Weddings and things!

So life has been crazy! I have little to know money, one roommate just moved out, another is moving in slowly.

At this point I have my dress!!! It was God send really. A BSF lesson helped me to remember to call out to God when I can't sleep at night. Before bed I had already known about Formal Couture's sale from facebook and had called my mother about it. She agreed that we could look.

That night after talking to my mom I went to bed. Not for long though, I ended up waking stressed and unable to go back to sleep. This time I remembered the lesson and called to God asking him to take this from me and let me sleep.

Soon after asking I did fall back asleep! The next morning we went to the shop and I had a blast trying on dresses. When I got to the fourth one I was done I didn't care about any other dresses. At this point Laura, the consultant, told me not to worry about the price at this point I panicked. The total of the dress was 1495 before taxes. However with the sale the dress was only $85.00!!!! The moral of this story is that God really does have control of my future!

Sadly I went blank after I decided on the dress I had never thought beyond getting the dress. I was unable to make any decisions after this point. One of my bridesmaids was there Becca Anderson, and we had a blast she could talk for me when I could not.

I also currently have the church, for free, my flower girls and I have chosen what I want their dresses to look like. I also have 25 table and I need chairs. I have so much to do and I am excited to hang out with my mom soon after Lizzy goes home.

I babysit her for a few hours every Wednesday morning. We have had fun so far too! I took her out and we threw snowballs watched Beauty and Beast, and we watched Youtube videos of flower girls walking down the aisle.

Well this is all for now I don't post often but this really should be my vent spot.

Just another day

I am sitting here watching House with my Fiance. Life is good. He tells me everyday how much I mean to him. I have no idea what I have done to deserve him. Even when things are at the worst he can make things seem okay. I can be totally freaking out over money, the house, things we need. I broke down crying this week and he held me, kissed me, and told me that everything would be okay.

I don't know if I will ever get the wedding that I have dreamed of since I was like 13 but I sure look forward to getting to spend the rest of my life with him. On October 17th he is doing something that is beyond anything I could have dreamed of. I prayed and hoped for someone to due this but to have it happen is just awesome! He is joining my church, well doing the New Member's class. I don't expect him to get baptized at least not this soon anyway. That is a huge commitment but still I am so proud of him. Well I am going back to House and sitting with my my Fiance.

G'night all.

My life.

Well the Wedding planning is at a halt right now. Really I have done nothing but throw around ideas at this point. I wonder if financially ia June Wedding is possible. We shall see. Scott has moved in with me its been wonderful so far. I don't know what i would do with out him in my life. He drives me crazy yet I still want to hold his hand, kiss him, hug him. Every day is better then the last. We have virtually no money and it does not matter. Sure i still worry about things but he is teaching to be patient, to just let things go. I love him with all my heart.

The apartment is still a mess boxes everywhere. I can't seem to make them go away and just when I get close I find another one. Its like my organization skills have failed me. I am still self conscious about life and where its going. I worry that i might not ever have the money to go back to school. I think that I am too personal to be a teacher. By personal I mean I take things to heart. My emotions get in the way. I don't want to stay at Winco forever but I don't think I will make a good teacher. I wish I could look into the future just a little to see where my life is heading. However if I did that then where is the fun in life? I like knowing that there is and unknown out there. Scott was an unknown. best thing to ever happen to me!

Mary comes home today I can't wait to see her. 13 years of ups and downs and friends and she is still me number 1 girl. she'll be here in two hours after I post this post.

The Engagement Tale!!!

It all began with whining about banana pudding and the lack of finding a measuring cup.

One night it was decided that Scott & Amanda were going to have banana pudding. The reality is Scott wanted it and Amanda was making it-isn't that they way things seem to go?

As Amanda was happily making the pudding she couldn't find a measuring cup. Calling out to Scott, who was looking for a DVD in his living room, asking for a measuring cup Amanda gets an interesting response. Silence.

Scott hurries to the kitchen and shoos Amanda out while he searches. Amanda is calling out that she can just eyeball how much water is needed and that it isn't a big deal. Scott however is determined to search and not have Amanda in the kitchen. Obviously, you know where this is going however poor Amanda was clueless.

Scott tells her it is okay for her to come in the kitchen. Turns out he did not have a measuring cup and he just used a 16 oz cup for the water and took over making the banana pudding. That was not okay by Amanda who again insisted she could have just eyeballed it.

After completing the pudding, Scott laid out four Gladware containers and handed Amanda the box of Nilla Wafers; which she in turn slammed down on the stove.

"I can make this the best banana pudding ever," said Scott.

"Nothing can make this the best banana pudding ever," Amanda replied as she turned around and found Scott with a ring box and getting down on one knee.

Stunned Amanda said, "I was wrong, this is the best banana pudding ever!" (Scott has definitely found a keeper-a woman who admits when she is wrong!)

"Amanda, will you marry me?"

"YES!!" Emphasized with the a kiss.

Amanda even managed to barrel through and eat banana pudding with Scott. The next day he found out she hates banana pudding.

Written for Amanda & Scott with love from Becca.

Engagment!

So its official Scott asked me to marry him. I love him with all my heart and NOTHING will change that EVER!

A New Beginning

On May First 2010 I graduated from Concordia University in Portland Oregon with a Bachlor's degree Education.

I then moved back home and in with my parents in Kennewick Washington.
