Live Like You're Dying

Being engaged is supposed to be one of the happiest times in your life right?  But not with out a little bit of stress...  SO I'm writing to remember the many blessings Cale and I have received while planning our wedding.  Because regardless of how much money you spend on your wedding, at the end of the day you're still going to be married and THAT'S WHAT SHOULD MATTER :) Many of my friends know my mom and step-dad lost their jobs as part of the Continental/ United merger, and before Christmas, my dad faithfully quit his position at his church.  So when Cale and I got engaged, we knew that we would be fronting the cost for the wedding.  The GREAT parts about this are that we were forced to have those difficult money talks before we were married, and (Dave Ramsey would be so proud) we are paying for our wedding in cash so we won't be in debt as we start our marriage! Now the best part has been watching God move and make things happen!  Here are just some of the ways

I can't believe it has taken me so long to write about the happiest day of my life (to date).  I got engaged to an amazing Godly man!  Ask any one who knows me and they'll tell you am passionate.  Two things I'm passionate about are my faith, and Texas A&M.  Cale combined the two of them into the best proposal I could have ever asked for! Well, I thought Cale and I went up to A&M for the weekend to celebrate with two of our friends for their birthday and to go to eat for our 5 month anniversary (for the record, Cale has celebrated every month anniversary).  So we packed up and left Houston Saturday morning for College Station.  Lucky for him, I accidentally played into his plan because I told him earlier that week I wanted to make sure I spent time with my girl friend, Shaye, for her birthday.  I called Shaye Thursday night to see what her plan was for the weekend and she said she just wanted to be lazy Saturday so we went up there and I had no makeup on.
