Life is about the moments. For example, going on a day trip with Rebecca. Awesome. Getting to see Christy and Erik and their children. Epic. Today I was blessed to be able to spend a beautiful day with these amazing people. In between all of this we were able to take a walk around Greenlake. It was beautiful! Such a perfect day. Reminds me why this is the most amazing place on the planet, well one of them.
While up at Camano Island I borrowed Christy's veil and headpiece. This way I don't have to buy them. Yay! Now, you are probably asking, why didn't you just have them send them? Well, becuase if we had done that I couldn't have had tasty hamburgers and a good time with my friends. Oh yeah! Good food, friends, and an amazing sunny day? It was a no brainer.
Then, I hung out with some work friends. It was at Paul Cramer's house that I heard Osama was dead. I headed home to watch the President's address. So, to cap off a great day Osama is dead. Finally, the manhunt is done.
This doesn't mean we are done. I am grateful that the president pointed this out. We are by no means out of the clear. We still have troops in harms way and it is my prayer that God protects them from retaliation. Extremest Muslims will try to use this as a raling point. I hope though that they see the glory of the true God and come to realize that this is not the way. I also hope that America doesn't fall into a spiral of hate speech either. Yes, we killed Osama. Was it ideal? No, judgement is left to God. But was in necessary? Yes. I am proud of our troops. I am proud to be an American.
Today will be a day that I will always remember and not just because there is one less terrorist idiot out there.

43 days left!
On June 11 I get to marry the man that God has chosen for me. I am excited for this new adventure that Nate and I are getting ready to embark on. Although, I will be happy when my life isn't all about wedding details. I am loving every minute of it but currently the dining room is over run with craft stuff as I try to figure out what the programs will look like. It doesn't help that I have two cats who seem to think they need to be involved in everything.
It seems like December 4th was just yesterday and I thought I had so much time. The days have flown by and I will be happy when Nate and I are in the same town. This long distance stuff is for the birds. I miss him. However, it will all soon be a memory.
I am just trying to enjoy this time before the wedding. I am spending some time with my amazing roommate who is also my maid of honor. In fact, we are going up to Camano Island to visit a friend who is loaning me her veil. Hopefully, my bridesmaid Hannah can go.
One thing that has been hard for me is to have some be so willing to care for me as Nate has. I love how he provides for me and protects me and prays for me. It seems that my pride has its way of rearing its ugly head though, but God has been gracious enough to help me work on that. I know that this marriage will be a time of growth and learning for both of us. He is marrying an independent woman. One who never has really had to let another person know what is going in her life. Although, now I can't imagine anything else. It is wonderful to have another person be behind you 100%, other than your parents.
I am glad that God brought Nate into my life. This is going to be an exciting journey.
