In the past seven months, Andrew and I have battled much with culture and its view on marriage and relationships. Movies, magazines, etc. etc. all project weddings as this unbelievable bliss. As a planner, I have had to wrestle a lot with my own expectations. I tell myself that things have to be a certain way and if they are not then it's a failure, which by the way is an absolute LIE!
We've been so encouraged by friends, our church, the WORD, parents, and so many others that speak God's truth into our lives. It's only when we/I open our eyes to that which is around us and get confused with the purpose, meaning and significance of love and marriage that things seem to go wrong.

Prayer Request for August
Dear Friends and Family,
Can you believe it's already August?! This month has just flown by.
Andrew and I had a pretty great yet very full weekend. We drove to Iowa City on Friday for a wedding of our good friends Jacqui and Seth Goertz. It was absolutely beautiful and we're so happy for them as they are just such a great great couple. We can't wait for them to get back from their honeymoon so we can hang out with them!!! :0)
As the summer is coming to a close, I am beginning to grow a bit restless. I am still waiting on a job. I would greatly appreciate your prayers for patience and faith that God will bring along the right thing at the right time. Pray that I would make wise decisions in what I pursue and that my application would fall into the hands of the right people. I have an application out right now that I would love to have work out. I've done all that I can do to pursue this position and now it is in God's hands.
Thank you to all of you who are praying. I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am for your thoughts and prayers.
