Long time, no talk!!

WOW...it has been a VERY long time since I have written on this blog. I've wanted to update for SO many months.

Since my last post...I've gotten married and that was SO much fun! Our planning, and preparation and the day itself were all FULL of Liz Winks and blessings from heaven! What a wonderful angel/saint we have in Liz. She and God always show us they are right there helping me and Aaron along the way. It brings a huge sense of peace and fulfillment.
Our honeymoon was spent in Mexico and we had a beautiful time. The weather was GREAT and so was the food (and ofcourse the company of my husband!)! :) We can't wait to go back. I'm sure we will go back...not sure when, though.
Other than that, our company has been bought out. There have been several changes and I'm thankful that I have my job still. There has been no word on the status of my job/position, but for now, I'm "safe"...which is great. It's been a little stressful dealing with those issues, but now that I'm married, I really don't stress/worry too much about my job. I have SO many blessings that this is just a bump in the road that I will get through no matter what the result. :)

Well, I hope to update again VERY soon (maybe this week, even)!!! Good-bye for now! :)

SO much to update on...........

Well, now that I finally have a moment to update my life, I sit and wonder where do I begin.

I went to ND the 6th-14th of October and that was a great time! That stay was great as always. I drove there, which was really nice because I had my own vehicle during my stay, which allowed me to go and visit several people. One very special thing I got to do during my stay was vist Grand Forks. That was the first I had been there since graduation (2005). All I can say is WOW...that place has grown! During my day in Grand Forks, I went to visit my friend, Liz, grave site. My blog spot is named after Liz (well, it's really named after her "Liz Winks", but you get my drift). After I got done at the cemetary, I got to meet Liz's mom for supper. This was SO special. We laughed, cried, etc etc. Let me tell you....Peg (Liz's mom) is one special lady. I see so clearly where Liz got her strength and personality from.

The rest of my stay in ND was spent with family. I had a GREAT time with the family. I didn't have time to see all my friends, which made me sad, but I know that we are coming back for Christmas...so that will be our chance to visit a few more friends during that time...hopefully.

Now, onto some VERY big news....I got a PROMOTION at work!!!! It is VERY exciting and VERY unexpected. It's a GREAT new challenge, and I'm up for it!!

I ended up getting sick this weekend, so I have been laying low all weekend so I can be ready for work tomorrow!!!!

Well, it's time to sign off. Take care all and have a great week!!!

We are getting a YARD!!!

So...for those of you that have been to my house, you will realize that it was a true bachelor pad before I came into the pic and into Aaron's life! Well, for like the last year (or more) I have been bugging Aaron for a yard (grass, etc), so that the house doesn't look so run down (it is only 4 years old afterall...but it looks much older than that just because there is no yard). SO...Aaron is getting the sod TOMORROW for our front yard! I am SO excited for this!!!

That is about the biggest news I have...I think, anyway. Our wedding website is still in the works, but when it gets done, I will send out a mass email with the link to the website.

One week from tomorrow, I will be heading to North Dakota for a few days (well, until the 14th of October to be exact). It will be a long vacation, but that's what I need to do so that I can see all my family. It should be fun, and hopefully it won't be snowing by then!

Well, it's time to close. There wasn't much to write...and if I think of something else...I will let you all know! :) Until then...take care and much love to all who read this site!!! :)

Walking in Faith and Not in Fear.....
