Oops!

Guess it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I'm discovering that more people read my blog than I thought. Sorry! Well, Happy New Year!

Since I last wrote, I turned 28 years old, celebrated Christmas with both families (Christmas Eve with Walter's family, Christmas day with my family), and had an awesome New Year's Eve party at Walter's (soon-to-be "our") house. It was a blast and so fun to celebrate with our Growth Group. We are really blessed to have such a wonderful group of church friends.

Things are falling into place with the wedding plans -- less than two months! I'm looking for my Bridal Shower on January 28th. We just sent our invitations and we need to start planning our High School reception (and then mail those invitations). Walter and I both work with the High School Youth Group and want to invite all the students to the wedding, so we are having a separate reception for them. It will probably be Saturday, March 17th. I have to check it the church is available. It should be fun.

It seems like just the little things need to be done: flowers, etc. I do need to start figuring out the ceremony order. I'm not worried. Plus, my mom is doing an AWESOME job. I'm very blessed.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. And, once again, I will try to post sooner than later.

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...
