I'm engaged...

Well, I'm engaged to the most wonderful man in the whole world. I know everyone says that, but I'm the one that REALLY has the most wonderful man. ;)

So much has happened during my time here at college, and I would have never dreamed that this is where I would be. I am so in love with life and the beautiful people that I am surrounded by each and every day. There's nothing like getting a hug from a friend after Christmas break, sharing coffee and talking about life, receiving a sweet goodnight kiss from your fiance, or just sitting at the kitchen table with your roommate typing up emails and hearing nothing but calm music and the keyboard click away.

I have such small and beautiful blessings in my life that make the world seem a little sweeter. Knowing that I will get to spend the rest of my life learning to love one person so intimately and perfectly is the icing on the cup cake! Thank you everyone for being a part of my journey this far. Thank you for shaping me to become who I am today, and helping me through those dark days my sophomore year. Thank you for loving me when I'm ugly on the inside and judgmental. Thank you for putting up with ignorant words, and unnecessary tears.

Life is truly beautiful despite the brokenness that is so prevalent these days. The Lord loves you and cares for you, which is an unspeakable joy. I have been given a wonderful gift of life, and God has blessed me with a wonderful man.

I am thankful.

Cute picture and great post about counting your blessings. It's when we see the small and indescript as blessings that we truly recognize God in every detail of our lives. You are a lovely girl and I count you as one of the many blessings in my life. And yes, I too have the most wonderful man in the world. We can all say that because each of has one special person created just for us...and what a miracle of love when God brings those two people together. Love you girl!
