So we haven’t updated our blog here in like, well, 3 months. What HORRIBLY INCONSISTENT BLOGGERS we are?!? It’s okay though. I invite you back, please. A ton has happened since our last post where I was dressed up as Santa (yeah I know back in December). The most substantial and important news is that we are officially engaged!!! I proposed on February 11th at The Springs Church (in the room we met as strangers just a year and half ago). So her beautiful hand has a beautiful ring on it. We have also officially set a date!! We are getting married on June 25th at Poplar Springs Baptist. We are very excited!! Not much time left to plan but we see no reason worth waiting so we are going for it!! I love that chick with all my heart and I have no doubt in my mind we will have an amazing life together and grow really old and sit in rocking chairs on our front porch and tell stories!!

On a different note, I also started my student teaching experience back on Valentine’s Day. So I am officially 3 weeks and 2 days through my 12 week program that is the last step before I can graduate!! Words cannot express how overjoyed I am to think that, God willing, I will be done with school after a long, LONG journey and will be certified and licensed to teach. If all works as I would dream, I would find a job in the fall and be the happiest man in the world with a gorgeous and wonderful new wife and launching into a career that I am passionate about and can use my abilities and experience to make a difference in the lives of kids. Oh the day cannot come soon enough.

So if you pray, pray for us!! We need it! God has already provided in great ways (great tax return/great deal online to afford awesome Mexico honeymoon, we have a house to rent for a very reasonable price, etc.) but we are still following and trusting God’s direction and hoping for an amazing, memorable, and “without a hitch” wedding/honeymoon/transition and then a job opportunity in the fall. It’s so exciting!! I vow to try to update more often. Check out our Knot wedding website for more wedding related info by clicking here
