Worst Blogger Ever!

I really do suck at this blogging thing. I don't know how the rest of you post so often. I'm lucky to find time to spend updating my blog. Of course, that is because I spend all of my spare time with Walter. :) What can I say? I'm in love!

This past weekend I was in DC working a booth for Livingstone at the DCLA 2006 conference. I had a wonderful time. I always enjoy working the booths. We travel to the DCLA conference in Anaheim, CA in August. My youth group was there as well, so I got to spend some time with them. I have the most phenomenal group and I wish I could have spent more time with them. I'm thankful for the little time I did spend with the group.

I'm heading to Denver this Sunday-Wednesday for the CBA (Christian Booksellers Association) convention for work. It should be fun, although I will miss Walter a lot.

I should post pictures, but that requires me to do even more work, so for right now, you'll just have to enjoy the writing part only.

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you! I've started boxing! It is so much fun and such a great workout. I don't spar at all, I just do the rest of the workout. I've been wanting to box for the past few years, but could never find a place to do it. My friend, Jen, took me to a place nearby where she boxes and I signed up immediately. I've been doing it for about a month now and LOVE it! It's a good addition to my running -- I needed something for my upper body.

Well, that's all for now. I'll write more later (but, I'm not promising when). :)

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 ...

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.

I'M ENGAGED!!!

Saturday night, on top of the John Hancock building in downtown Chicago, Walter asked me to marry him! I said, "Of course I will." The ring is absolutely gorgeous!! It's exactly what I wanted. (We didn't go ring shopping, but I gave him hints of what I wanted). It's a platinum solitare princess (square) cut one carat diamond. I'll take a picture of it and try to post it for you. It looks like our wedding date is Friday, March 2. I have to double check on some things, but most likely, that is the date. Here's the story: Walter was really low key about everything. We had already planned to go to Chicago that day to the Lincoln Park Zoo. I had never been there and we have a list of things we want to do. So, he picked me up at 11:30am on Saturday. He surprised me with a dozen+ (actually 14) red roses. We headed to Chicago and the zoo. Afterwards, we went to Frontera Grill where I have really wanted to go. It's incredibly difficult to get in, so he had call...
