It has been a while

It has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog and I felt that this would be a good time. Oh my how life has changed since I last posted. Since June 20 I have received a new job which has been a total blessing, I have moved into the apartment that Kristi and I will call home and we are only 6 weeks away from the wedding. Life has been fast and furious these last several months. We have celebrated the life and passing of Kristi's Grandy in early October as well as been overwhelmed with the excitement of starting a new life together. We taken care of all of the major aspects of the wedding including: cakes, flowers, dresses, tuxes, music, wedding party, honeymoon etc. We have even begun planning next summer plans with church camp and Mama K camp in New Mexico. And just when you think there is nothing more to plan we have begun sketching out plans to go to Florida next Christmas. Whew! I can't believe we have been able to sleep with all of that going on. If there is one thing that is for sure I will be glad when the wedding is behind us and we are able to put our lives together in the same place and start our routine. Life is so good and I wish this on everyone.
I can't begin to tell you how blessed I am to have Kristi as my team-mate and future wife. She has been there for me every step of the way through a very scary summer of not having a job to the smooth transition into my job which was very short notice and very fast to the grueling schedule of this marching season. She has never once complained or been unwavering in her support. Men, if you can find someone like her who loves you for who you are and what you are don't let her get away. Find a woman who will love you when you are doing well in life and when you are slumping in life and feel worthless. Find someone like her who will challenge you to keep going and to work harder because you can and she has faith in you. But at the same time love her with everything you have. Don't for one moment take her for granted or miss out on a moment of her smile and laughter. Spoil her not only with material things but with quality time and loving gestures that make her feel like a princess. She is the most valuable thing that God can give you on this earth. He truly blessed us men when he said "it is not good for man to be alone". When you look at your wife know that you are looking directly into the eyes of someone who is giving you a tangible taste of what God's love for you really is.
