3 weeks and a birthday :)

Celebrated 21 years of life and 3 weeks of marriage saturday. I must say that I had a pretty good couple of days. My parents and grand parents have been camping at trace lake. So Thomas and I went out there and grilled out this weekend. We had a blast. Thomas rode the intertube for the first time. He loved it! I forsee many more trips in our future. There will be pictures up on facebook soon so check those out.
A bit of praise--I got accepted into Surgical Technology school. I am beyond excited. This is what I have always wanted to do. Surgery is my thing and I am super pumped about being accepted. Thomas and I have some major changes ahead of us. Prayers would be appreciated.
We along with our college sunday school class are going to key west florida for a ten days. We will be leaving on Thursday morning. I am so excited! I love serving God and people. I just know He has big things prepared for us. I just pray that we have open minds and hearts and humble working spirits for this trip!! It will be a long drive down there--18 hours I believe. I am ready to go though. I will blog about that when we get back.

Hope all is well.
God Bless

From the mind of a newlywed

Well ladies and gentlemen I have been a married woman for two solid weeks. It has been the happiest two weeks of my entire life. I am a very happy lady. I do believe that Thomas and I are soul mates. I am so happy to have that man as my husband. We are all moved into our little apartment in Fulton. Everything is put into its place and most of the place is decorated. I must say I like it. I still feel like I am just playing dress up like when I was a little girl. The only difference is that it keeps going on every morning I wake up to this amazing man. I am telling you girls it is worth the wait. I would not trade what Thomas and I share for anything in the world.
The wedding went beautifully. We were truly blessed. The reception went pretty good aside from the intense heat. But honestly at that point I was so full of happiness that it just didnt matter. I was smiling ear to ear. It doesn't seem like it should all be over already. But it is. The stress levels have gone way down since the wedding. So for those of you out there wedding planning...you will survive!!
The honeymoon to destin was awesome. I had never been to the actual beach before. It was beautiful and we had such great weather. We got to do a little shopping and we ate at most of the good resturants (Fudpuckers, Bubba Gump, Longhorn Steakhouse, Cheeseburger in Paradise). We ate a ton of really good food. I really enjoyed the time for just us to relax on the beach. We certainly earned some time away for rest. I did not want to come back to the awful Mississippi heat. But here we are...officially starting our lives together.

I love being married.
Until next time.
God Bless.
