Strawberries & bouquets

Hello my Lovelies! :)

Sorry so long!

Terrible blogger...not that anyone really reads this! I definitely need to step my game up! :)

I will do better.

This is going to be a short one- I have a fantastic bed and book waiting. Can't wait. (closet nerd alert!)

So I went to Shreveport the weekend before last with my mom, dad and grandparents. We had fun (I am a terrible gambler- way too greedy, thus I lose!) but the BEST part was when my mom and I came up to the hotel room and I had chocolate covered strawberries waiting for me! From Scott!! Who was nowhere NEAR Shreveport!! Wow. My heart actually beat harder and my pupils dilated (So my mom says) and I had a crazy aching to be in this man's arms.

So this is what love is supposed to feel like.

How different from the passionate, fleeting, jealous, impure, lustful love that we are taught to look for. How pure, holy and....right this is. It's breathtaking and amazing to know that Jesus is behind it all. Without him...we simply wouldn't BE.

THIS past weekend Scott and I were so crazy busy! We went to Relay for Life (an awesome cause! and THANK YOU for those of you who donated, ya'll are amazing!) until 4 am, crashed and then hit up Mindy's wedding.

It was so fun- beautiful, pure, Christ-centered! She made an incredible bride. I have a lot to live up to.

Since Mindy and her man are both Asian we got to have a really fun 10 course Asian meal- we even got the chopstick thing down (well...at least I did!!)

We had a total blast hanging out with work people- and the kicker was I caught the bouquet (number two since we've been together!) and he caught the garter. Hmmm....what's up with that? :)

Oh and we danced a bunch- so fun!!! :)

So that was exciting. Then we went to Scott's dad's church Sunday morning- it was their one year anniversary of being a church! Yay Keystone! :) It was so cool- I got to meet so many nice people- hopefully I can remember every one's names!! :)

Finally- I am super excited that MELISSA is coming over for Chilli/LOST/Girls Night tomorrow. We are busting out a bottle of wine and some ground up dead cow straight from my ma and pa's ranch! Tee hee. Yum, number one!

Aren't we adorable together? Scarborough Renaissance festival was a MUST-DO. But don't expect to look as cute as us, thanks! :)

Mwah mwah,

Inspiration

Wow...the first blog of a whole new site! How exciting! This is take number two for me on the Blogging Craze...I have been inspired by my awesome friends to join in (yet again!)

Speaking of inspiration....what inspires you? Here's my current list:

*The Word
*People around me: family, friends, boyfriend, coworkers, random strangers
*The Village Church
*The way babies are so amazingly perfect
*Motorcycle Riding
*Good Literature
*Worship Music
*Runners at the gym (I always get behind the fast ones so I can try and race them!)
*Reading my old journals

Inspiring quote of the day:
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. "
-Martin Luther King Jr (my favorite man in history- besides Jesus!)

Oh Blessed Father....
Today let me live as you have called me to live every day- with open hands, an overflowing heart, tounge that speaks love and a mind that seeks You and Your Truth. Let my feet walk to and for you, let my very life bring you all the Glory You deserve.

I will leave you with this- proof that I think like a two year old- if you didn't hit up church @ the Village this weekend...you won't get it. But if you did...don't laugh too hard! :)

Love....

Tania :)
