Boys...

Is it just my group of friends, or do ALL males wrestle when they get together?



This scene is a common one whenever we're with the young adults from our church (they even did it in church once!). Not all the males participate (Anthony is asleep in the background of that photo), but it always seems to be Andrew fighting someone. There was a whole half circle of girls and uninterested males being entertained by the sweaty spectacle rolling around in front of them. Now, I know its entertaining, but is this normal?

deffinately not the brady bunch!

Family can be wonderful, but at times they can look more like the Mafia or a circus than the Brady Bunch. Right now Im angry... so angry and it all has to do with Andrews step family.
Its made me think.... is there a perfect family? Why was the Brady Bunch even popular? Its so unrealistic! Step families just dont turn out that way!

I hate being blamed for things that arent my fault. Especially when no one stands up for me because they want to 'keep the peace'. Where's my peace?

What now?

I feel jobless!

Im completely up to date with my checklist, and have all our vendors booked! I dont have anything to do for 3 months! So, due to my overly prepared nature, Ive already started looking for hair inspiration, ceremony readings, writing our programs, invitations and RSVP cards and we've asked our Ps. about premarital counselling.


Andrew and I went to a beautiful wedding on Saturday. I love weddings that are so full of love that it makes you tear up. Zac and Susies wedding was the last youth group wedding before our own, so the day was full of excited exclamations of "Our turn next!' between Andrew and I.
