a superbowl wedding anniversary

Last year, on February 5th, I walked down the aisle towards the love of my life. I looked into the eyes of a man who sacrifices sleep to make sure we are provided for. I held hands with a man and stood before our friends, family and God while holding on to the promises we made to each other. And 12 days from now, we will be celebrating one year together.

Our wedding date was originally the 4th which would have been a Saturday in 2012. Due to a long story that still causes my blood pressure to rise, we had to change it to that Sunday. But it was all in God's plan. Everyone that was invited were members of our church and our wedding was held right after service. Yes, my church loves me that much. To go even further into how much my husband and I are loved...it was Super Bowl Sunday. Giants against Patriots. We're from FL so the deacons and bretheren of the church sacrificed their football Sunday to celebrate with us. There is no way to really thank them for all they did. Our husband and I are working on a way to show them how special they are to us, but it's going to take some time to pull it off.

I write all of this to say that our wedding anniversary will not always be a reminder to who my husband and I are to each other, but what true love really looks like when you are really surrounded by Christ-focused people. So, we're not only celebrating our committment to each other, but our committment to Christ to continue serving Him in all we do, continue being obedient and pray without ceasing always in all ways.

This year, my sweets decided he's in charge of the planning of our day. As long as we leave our own backyard and are in another area code, I'm over the moon happy! I'm looking forward to this adventure everyday...

Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasureably more than all we ask or imagne, according to His power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

For the love of www!

Tumblr. Instagram. Facebook. Twitter. Google+ (it took me fifty seconds to find the plus key). Apps for apps and apps to hide apps...for someone like me who is easily distracted, it's a wonder I get anything done. This is why I haven't been able to blog because my thoughts have too many bubbles to enter into. Then again, it's a good thing, because if it were easy for me to post the random and frequent thoughts I have, I'd be in trouble. Lots.

So, finally I've settled into this blogger thing. I think. I've given up on a website for now and I'm thinking of just doing this and Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and Words with Friends. Yep. That should keep it simple.

I wanted to focus on just HIV topics, but I'm just too random to contain, I must be freed so look out because I've posted YouTube videos! Well, it's still being edited at the moment, but they are coming. For  real this time. Something about turning 30 makes me care less of fitting the norm which is weird because I never thought I cared in the first place. Now I truly understand the term, "could care less".

According the blog I wrote two years ago, "Well, if you ask me..." I stated that I had begun classes at college, there was a benefit concert, so on and so forth. Yeah, none of that happened but as of now, I've got one semester under my belt and will resume classes this coming week. I've gotten married and will be celebrating my one year anniversary this February! I'm in the process of getting a home built with Habitat for Humanity. I've cut off all my chemically straightened hair and am now curly and girly! Lots has changed and lots has stayed the same but with it all, I won't complain. I'm just happy to feel like myself again, like I'm really truly comfortable in my own skin. It's ashy, but I'm comfortable.

So that is my random, unedited blog post. As soon as I come down from this Starbucks high I will post more detailed information on where to find me on all these social networks. But you can always find me on Facebook. That's where the most updated information will be, just less detailed as this.

Laterz!
