April here we are

So again, I have let a whole month go by without updating!! Life is flying by and we are so blessed.

We went to Big Bend with Matt's mom and dad, and his Uncle Charlie and cousin Gatlin and McKeever. We had a lot of time and I really enjoyed the quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of life.

We had our first wedding shower, my bridal shower, in San Antonio on March 19th. It was so wonderful. I was overwhelmed by people's generosity and love for Matt and I. We received 8 of our place settings of china, coffeemaker, can opener, EVERYTHING for our bathroom and sooooo much more. We are blessed beyond measure and are very thankful to everyone who came!

We are 69 days away from the "big day," some days I am so ready to be married to Matt and some days it freaks me out. I know he is my person but forever is a long time :)

I was given a contract with Frenship for next year, so that is a huge answered prayer, I am so excited to be back with my 2nd grade team again next year. I will be giving my 2 weeks notice at Gardski's this week.

Matt has been given some reassurance that he will have a position with Tech in the fall so we are really looking forward to that blessing. It has been heavy on both of our hearts that he would be able to finish school, as well as help us out financially!!

Prayers for Matt as he works hard on his proposal for his dissertation and continues to work hard on that. I am also needing prayers in my personal walk with Christ, I am working on dying to myself and working to further the Kingdom.
