"We" signed a contract today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!! :)

WE FOUND A HOUSE!!!!!!!! oh my goodness! Where to even start about the amazing blessings of this week! Last Saturday my darlin called me at work sounding very frantic. All i could think of was he got a massive bass, and I couldn't wait to hear about it! (Those of you who know him, know that his voice must have been pretty happy for me to be expecting that! haha) But boy was I ever wrong...he found a beautiful little house about 2 minutes from town, and he was beyond excited about it! So then of course, I became excited and just prayed to God that I loved it as much as he did! :) So after work we looked at just the outside, and it was GORGEOUS!!!! It is beautiful and antique, a house built in the 50's with a welcoming floral entrance, and a pecan tree and an apple tree! Those were two of my favorite things! :) The most exciting thing for me was that we were both excited and just smiling so big together, and the place suited us and our likes so well.

So then Sunday I had to work, and we made an appointment with the owner for as soon as I got off. Jenny and Keith and Cody brought my darlin and they all came and picked me up! We went and toured the inside, and it was just as beautiful as the outside. Everything about this house just beamed in my heart, and I was just overwhelmed by that intuition that God gives us females about things. I began to zone out while the owner was speaking, and I could just see us living in this house and starting our life together within those walls, and I could not have been happier!!! :) When we left, I could tell the look on Levi's face said the same thing as mine. We talked and decided this was the house for us, and we wanted to do anything in order to get it.

Levi called the man back and made him an offer and Monday morning we were at the bank filling out loan papers!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH it is beyond amazing how God takes care of us and our relationship. I love that man more than anything on this earth, and we cannot even believe all of this is happening but we know it is right. We do not know everything by any means, but that is the joy of it all...exploring life together. We do know we love eachother, and this house is for us. I felt it when we went inside, and I just cried that night thinking about how blessed we are to have eachother and such wonderful people working wth us! :) As of today, I have been going back and forth to the bank throughout the week, and Keith and I met the owner to sign the papers this morning that holds the house for us in time to process the loan! He signed for Levi, and I signed my name, and I literally could not contain myself!!!!! :) So to hear the bank put it, in a few more weeks, it should all be processed with hopefully not any problems, and the house will hopefully be ours!!!!! :):):):):):) I went and spoke with a lady at the bank to finalize some information this afternoon, and I have another appointment the first of next week with another banker. It was the best feeling ever having our names together on that piece of paper! To potentially have something that is ours, in our name, and the start of our life together. Nothing else matters as long as we have eachother, not the furniture, the paint, vacations, jewelry, I just want to be with my darlin in that house and for the rest of our lives!!!!! :)

My parents are coming up this weekend, and I am sooo excited!!! My little mama has already started offering to come up and provide some floral help, because she is amazing at growing flowers!!! I cant WAIT!!! :) Also, we decided, that if we get this house, that is the place we are going to get married!!!!! :) I've always wanted to be that girl getting married in her front yard, and I told Levi that if we get the house, I just couldn't imagine any other place being more romantic or more perfect than getting married in the front yard of our very first house together!!! :):) We are still figuring out a date, cause its going to be before May 09, our original date, we just don't know when yet. But after this busy week, we can take some relaxation time and figure out a date that works for us! This week has been amazing, and oh yes, I have the start of our paperwork already in a folder that i entitled, "our first house" documents!!!!" I called Levi today to tell him about it and he just laughed! :) I took a few minutes to decipher what the best name would be for our folder, so there you have it! haha It made me sooo excited just writing our house in the same sentence!!! I can't wait to learn all the things that come along with being a homeowner and a WIFE!!!!!!!! And most importantly, I get to learn and experience all these wonderful adventures and life changing things with my partner, and my best friend. We always tell eachother that everything is a partnership between he and I in all that we do, and that is all that matters. I love that man soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much....he is truely amazing. :)

I am BEYOND ready to marry that man and finding this house was nothing short of a miracle. We are so thankful!!! I love this time in our lives. It is sooo exciting and it just feels great to make our own decisions together, and to make them as a team. The only opinions and concerns we have are with one another, and I think that with all that love and consideration for one another, our house will be the warmest and happiest place on earth!!!! :) Please say prayers that everything continues to run smoothly!!! :)

Thank you Lord for sending us this place!!!!! and Thank you for sending me such a wonderful life partner and best friend!!!! :)

SO ITS BEEN FOREVER & A DAY....!

So it has been forever and a day since I have written, and I do apologize for non-updates!!! This semester has been CRAZY busy, but in 4 more weeks, I will be almost done, and my darlin will be home for a while from school! YAY! :) I was so excited because I went to stay with him and lacie earlier in the week for a couple of days, and we had such a great time! He had to come back home during the middle of the week for his monthly drill date, and he will be qualifying for the rifle range. I pray he gets expert, because that is the class he really wants, and I know he can do it. I miss him Like CRAZY, (2 crazy's in one entry, boy u can see how busy my life is right now!! haha) but thankfully I just got to talk to him, and he will be coming home tomorrow night! :)

As of right now, I am about 5 weeks away from heading to Italy for 2 weeks for a class required for my major. Well, the Italy destination is not required, but it sounds much better if you say it is! :) I'm a little freaked out about the plane ride, but you know, overall, I know It will be such an AMAZING experience! I especially stoked because I am going to get to actually teach a lesson in an Italian school setting! YAY for some culture!!! Hopefully this experience will better my teaching, and help me learn so much more!

My papa celebrated his 80th bday today, and I was so thankful that God gave us another year with him. He is such a fabulous papa. I miss him so much, and I wish I could see him more than I do now. It's so hard with a busy lifestyle and especially rising gas prices to make trips 3 and 4 hours away to see my family. (even though my fiancee does it constantly, bless his heart) I have had guilt about that many a times, but I know in my heart that I do make the best of the opportunities I get to see my family, and phones are always available for usage, and I use them! :)

We are currently looking for houses and wedding sites, and nothing is set in stone yet. We have found a fabulous wedding site; however, and we found a precious little house last weekend that just struck us in a good way! I love the adventures we have together in starting our life together! It's amazing learning and exploring life changing steps with your life "partner" whom u love so much. I love having this time to be with one another and make big decisions between the two of us, and being a wife just makes me smile soooo BIG everytime I think about it, (which is many times throughout my day!) :):) But anyhow, I have been procrastinating a paper that I should have wrote earlier, so I reckon I will go try and get on that...or maybe I'll put if off one more day till tomorrow and go to sleep!?!?....oh life is good! :)
