Rainy Showers, Bridal Showers

The rain is coming down hard and it is very dark out which makes me not want to do anything all day. But, I still got up and gave my presentation to my renaissance literature class today and I will probably still go running this afternoon...if it is not pouring rain.
Timaree, Simon's Mom threw me a bridal shower this weekend, which was amazing. I felt so incredibly loved by all those church ladies. I got pans and bath stuff, and napkins and christmas plates...I could probably keep up the ands for awhile. I also found out another surprise at shower, my parents are moving to Kansas City because my Dad got a job there. A lot of crazy things happening in the life of my family but its really good news for my parents because my Dad has been out of a job for so long. My mom was the happiest I have ever seen her that saturday and Andrew called me last night to tell me they sold the house which is really great also. I hope everything keeps working out for them and this has definetly given my family a renewed sense of hope. So many things have happened in the last few weeks that has shown me that God is there and really cares about us...I could probably go on for days!!! I will post again soon...

Wedding Registries and Nice Weather

I have spent the last two hours of work researching wedding registries..which may seem a little ridiculous. But there is not a lot to do here and hey I want to get some good stuff when Simon and I get married. I am not sure if good stuff includes a spoon rest but it definetly includes a Kitchenaid mixer that I have no idea how to use. It is absolutely gorgeous out which makes me very excited because spring is just around the corner. I can't wait because then comes summer and our wedding...which means a huge party where I will look extremely hot and starting a family with Simon. I am so excited to live in a tiny apartment, finish school, find a job and spend our lives together. It's kind of crazy because a new phase of life is starting....it might be hard at times, but overall I think it will be good.

When you trust God he gives you tampons

Ok, so my past week has been crappy...probably more than crappy, shitty would probably best describe it. Between finanacial problems, my Mom being her crazy self and school I was pretty much ready to give up last week. But on Saturday I decided to live in reality and face all the shit going on (because it's not going anywhere) and deal with it. This is a hard revelation for me even though it might seem quite simple for a lot of people, mainly because I like to hide from hard things in my life, I like to forget about them and then never touch them again. Now, I have to remember each day that they are there and slowly deal with them.
This has taken a lot of trust and dependence for me(and we are only 4 days into the whole deal) But I wanted to share something cool that happened today that might seem fairly insignificant and maybe a little weird. So money is really tight...I'm having problems figuring out how to pay my school bill, which leads to problems about buying groceries...etc. But Friends, have been great, countless people have bought meals for me, Meg, my roommate bought me some groceries and two of my favorite junk foods..twizlers and doubled stuf oreos:) and everyone has spent countless hours just hanging out to be there for me. I can honestly say my friends are probably the greatest in the world!
So lately I have been eating lunch at Alpha Chi, which is good because it saves me money in other areas but I debated not eating there today because I didn't really like the lunch they were having but as I was about to leave, two of the girls in my house were getting pink packages out of a box. Well I went over to investigate and they were tampon samples...ok so this may seem weird but it was exciting for me, because they were my favorite brand AND they were free AND I needed them AND I was just thinking about this morning how I needed some.
Needless to say it may have not been a God thing but it was a definite God thing for me. Maybe tomorrow God will provide deoderant?
