My Husband....The Man He Must Be

All girls have their own little fancies of their future spouses, like what they will look like, talk like, and even dress like.
 We lay on our beds and dream of how wonderful he will treat you, how he will open doors for you, talk to you like you were a queen worth serving...
 And those things aren't so bad to hope and dream for, right?
But the other night, I realized there is something much more important.
 And so I decided to make up my own little "list" of my future husband 'requirements'.
The man I marry must be polite, kind, caring, and considerate.
 He must treat his mother and father with love and respect, his siblings as his dear friends, do well with babies and little kids.
But most of all, he must love God with all his heart, mind and soul.
 He must be able to sit down with my parents and other elders, speak truthfully and from his heart about his faith and his Lord, without embarrassment or hesitation, and truly, truly, believe what he is saying.
 He must look to Jesus Christ as his Savior and Redeemer and have the Holy Spirit within him.
He must be able to encourage me in my faith, uplift me, and with God's help, I pray I can do the same for him.
 These things are important to both God and to me, and this what I pray for each night before I close my eyes to dream.
 A man who has the love of God within his heart.
Just some thoughts tonight. :) I hope you enjoy.
                                                                 God's peace,

A Picture Post...Again!

Ah, the romance! Kaysha and Roger's wedding was absolutely beautiful and wonderful, and it will now have a place in my heart for all of my cherished memories.
 Serving the bridal table wasn't too bad, and I actually kind of enjoyed it. :)
Kaysha looked like Cinderella, Roger was the perfect prince charming, and they both looked so happy, it was the best wedding I have attended in a long time! :D
 Now that all of the hustle and bustle is over, I can get back into a regular schedule.
Last Saturday we were pleasantly surprised by my dear friend Kimberly!
 She is staying with us for two whole weeks, and I am so excited to have her for a while. :)
The guys helping out with the decorations

We filled all of these cages and lanterns with flowers and candles

So fairytale-ish! :) Love

 
The big day! Marita was a huge reason the wedding was possible and I think she did a wonderful job as personal attendant :) She deserves a medal!
Oh, Kaysha is so lovely, isn't she? *sigh* She was a beautiful bride, and Roger was so proud


Liberty caught the bouquet :)
 
Saying goodbye, and then they're off!

These girls are wonderful! :) Such good memories
 
Yeah, I know it's a random picture to post! ;) But when this pulled up next to us at Freddie's, I was ecstatic! Just had to share with you all! ;)


The awesome sunglasses that my sweet brother bought me for Christmas :) 
Isn't he just the best?

Beautiful view on the drive home....Oh, I love living here!
 

Kimberly surprised us all with a visit, and we got to keep her for two weeks!

Burgerville! Kimberly always requests to go there for lunch since they don't have one in Cheney

After church we went shopping at the mall
 
Kimberly asked to see the ocean before she left, so the next Sunday we headed to the beach after church
 
 
It was a BEAUTIFUL day, and the drive was gorgeous :)
 
Since Daminika posted more of the beach, I wasn't going to put up any pictures of the trip. :)
Some other things that have been happening....I passed my drive and am now a licensed driver!
 Yay! Applause all around! ;)
 I can't even tell you what a load it is off of my mind to have it done and over with. :) Stress gone in a second.
 Well, I can't think of anything else to say right now. So, I'll be seeing you all later! ;)
 
                                                           God's peace,
