Well I've been kind of down today, but I'm pretty sure its just because I have the worst sinus headache ever! I normally hate complaining and I hate listening to people complain, but this just sucks! I was sick for two weeks, finally got better, and now its coming back! Really making me rethink getting married in January next year!! Its actually not, I just know to take plenty of vitamins next year to avoid this!
On a much, much happier note, today our friends Kaitlyn and Garrett found out they're having a baby GIRL! I am so happy for them! Babies are such a blessing, I love them. Even though Colby and I are going to wait a few years before we have kids, I can't wait until its time! I just would prefer to travel, be young, and have a steady income before I devote my life to cute little babies! Besides, I don't need kids when all of my friends have them, and I already pretty much have two (my dogs)! lol
Yesterday (Sunday) Colby and I went to church for the first time together! I hadn't been in years, and it had been even longer for him! I must say, it felt so right! We're planning on going regularly and joining a young couples Sunday school class! I know its what God wants me to do, and I love knowing I'm doing something right for him. Maybe one day I'll read the whole Bible and blog about it. You know, how I perceive certain passages and what I learn from them. I probably wont do that for a while though, at least until after I graduate.
Now, in case you're wondering why I made a scripture my "title" or what it even says (which I hope you are) I will now tell you :) My church has weekly scripture readings and this one was from last week, but when I read it, it really made me realize how we all need to change how we treat people!
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
Love love love!

Another Good Day
I must say, Colby would be very proud of me if he were here, I just worked out! I've never met anyone who was into a healthy lifestyle as much as Colby, and I'm grateful for it for sure! I don't really need to lose weight, but I would love to tone up, and with Colby working out everyday it gives me the motivation I need. I already cook healthy so this is all I am lacking. If he is going to get back into great shape, I need to get into great shape too so we can be an even better lookin' couple! (Said in a joking manner, I'm really not that conceited).
I've been thinking alot about my future today. Not my marriage and family future, but my career future. One of the goals any person with a Psychology degree has is to get something published. A few months ago I wouldn't have cared if any research I did got published, but the more I think about it and learn about research (there is a class that devotes the whole semester to learning how to conduct research and become a critical thinker..never realized how much goes into research papers!) the more I desire to get something published. I believe the field I will go into is marriage and family studies and I hope to do my senior thesis on a correlation between having children at a young age and later success/happiness. I'm just afraid 1) there wont already be enough research to base my hypothesis on 2) the research wont be valuable to a persons understanding or 3) unnecessary duplication. I honestly don't even need to be worrying about this right now, because I don't have to turn in my research proposal until the end of April, I JUST WISH I KNEW!
I know for sure I want to be a therapist, but now I have a new interest-research! Sounds really boring, and it kind of is, but I love learning about the psyche. Maybe I can be a therapist, university professor, and do research on the side. Sounds like a plan to me. Now I just need there to be ten more hours added to each day to make this easy to accomplish. Maybe since the Earth's tilt shifted or whatever causing the astrological signs to change some brainiac will announce the hours in a day are different and everyone will believe him. Sarcasm intended.

Brand New
Well I don't know where to start, and I really don't even know how to mess with all of these options, but I've felt like I have wanted to blog for a while, so here I go.
I feel really good lately. Like God's spirit is in me helping me to become a better person. Of course I still have work to do and will never be perfect, but I honestly can feel Him working in me. Knowing that makes my days so much better. I think a big part of it is a book I've been reading about communication with your mate. It is Christian based and recites passages from the Bible, which I love! Just reading about God makes me feel more in tune with him. If you just take a second to think about how wonderful He is and everything He does, it really just blows you away. At least it does for me!
I assume most of you know me if you're reading this, which means you know I'm engaged! And the best thing happened yesterday, we put a deposit down on the Church! Which means we FOR SURE have a date and place! The only thing we need to book is a place for the reception and the DJ! Annnnnd also all of the other tiny details that no one really cares about but me!
Note: If anyone would like to play the piano at our wedding for free, let me know :)
Today my POS car decided to stop working. It will start, but just about everything else crapped out. Stupid Saturn L200. No wonder Saturn went out of business! We're getting it to the shop tomorrow (hopefully) to get fixed (hopefully) and if its decided to not work then goodbye Saturn and hello Ford Edge! (I wish!) Seriously though, I hope its fixable because I don't know where I would get the money for a new car!
Well I thought I would have a hard time thinking of things to write about, but now that I'm started I think I could go on and on! However, Colby is done with his workout so I need to go cook dinner. Tonight is Tilapia with a Spicy Pineapple glaze! I am also quite the chef, if I do say so myself.
Goodnight everyone!
