New Blogging

Wow....I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted!  But I have a new blog!  And this one I am much better about updating...I promise.  So check it out, leave me a comment, let me know how to get in touch!

I'm glad that Jill and Don's wedding plans are coming along nicely...because mine aren't.  Ok they are kinda...just one sticky spot...where to have it!!!  Kinda important!  On the brighter side...I got my dress (it's on layaway until I can pay for the rest) and the bridesmaids dresses are on order.  It is very difficult to have a sister and friend named Sarah/Sara and have them both in the wedding party--the dress lady was so confused--it was very funny.
Now I am off to school--so fun!  4 more days left after today!
Oh...Don thank you for pointing out my spelling error--I fixed it and I made a typo, I don't have a potty mouth!

I'm getting married!!!!!  He proposed!!!!!

On Thursday, May 26, 2005 Keith had me meet him at Sharon Woods.  Now he told me that he would meet me by the playground and I wondered why he couldn't let me come to where he was--but whatever.  So I get there and he's not there.  I call him twice and then 15 minutes later he called back--I was a bit pissed at this point.  So I get in his car and he hands me a dozen red roses--now something is up I think to myself.  So he takes me to this part in the park that we used to go to when we first started dating (almost 2 years ago).  It's this secluded part down by the dam of the river.  We start to walk down the steps and I see these lights, and I ask Keith, "MeHun (nickname) what are those lights?"  We get down there and on the ledge are a bunch of tealights and candles (over 200, I find out later) and roses and rose petals onthe ground.  Then I hear our song playing ("I'll Be" by Edwin McCain).  Keith then proposes me to me (those details will be kept a secret).  And of course--I said YES!!!!!

There are definitely somethings in life that make you grow up a lot faster than anything else.  For once in my life I feel like an adult.  On Tuesday, Keith called me and told me that a friend of ours that I have known since jr. high was killed in Iraq on Monday.  The news was upsetting, yet hadn't really suck in yet.  Then I was getting ready to leave my house later that afternoon and there was Taylor's picture on the news.  I literally fell to the ground crying.  I never imagined at 20 years old I would have to be grieving for a friend's death.  But then I realized why grieve?  Sure he is gone, but I have awesome memories with Taylor that should be celebrated not grieved over.  So now I am celebrating Taylor's life.  I am remembering the way he would tell jokes--usually pretty corny, but still funny; I'm remembering how Taylor was one of the first to jump in and help when needed; I am remembering the small group times with him; and plenty of other memories.  I will miss Taylor, but I know that Taylor was serving this country because he knew it was the right thing to do and not just an obligation.  It's not easy with his picture being on every newspaper and on the news, but  just have to remember that his life is worth celebrating!
I ask that as funeral preperations are being made that you would just keep Taylor's friends and family in your prayers.
