It just gets better and better

It really hasn't been that long, but so much has happened.

I started work at Livingstone and absolutely LOVE it. I enjoy the people and everything that I am doing. They give me a variety of work and I am staying busy.

Things with Walter are going really well and I spend almost all of my free time with him. Last Saturday, he came with me to my parents' house to color Easter eggs with my family. We really had a lot of fun. Little did he know that my family has a hard core egg coloring competition. (Nate always wins).

Walter and I went to the Chicago Cubs home opener and saw an almost perfect game played. It was awesome. Last year, every game I went to the Cubs lost, so things are looking better for this year. I am in a little bit of a phunck now that Derrick Lee is hurt. Note to the wise, don't talk about it. I just get depressed.

After talking about the Cubs, you're gonna be a little shocked, but Walter and I (along with our friends Lauren and Bryan) went to a Chicago White Sox game last night. I know, I know. In some ways, I feel like I've betrayed my Cubbies. But, after being a Cubs fan, I am a Chicago fan. Plus, it's a baseball game -- how could I say no? Anyway, it was still a lot of fun and I enjoyed spending time with everyone.

Also, we have a new Senior Pastor at my church. Chris Hodge started with us on April 1st and had done amazing things. He and his family are wonderful and we are so blessed. Praise God!

Well, that's it for right now. My cousin's wife, Courtney, got in a bad accident last week and is still in the hospital, so please keep her in your prayers. You can read more about it at my cousin's website: http://veerman.mark/blog Thanks for your prayers.

Dana,
Great update! And don't worry, no one will hold going to a Sox game against you, so long as you're still a Cubs fan!!
I miss Chicago spring. Enjoy it! I'm so happy for you. Hope to see you when we visit in May!
Love,
Manda

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

Simple and Sweet

So, Saturday I found and bought my wedding dress (no, I am not posting any pictures). Monday, I found my bridesmaids' dresses. Yea! It's all coming together. I still don't have any pictures to post. I tried to post one, but it didn't work. So, I have to find a different picture. I'll try to do it soon. Sorry!

A Legacy of Mothers

In honor of Mother's Day, I've decided to write about the amazing mothers that are a part of my family: 1. Helen Elizabeth Veerman (Grandma Veerman) Most of what I know about my Grandma Veerman are the stories that I have heard. You see, my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimers when I was five years old. All of my memories are a poor picture of the woman she was. Helen Elizabeth (known to her friends as Betty) was an amazing homemaker and cook. She raised five beautiful children (four of them boys -- one of them my dad -- so you know she's a saint ;) ) and had a long loving marriage with Marvin. I know she was an amazing mother, because she raised my dad, who is pretty awesome. :) She passed away when I was 13 and I look forward to when I meet her in heaven and learn who she really is, not the Alzheimers version. 2. May Bright (Grandma Bright) When I think of my Grandma Bright, I think of laughter. Why? Because she was so funny and fun to be around. I...
