Life Moves On

It just seems like no matter how much I would love to stop and smell the roses, life passes on by leaving me in the dust left to wonder "what about yesterday?!" Life is wonderful and that's that. I couldn't imagine myself to be happier at this present moment. I never knew that a life like this existed. I am grateful for the changes that have recently taken place in life and embrace many more to come. In fact, I'm in need of another change quite soon.
One thing I have noticed in the past few months is how my view on time has significantly changed compared to my waiting days. I wanted those days to move incredibly fast and wanted to for each day to pass by before it really began. Now... I'm clutching on to slow days and wanting the hours to creep by ever so slowly. I have taken a liking to not rushing from one moment to the next... instead I like to watch the clouds pass by, look at my hibisucs plant sprout new growth, and craft breads that take hours to proof and bake. I'm dabbing into new hobbies, reading more about everything of my interests, fortifying my strengths and developing my weaknesses. I'm realizing what it is to become an adult. Becoming my own person. I have a new name and a new beginning. I'm realizing my worth as a woman, a cook, and a wife. I have been blessed with many gifts and talents, of which, I'm just now seeing the full potential. I'm bound to do great things... if I will only let myself and not subcumb to my fears. I'm living for me and that makes me the happiest.
Life is moving on... and I'm loving every minute of it.

After the Trial of Faith

It's been FOR-EV-er since I have been able to post for you darling blog stalkers of mine. Wedding planning is quite the second job to take up... I'm so glad to have one job once more. However, this whole process has been an amazing learning experience and truly has become a window into our souls. I have truly learned how much he loves me and how willing he is to do anything for me. How anxious he is to make me happy and how that joy fuels any and everything he has in his life. My fiance has truly been an amazing blessing in my life. Waiting for him was worth every tear shed, worry eever worried, and heart race experienced.
In the beginning of my engagement, I was soooo worried if I had made the right decision; if marriage was really what was right for me and for us. This is one choice that must not be taken lightly and I was worrying myself sick over it. Over time though, with Taylor's patience, love, and understanding, I began to finally see that this trial was a blessing in disguise. The past month and a half have really brought me closer to my Father in Heaven and to my Sweetheart. I've learned what path was right for me and to be confident in the choices I have made. Things have unnaturally fallen into place as far as wedding planning has gone; bargains have been reached, deals have been found, favors have been extended... it's been incredible.
Taylor has been a very active participant in wedding planning since I work full time; it has been amazing what that has done for me. We had begun to worry that he wasn't working for the past 2 1/2 months since he's been home and how are we going to afford to live together after the wedding if he doesn't work?! but we have come to learn that we needed to trust in the Lord that if getting married was what we needed to do, that all would work out. And today... Taylor is starting work! I can't even begin to get used to all of the blessings we've been given but it's been a testament to my faith and the placement of it.
I am truly the luckiest girl in the world to have the fiance that I do have. He has been an angel in my life and I don't know where I'd be without him. Less than a month until I become his wife for time and eternity... I don't know how I was deemed worthy of this but I'm liking this!
