Deep thoughts

I have been thinking lately about how truly amazing the Lord is, and how I am here and exist and make it through each day. If it weren't for God, I wouldn't be able to make it. I would have no peace, no reassurance of a life hereafter, and no good earthly relationships. I have been reading a new devotional book over the past 10 days or so entitled A Call to Die. I know what you are thinking...what kind of book is that?!?! Well, it is a book that is about how we need to die to ourselves and our flesh daily so we can truly be alive in Christ. It presents some great scripture and applications and memory verses. One of the girls in the youth group at my church wanted to read it and asked me to read it with her. It is pretty amazing seeing young people fired up for Christ. I help out with the youth group at FBC, and last night at church they wanted to keep singing praise songs. How cool is that? It got me to thinking...am I always like that?

In other news, only 15 weeks left tell Matt comes home for good! YES!!!!!!  That is very exciting. We have so many fun trips planned for 2010. But while I'm waiting, I am still doing school work and hanging out with friends and family. One of my best friends, Danielle, and I are going to the Fox to see The Nutcracker! YAY! I've never seen a ballet or a musical before! I'm excited!  It is our little way of celebrating Christmas  together without the husbands. It should be fun! I'm so thankful for all my friends and family and church family. I am so blessed!

No Blog in FOREVER!!

Okay, so I am trying to get back into the blogging scene because I have been inspired by my friend, Danielle. Hopefully she will teach me a lot of new and cool things that I can add and do :-) Things are going great around these parts, and Matt is doing good. We had a great 15 day R & R together in October. Saying goodbye for the 2nd time was a lot harder than the first time, but I have gotten back into the grove.

I am still working on my Ed.s degree and will be done with that in May. I can't wait! That isn't the only thing I have to look forward to next year though. Matt will be home, and we will be building a new house!!!!! I am looking forward to what God has planned for us in the future!

Long time no blog

Wow, so it has been a while since I blogged. I guess you could say I got "blogged" down with everything that was going on in my life: school, work, hanging out with friends and family, etc. Life is good though. I am staying busy while Matt is preparing to go to Afghanistan. And I am finally going to get to see him for the first time in a few months before he leaves. Now, I have done this one other time, but we weren't married. I know this will be different, but I am so blessed to have such a good family, so many friends, and a good church family. I love hanging out with my new army ladies. They are all so awesome! And I am going to get a roomie while Matt is gone, Jenn. I am really excited about that. It should be fun. The puppies are doing great, but they miss Matt a lot. I know he misses them too. I can't wait to see Matthew!
