Wedding Shower in Raleigh

My sister, Krystal, hosted a shower for me this past Saturday in Raliegh. We ate at the Twisted Fork...YUM! We had some great food and wonderful company!!! It was mostly attended by family and a few good friends! Enjoy the pictures!

While I was having fun, Charlie had a lot of guys moving our stuff! We are officially moved into our new apartment! It is great and we love it! I am so jealous that I don't get to stay there! Here's our new address. I hope to get some pictures up soon!

The BIG Move!

So of course I have to leave Fayetteville before the wedding. This meant breaking my lease. That was going to cost us $800 a month until mid August if my apartment complex didn't rent my apartment out! YIKES! So I told them I would move at a moment's notice if they could just please rent it! So after lots of prayers they called me on Friday afternoon and wanted the apartment empty by Monday morning! I was planning on moving out next weekend, so it was a bit of work finding help and getting everything ready!

Charlie and I worked really hard Friday afternoon and evening getting everything packed up. We went to a wedding on Saturday in Durham. So we got a break for a day. We rented a U-Haul and our best man, Henry, came to the rescue!!! Henry is awesome and Charlie couldn't have a better friend! Charlie and Henry loaded up the truck in the rain and emptied my apartment today. My parent's came and helped me clean up. Thank you Mom, Paul, and Henry! And of course, thank you Charlie!

So everything is stacked and waiting for next weekend's move in Charlie's apartment. Charlie has a bunch of guys lined up to move everything from Durham to Cary on Saturday. So the move is only half way over! I'm anxiously awaiting a picture from Charlie of everything stacked to the ceiling!

We can't wait to be in the same apartment. 41 days to go!!!

Proverbs Wife

My good friend Sarah did a wonderful devotion on being a good wife at my shower in Wilmington. Here's a list of the verses she used to guide me as a wife. I will need to read these everyday to be anywhere close to successful!

Proverbs 19:20
Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.
...
Proverbs 31:12
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
...
Proverbs 17:12
The pruden see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
...
Proverbs 20:20
A gossip betrays a confidence. So avoid a man that talks too much.
...
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
...
Provers 12:25
An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
...
Proverbs 12:16
A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
...
Proverbs 17:14
Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matther before a dispute breaks out.
...
Proverbs 28:13-14
He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
...
Proverbs 3:27-28
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back later, I'll give it tomorrow" when you now have it with you.
...
Proverbs 11:25
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will be refreshed.
...
Proverbs 14:1
The wise woman builds her house, bt with her won hands the foolish one tears her down.
...
Proverbs 12:4
A wife of noble character is her husband's crown.

Thanks Sarah!

Wedding Shower

We have been so busy lately with moving and wedding details I really have nothing to report! We did go to the Divine Design marriage conference this past weekend at Calvary Chapel Cary! What a blessing it was! We are still swamped with life and hope things slow down once the big move (May 23). Although we still have the wedding to go!

Here are some pics from my shower in Wilmington last month.

They had this fun veil to wear! It was my friend Allison's actual wedding veil!
Allison and Shelley...2 wonderful friends and great hostesses!
The true gift here was the devotion that went with the basket! Each item had a Proverb or 2 attached. It was a great lesson on being a Godly wife. Thanks Sarah!
The delicious cake had my married monogram on it!
