Significance.

Mike was asking about my day earlier and my reply was simply “Good.” Nothing else. Which started a longer conversation in which my wonderful fiancé said something that stood out to me that I wanted to share. I’m sure I’ll butcher what he [actually] said, but here’s what I walked away with…

“ There are significant things that happen daily in your life, but because it’s your life you’re not aware of them. If we fail to see the significance in our lives, then we will fail to feel significant and forget we are called to make an impact with everything that we do.”

Life at work today felt just like every other day. Life at work tomorrow, will [hopefully] feel a little.bit.different.

Side Note: Part of me wants to make blogging apart of my everyday life. It’s necessary {for me at least} to process life daily {in some way or another}. We’ll see how that goes!

Love,

8 Months of <3

I woke up in one of the most wonderful ways this morning… to my mom bringing in flowers! She told me to go back to sleep, but once I realized what they were, my mind started trying to figure out if they were for me or my sister (who is home with her BF for the weekend and sleeping in my room too). As my brain started to wake-up I realized…. It’s Our 8 month Anniversary! And then, falling back asleep, was NOT an option!

My mom HAD to get her camera out, she loves being apart of these things!

Here’s they are, with me on the phone with him in the background!

She’s SO creative! I love these:

My wonderfully hubby-to-be called my parents at work yesterday and had them pick these up. He knows me so well…A Dozen Purple Roses…my favorite color!! He told my mom he wanted me to see them first thing when I wake-up…. so romantic! And little did he know, but the filler greenery they used (the buds before they bloom) is what is going to be in the bouquets for the wedding! PERFECT!

What a great way to start the day!… the only thing that would have made it better was it he was here to delivery them himself!

Valentines Day Weekend

It was a weekend full of adventure and crazy flights, but so worth it all to see MY love!

We got to spend some time together, but Sunday morning is when I got the camera out :) Here are some pics from while we were at Battleship Cove. Someday we want to go back and actually tour the ships, but this day we just enjoyed being together and in Love!

My Favorite of us!

It was windy and I had the bright idea of taking the pic while we were looking into the sun… oops!…

By the battleship…. the wind came up behind me! Crazy hair!

This little river was beautiful! I took it from inside so you can see my reflection!

And a couple of the battleships…

This cove is in Fall River, MA - the town that Mike and I are going to live!! That realization became such an exciting reality to me this weekend! I can’t wait to go on walks with him by the water, explore more of Fall River, take trips to the big cites - Boston (1 hr.), Providence, RI (20 min.), NYC (4 hrs), and Hartford, CT (2 hrs)! I LOVE the architecture and depth of history of the East Coast and someday I’ll get to explore it all with the man I love… someday :-D.

The Lord has been giving me more revelation on Eph. 5… more on that to come!

Blessings!

I did something CRAZY today!

So… I was having a hard time dealing with the thought of being away from MY Valentine on the first year that I’ve ACTUALLY had a Valentine! That on top of the fact that it was a 3 Day weekend because Monday is Presidents Day!

Today, about 1:00 PM, I jumped on Kayak.com JUST to see if I could find anything remotely close to inexpensive for a flight from Des Moines to Boston… because both are on the small end for airports you ALWAYS have a layover and flights are not cheap!

Do do do… drumming fingers … I plugged in the airports and dates and times… *sigh*… probably won’t find anything. The prices start appearing… NOTHING under $300 for the times I’d specified sooooo, I widened the search a little more…

$220 for a flight for GOOD times, not the best but still good! SO… I text Mike… WHAT DO YOU THINK? We prayed/ thought/ checked our budget, and I don’t have to take vacation time… IT FIT!

So – I’m GOING TO SEE MY LOVE in 10 DAYS and be with him ALL day on VALENTINES DAY!! WAHOOOO! My heart is SO happy, being in a long distance relationship is hard when you don’t get to see each other often!

***Those of you that know me, know that I’m not usually a last minute, spur of the moment, BIG trip taker… but this I could not pass-up and Engagement is the season to do crazy, spur of the moment stuff like this…RIGHT?!?!***
