well, i was going to vent about talk about how annoying it is when all people talk about is themselves and how awesome they, themselves, are and how "hot" they are...it's so freakin' annoying and i want to slap them in the face and tell'em to get over themselves. i think it can be like the lowest self esteem there is. i struggle with self esteem, but don't feel the need to strut around and boast about myself to hide my insecurities...i'm not great...i have struggles, pains, etc. everyone does. i pray i never become one of those people...i don't really care if people don't like me, i'm not going to change who i am to make someone like me. it's really really annoying to anyone near one of those people, i have had a person in my life like that...probably more, i dont' know how i handled it for as long as i did and i then i got hurt by the same person....(i wish i could warn you...) ok so i surprise myself a lot. anyways...sorry, all that's real tho, like it or not.

so, yea i was going to vent on that...haha, but then i realized it's my 600th post!!!

it's a good day.

just getting wedding details finalized...i can't believe it's in like a month!!!!!!!!! i can't wait...i really can't wait till the wedding day, but i can't wait even more for the marriage...i'm marrying a great, strong, honest, real man!!! a little quirky at times, but love him all the same, and more!

the newspaper here in Rochester is doing a story about mike and i. haha. a love story!! apparently the writer goes to my church and picked us to write the story about. it'll be interesting. I'll let ya know when it's going to be in print...I'll be selling autographed copies for purchase...haha (see section above about boasting...) haha. j/k.


till next time!

change.

So anyways, thought I would write about other things besides the wedding stuff...things are ok here. the tribal warfare thing is going on at youth on wednesday nights, it's fun, i'll post some pics. last night was the picture sacavenger(sp?) hunt. pretty fun. it'll be a fun summer doing that. honestly not alot going on right now...even w/ wedding stuff...can't really do anything until the day approaches a little closer. looking at options right now. rochester, the cities, etc. i'm really wanting "change" in my life...i suppose getting married is probably one of the biggest changes, but it's not till a month and a half or so. so I guess i'll just be re-arranging my apt. a lot. ha.

I've been reading in Ephesians lately, it's crazy how you read things over and over and it never really "clicks"... well the first couple chapters in Eph. is clicking to me. i pray i never take God's grace for granted...but sometimes it's just too easy to do...

i'll post more later.
