The Lord Answers Prayers...

The one question that Ryan & I constantly get is "Where are you going to live?" Well, we have not been able to give a solid answer until this week - Tuesday to be exact. I am moving to Trinidad, CO. Yup, you read that right! Due to budget cuts, I will not be teaching at ECA this year. Don't worry about it, this is the BIG picture that God has and an interesting way to answer the "where" question. ECA will always have a special place in my heart, but it is time for me to move on (literally too). I was talking to a wise man the other night and he reminded me that God IS IN CONTROL. And, then it dawned on me, that I was trying to control the living the situation. The wise man said that he could here it my voice a few weeks earlier, and I had to agree. Again, God reminded me of who is control - Him, not me. Remember, His plans are not always our plans. So...

Which brings me to this major announcement...Ryan and I have decided to move the wedding date to Saturday, October 4, 2008. What??? 1o weeks from July 26!!! YIKES!!!! Yup, since I am jobless and our relationship has been on the adventurous side, we decided, why not move it up? That means I am doing lots of planning in the next couple of weeks. Out of town guests, we will be letting you know about hotels very soon. And, for those who wanted to know (like my brothers), golfing will now be involved.

I am applying for a job down there. I am also looking at other options too. Still not sure when I'll be moving down there, but it won't be until September at the earliest.

Then there are the other questions I get so here are a few that I have some answers: "Where are you registered?" Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and in the next couple of days, Target and Walmart. "What are your colors?" Those are changing because of the season change (think fall for now). "What kind of flowers?" Again, changing because of the different time of year. If you have suggestions, I will take them. "Do you have your dress?" Yup. "Will knickers be worn?" Umm, the answer is still no! (Ryan has no say in this anymore, John Maday!)

If you think your head is in a spin, try being in mine or Ryan's. We know that God is working and we just have to trust Him.
