We had out engagement pictures taken today! It was really fun. Chelsey did a great job making us comfortable and she was really encouraging. Rafa said he was not used to being on this side of the camera and I was nervous, but the shoot went great and I think the pictures will turn out fantastic. I'll post a link when we get it!
My heart is full
I am so full of love tonight. I am so full of love because Rafa and I were part of the privileged audience at church tonight where two wonderful men were officially recognized as pastors of our church. Our church has been around for 10+ years. The goal that whole time has been to teach people how to live for Christ, a.k.a. to make disciples. The men who became pastors.. Read More
The Ninjas are Coming
It’s 93 days until the wedding, but we have another countdown going – only 28 days until the opening of Ninja Assassin!
Oink for me
One of the things we discussed tonight in Fit to be Tied was what love is. First, what it isn’t: a feeling, sex, emotions… all those things that it’s commonly mistaken as. Love is a commitment. When Rafa and I talk about commitment, we talk about pigs. Rafa oinks for me; I oink for him. Let me explain – back when we were both in Distribution, we enjoyed colorful quotes.. Read More
Hola Canada
We just got back from a fabulous trip to visit Rafa’s family in Canada. It was so fun! Their home is so cozy and filled with love. It is also filled with delicious food…I got spoiled by the huevos y frijoles negros for breakfast on Saturday. Today, we had a late breakfast of pupusas y flan de queso! Other than eating, we had so much fun just hanging out. We.. Read More
When We Met
It was a day like any other at Target Distribution Communications, I was seating in my gray and purple cubicle plugging away. Amy R. was going around introducing her new direct report. I could hear the commotion coming from a couple rows away. To be honest I didn’t really care about new team members, I was in a team of 99% diverse women. Sarah claims that we had met in.. Read More
Two years ago
When I opened up my One Year Bible this morning, Oct. 22 had a big circle around it and a note about 2007. I received the Bible as a gift from my then-small group leader, Deb, and began reading through it on Oct. 22, 2007. I have read through the Bible twice now! It is crazy to think of it like that, because the Word always seems fresh to me… Read More
The rest of the story…
I had to check with Rafa before I told the funny part of our mentor meeting publicly 🙂 Last night, our mentors asked us if we were waiting to have sex until we are married, and we said yes. Then Dan made a comment about our wedding night. Rafa said, “No, lunch,” as in, we are having a lunch reception so we don’t have to wait until our wedding night… Read More
Squash and Mentors
We met with our awesome mentor couple, Dan and Kita, last night. They just celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary and have a lot of wisdom about growing closer as a couple and growing closer to the Lord. They are wonderful teachers and examples. They are also good friends and just really fun to be around 🙂 Kita made us a delicious dinner of catfish and acorn squash. It was Rafa’s.. Read More
Shopped and dropped
I found my dress! Mom came up to go shopping with Jennifer and I. We started the morning with two appointments. The first one went pretty well. When we started driving to the second one, we saw a place just down the street and decided to stop because we had enough time. They were super nice there and had a ton of great dresses – and I found several I.. Read More
