to the heart of God. I will put some of these on my blog if they don't turn out too terrible lol.

Time to try something new...

Hello all of my blogger friends who may not read this blog since I never write in it. well I have decided to start writing in it again. my inspiration for this decision is my friend kt who has the most amazing blog ever. While she has been away from home pursuing the deeper things of God she has been learning and sharing so much with all of us in the blogger world. I hope to do the same even if it is only a single laugh or a smile it is well worth it.

So here goes...
Last weekend was ladies retreat and man did God do some amazing things in me! I have decide to start a sketch book for God. Now believe me I have no real drawing skills but I do enjoy a little color pencil and paper action. So today I had Chris pick me up a 12 pack of crayola, which as we all know are the Starbucks of coloring utensils. I plan to sketch the different places I go while spending time with God. I am all about going outside of my living room to read my bible and pray, it helps keep the distraction minimal with all my to-do's. Here I go I'm stepping out of my box of normal-ness.

The first few months as a Wife

Well the last blog I posted was ten days before my wedding, crazy. Three months have gone by since that beautiful day. I love being married to Chris, everyday I learn something new. Most of the time the lesson I learn makes no difference in my daily life. Like all the different kinds of welding one can do, and how the higher up a pipe goes the lower the pressure is. The most recent one, how the liquid stays in your straw when you pick it up with your finger covering one end. Other lessons will shape my life. Like how important it is to my Husband to know that I am happy, and how he wants more than anything for me to live out my dreams. That is what love is all about, sacrificing all your wants for the other to have more than they could ever think of. He fears not showing his love for me everyday, I fear not knowing how to show the love I have for him in a fraction of the way he does.

He did the sweetest thing ever. Have you ever received a gift and thought it was great and all but the really great part was how great the person giving it to you thought it was, well the is just what happened. Chris told me he had a surprise for me at his dad's house so I was like what is it and he was like you have to wait and see. Turns out that he drove by a plant nursery and saw the most amazing flower that he just had to buy it for me. To insure that it would grow to its fullest he planted it at his dad's with two logs surrounding it.It was so sweet.

One of the challenges we are facing other than sharing our full size bed is knowing how to pursue a way to be used as a couple in god's kingdom. See I am all about kids ministry and Chris is a twenty one year old guy and as you could guess kids are not at the top of his fun list. Chris is all about being the first one there and the last one out, which can be rather inconvenient. I know that god has huge plans for us in the future and for the family we raise but often it is hard to wait until the future. i am so anxious to walk in the will of God with this amazing partner. So I guess this is a good problem to have... God sure does know what he is doing with our lives.

WOW It has been forever!!!

Well to all of my dedicated fans who have spent the last months in tears because of the lack of blogging I have done, here is an update.

My wedding is next weekend AHHHH!!!! and I am so excited.
Everything is done but a few minor details, like ordering the food lol, and purchasing the bridal parties gifts. Last Saturday my awesome bridal shower took place. Katie and Jenn did an amazing job! I took a how well do you know Chris quiz and only got 5 out of 20 right :( but Chris did admitt to not fulling thinking through at least 2 of the answers. the rest where so random but really funny. I now have a box full of addvice both nice and so aplicable to my soo to be wife life. God has really provided my with amazing women who have been married for at least 10 years and most of which of kids, to learn from. Katie is the most amazing friend anyone could ever ask for.

Oh an update on chris... He has been so great during these last few stressful weeks. I don't think I could have made it through with him puttin my view back in the right prospective. I also had the mosdt intimidating conversation yesterday. I called my Dad to let him know that Brian would be walking me down the isle on June 13th and not him. It went way better than I thought. the Lord really does hear and answer prayers!!!

Well I also moved into our new apartment. It is so nice, comfy and most important it is us. almost everything has been unpacked and unloaded now we just wait for the time that Chris doesn't have to go somewhere else to sleep. :)

Well that is just a few thoughts from the soon to be Mrs Chris Davis.

118 days to go

Wow I have not blogged for quite sometime. sorry to all my fans for that!
Let me see, well yesterday was valentines day and it was great. Chris and I decited to have a re-do date from two years ago. Since we had all of saturday together we started out with a simple breakfast-pancakes. We watched a movie on our new couch, which at this moment has found its home in my bed room. It makes the pad pretty sweet to hang with my peeps and all that jazz. following that we went for a little shopping adventure. we exchanged cards. Chris wrote something so mushy and amazing and I on the other hand was my usual sarcastic self. lol we are such a perfect balance. He also gave me a beautiful lili pant and a lili bouque. then we ventured off to dinner at old town pizza in town down. It is a cute little place. super old but so cool. the whole place is very close together and it has super sort seelings, the light shades in the place all have a faded yellow color making everything look gold. none of the funiture matches and everything looks to ba an antique. we shared a cutom pizza and I ordered a spinige salad that ended up tastedin like park dust. I felt the need that night to eat like a granola cruncher.. for some unknown reason I got a pesto pizza with spinige and chicken. it sounded great but was not at all what pizza should be. I ended up eating one slice of mine and two of his meat and cheese with olives. as it should be he would say... a classic taste. while we were awaiting the arrival of our pizza we exchanged gifts. I recieved an awesome gift card to a spa place. which i have never even thought about going to. 120 dollars for hair, nails, feet rub, back rub, face peel you know all that girly stuff that we are born to love. I am so excited to go and get my hair done at a place other than great clips.

as for an update on the wedding planning. well not much has changed from last you heard. Other than the fact that the time is going by so fast. we have decided on center pieces. a vase in a vase with a single Calla Lilli and candy surrounding the inner vase. simple but fun. I am so excited, we are going to order our invites, on my mothers request. who by the way had a turn around in interest about the whole getting married business which I am so thanking God for. Chris' dad has picked out an awesome suit to wear. and I shall be taking my parents soon to pick out their outfits. guys tux' are chosen will order in march. we are getting engagement photos taken this coming Saturday. which both of us actually bought new clothes for :) in short things are going great!oh and we should be starting pre-marriage counseling anytime now. which is the fun stuff you all want to know about.

gettin it done

So the check list so far for our need to do's is goin very well.
we have a location- an old air port in sandy
we have a cake prepairer
we have a dress ordered
we have the bridesmaids dresses all ordered
we have the guest list done
we have picked out our invitaions
we have found our flowers-costco lilies
we have chairs picked to order
we have found a runner
we have our vidoe man picked out
we have our photographer picked out

The stress that I have been feeling the last couple weeks has simmered down a lot which I am very thankful for that. The biggest blessing I have is the people from my church. I have never met a group of people that care so much about me. My family is not really into weddings, actually i don't think anyone in my family has ever had a wedding more than just enough people to sign the witness paper. my parents got married at my mom's mother's house is borrowed attire flowers from the yard and just family there. which is not wrong but when I am a parent i could never see myself wanting my daughter to rent a gown and spend nearly no money. so Chris is paying for everything to relieve the potential harassment my parents would dish out if they had to help at all. But all that aside I know that God so has his hand on Chris and I and every part of our wedding.all of the things we have got so far have been at the best deal possible and the help we have been getting is amazing. It;s like everything is falling into place. so where I lack a dad that is so thrilled for his kid and a mother willing to help God is my supportive parent. A father to the fatherless. I can't ever imagine this happening if it wasn't for the grace God has on my life and the overflowing love for me he has.
well that is a glimpse into the things I have come to realize so far in this engagement journey and I love it.
oh ya and a-make-you-say awe storey for you all.
last week Chris and I were going over our budget fro the wedding and things we looking not so good in the money area, which led to some changes but for the better. anyways so we were looking at the money and I got so upset that my dad didn't want to help at all , and that my mom hadn't called to check in that I just lost it and started to cry for like ever. He didn't notice at first then he caught on. He wrapped his arms around me and prayed. Of course that just made me cry harder lol. but in that moment when he said nothing but brought it all before God I realized that this is so meant to be!
