learning...

I am learning a lot lately. Not only in school but about life in general:

1. Insurance is expensive. Plan and simple.
2. Writing papers is not my strong point. I write, print, and turn in. There is no rereading.
3. Sometimes you just have to do what others want in order to get what you need.

Those are just a few of the things I have been learning lately. God is showing me what it truly means to live for him daily and follow his commands. It may be hard but by golly the outcome is glorious!

I want to send out a special thanks to three of my best friends. They have truly shown me what friendship looks like. It will be hard to move away from them one day, but from recent events in my life, they will always be my best friends. Love you Mallory, Millie and Caroline!

Wedding update:
1. Jordan has completed and ordered our Save-the-Dates! We will be sending those the beginning of June.
2. I ordered and received already a self-inking return address stamp. It is WONDERFUL!
3. Jordan has bought our website domain and our website will be up and running very soon!
4. We have decided to make fabric and felt flowers. My future sister-in-law has been wonderful enough to agree to help us! I am so excited to be making these with her! It will all be very rewarding in the end. :)
6. Jordan is making trellises for the ceremony and reception. I will definitely supervise!
5. Jordan is coming down on May 24th! He is staying a week as I finish work and then we are driving back to Ames for the summer on May 30th! O the things that will be accomplished this summer for our wedding! and all the new friends I will make and already have made. It is going to be a BLAST!

And lastly (but definitely not the least):
Cedar Creek is throwing me my first wedding SHOWER!!!! It is next Wednesday! I am somewhat nervous because all the attention will be on me, but it will definitely be fun!

Now, onto writing some papers that I am not so good at doing :/

In Him,
Emma
