Teddy and I after the ceremony
absolutely love this picture!! :) the newlyweds
best friends for a LONGGG while :)
whoops....life started picking up & I dropped off this blogging world. lots of business has been occurring lately. let me catch you up!
my roommates are home now! We packed up everything and moved into a new place. It's been kind of crazy trying to get everything taken care of. We call this our big girl apartment because it's not furnished & no longer in student living. i'm very pleased so far. I mean the apt. is a tad run down, but the space is AMAZING. All 3 of our rooms are a good size & our living room is huge! :) only downer so far is that I bought a brand new couch & love seat from Ashley's furniture back in April. Well we had them delivered today & the couch wouldn't fit into the door. It's one of the longest couches ashley's has....so now I'm trying to find a place to store that baby until I move again. I have my love seat here..so that's better then nothing. We are going to try and find some other sitting something. we will see.
Lori, my best friend got married on august 1st. it was such a blast to be apart of that wedding & to watch her marry the man she is in LOVE with. :) she looked freaking unbelievable that day, just like a bride should be. the reception was such a blast. lots of fun dancing occured then. i wish i had more opportunities to dance with Teddy. i LOVE LOVE dancing with him. it is seriously one of my favorite things to do with him.
Mary, my best friend has been here the past month recovering from breaking her leg in Russia. It has been wonderful having her around. i really don't realize how much i miss her until she is gone. Russia is her home. I have come to grips with this & totally supportive of her being there because she loves it. I love her passion for that city. I've also really enjoyed serving her. I feel like i can be a selfish person a lot....but being a bridesmaid & having a best friend with a broken right foot (who can't drive) can teach you a lot about yourself. Not saying that I'm not selfish any longer, because I certainly am. But I feel like the Lord is growing me through all this....and I'm not even the one who is broken. The Lord is good. :)
we start work next week. it's kinda crazy to me how quickly this summer has flown by. i mean seriously. i feel like it was just yesterday I was crying & crying about leaving Teddy for 2 months...and now I've been in Lubbock for almost a month.
Teddy & I have a big day soon. Our lovely one year anniversary is going to occur on August 14th. I still can't believe it's been that long already. However, it feels like we have been dating for much longer. i can't wait to start a future together. :) His birthday is 4 days after that.
He makes me so proud. He passed his EMT class & this past Monday he started fire academy. Things are definitely falling into place for him. I still can't believe how hard it is to get into academy now-a-days. In Dallas they had 2,000 ppl tryout and only 25 get in. Here there were 100 that tryed & only 30 made it. Considering the type of day Teddy had when he was taking the test for acceptance, it's by the Lord's grace he made it. He will be done with academy in January & applying for departments in Feb/March. He is on a fast track to a career & success. He is going to be a great, hardworking, determined fire fighter. I can't wait to support him in all his endevors.
