ahhh

Well guys I made it through my first checkoffs AND my first test. The knot in my stomach and the my shaking hands are gone. Praise my Sweet Lord! I Passed! It feels good to know that all the studying and preparation I put in paid off.

This weekend will hopefully include some relaxation. I am looking forward to it for sure. Not too much has happened since last time. I went to North's first game and saw Jessi cheer and perform at halftime. She did great. Oh and we WON the first game. Exciting? Very much so. Later that night, I got to catch up with some friends from high school. It was so good. I missed those girls. I don't think we got much sleep for all the talking! Love it!

The second BSU was tonight. We had 160ish people there. Also, there were three young men that came to know our Lord. Thank you Father for their new faith in You. It was so awesome. I know He has big plans for this semester, and I am so excited. Please pray for the leadership team, that we will continue to pray and prepare for the weekly services. Our goal is to have so much growth that we have two services. May He continue to bless.

I know that many of you are in the full swing of classes now. Good luck with that my friends.

Love and God Bless.

One week down

This week was crazy. I jumped head first into my first week of nursing school. WOW! It is so fast paced and I can not believe that it is here. I love it though. I feel like for the first time in my education career I am doing what I love and I am actually learning things. Work is great too. I really love my job. Being a CNA is not easy but I am building some great skills for my nursing career.

Wedding Plans.

I have met with the lady that is doing our flowers. Her name is Gina by the way. I don't think I said that before. Anyway. We looked through all my crazy ideas and narrowed it down. I think we are pretty much on the way to having an awesome wedding. :D I am glad that we got that out of the way. I guess the only big thing left is deciding who to put in the wedding. That will come later though. We are continuing to count down the days. Thomas starts school Monday so we will have a very busy routine for a while.

Have a great weekend.

God Bless!

288 days.

Blog Change

Finally I have internet at my apartment. Hopefully I can update this blog more often. We shall see. I want to write about wedding planning stuff on here. I will post pictures of things that I like and might want to use. Feel free to comment and tell me what you think. I am going to meet with the lady that is going to do our flowers on Saturday. I am nervous and excited. The planning process is really underway!

School started back today. Nursing school is going to be fast paced but I am ready for it. Today was really good. I made it through my first lecture. It almost seems unreal that I am finally doing what I have dreamed of for so long. My puzzle pieces are coming together, and yet I know that I am only seeing a corner of what God has prepared for me.

Thomas and I will be getting married in 295 days. I am starting to freak out a bit because it's less than ten months. But I am so in love with that boy. We have been through so much together. I am so excited to plan for this wedding and prepare for our future together. October will be 7 years since he asked me to be his girlfriend. My how time flies. The wedding will be here before we know it. I hope I can successfully plan and work and go to school. :O

Here are some of the things that we have decided:

Date & Time: June 4 2011 @ 4 pm

Color- mermaid

Flowers- pink, orange, and yellow Gerber daisies

We are planning on getting married at Thaxton Baptist Church and then having the reception at the gym. That is pretty much it right now. The wedding party list is still incomplete. But as soon as that is settled (it will be a while) I will post it.

The pictures below are some ideas that I have for bouquets and centerpieces for the reception.

I like this for the bridesmaids. I don't know

if I want to do something that big though.

This could be the centerpiece for

the food tables.

I am thinking this is what

I want my bouquet to look like.

I really like the colors and way its put together.

I think this would be really cute

on the reception tables.

I like this one a lot for the bridesmaids.

It's simple and cute.

This is the link for the bridesmaid dress. I couldn't get the picture to work.

The color is the very last one on the top row. It is called Mermaid.

Until the next time.

God Bless.

295 until Mrs Thomas Chandler
