And After Much Delay

And after much delay, I have decided to continue in this sport of blogging. After much encouraging from those around me to adequately speak my mind, and after an assignment from a women's ministry professor; here I am once again on the net giving my opinion despite whether people read it or not.
My women's ministry professor reminded me that because I live in Virginia people all the more care about what is occuring in my life and need to be informed about it, even though I may not have anything interesting to say. I've learned that its just not my grandparents and mother who care about my random, every happenings, but all of those people out there who care and have invested their live in to mine.
So this is for you, after much delay, you have invested in my life. This if for you to keep up with the things that God is doing... whatever they may be.
I pray that you laugh, cry, hope and have fun along my journey with me in
"Insert Land Here."


This is the first topic up for bid that everyone around me is simply making an uproar about.
This, my friends, is David.
Cute, right?
And what a godly man he is! After meeting John Norwood last summer, I received the priveledge of meeting David over New Years in December. What a great night that was. I was unaware that four months later I would be speaking with him on the greatest invention in the world, SKYPE, while he is away serving his God and country in Iraq.
The greatest adventure we had was when my father of all peole allowed me to go and visit David for four days in Killen, Texas where he is stationed at Fort Hood!


As I was picked up from the airport, I got into David's truck to see a stuffed giraffe (my favorite animal), a number 1 combo without pickles and a diet coke from Chik- fil- a (my favorite meal) and a surpise to go and enjoy our lunch on a private lake owned by Fort Hood... who knew army men payed attention to detail? This was one of the greatest lunches I have had in the middle of February in 70 degree weather with an incredible man!

On Saturday of our last weekend in American, we got to spend the entire day in San Antonia- what an amazing city!
One thing you must understand about David- he is quite the planner and everything must be perfect (he reminds me quite a bit of my dad.) So David bought tickets for all the touristy things to do in San Antonio, we saw the Alamo (not a very big deal in person) and had a gorgeous dinner right on the River Walk!
Playing around San Antonio was amazing. I am so looking forward to the day when David comes home from Iraq.
It is definitley an adventure watching this man serve his God all the time, his soldiers in Iraq and even doing his best to serve me while im here at Liberty.
