I’m getting married!  Soon!  (There’s no date yet…but it will be within 2011!)

So crazy how God works.  9 months ago I had a completely different plan. 

God quickly showed me that He was better.

Better than my plan.

What do you know?  The Creator of the Universe can plan my life better than me! :)

I met my sweet Joshua in a class online this summer.  We never met in person and knew nothing about one another…Then this Fall, we had a class in person together.  I was pretty much not interested in getting in another serious relationship after having my heart broken pretty badly but God quicly showed me that there was something special about Josh.  He got up the guts to ask me out and we started spending time together.

…and last night he asked me to be his wife.

Things haven’t been perfect by any means and in our short 6 months of dating we’ve had our fair share of trying times and difficult conversations BUT also through these short 6 months I have grown to know a love that I’ve never known before.  I know what it’s like to feel accepted and cared for even when I mess up and I know what it’s like to not be able to imagine life with anyone else and not to want to…and most importantly through Josh’s love I’ve learned even more what God’s love must be like.  I think that says a lot about who Josh is and how special he is to me and those around him.

So…I will pause here in my excitement as to not make this post too long but stay tuned for the engagement story! :)
