My Best Friend's Wedding

I don't know why I waited this long to post this, but I wanted to share some pictures from Rachel's wedding (8/12/06). I was honored to be a bridesmaid and I was so proud and moved during the weekend (especially the ceremony). :-) I thought I was fine, but then when she started walking down the isle my eyes totally filled up with tears. It's hard to explain watching one of the most important people in your life do one of the most important things in their life. I had a similar feeling at Abby's wedding last year, too. Rachel and I have been like sisters, though, so it was a little different. It's bittersweet because you know you have to let go a little bit, but you're so happy for them at the same time. Anyway, I'll stop babbling and just say CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL AND JASON!! Doesn't she (don't they) look beautiful? =) Ahh! Praise God!









So yeah, I'll add captions tomorrow... or whenever. :-) YAY!

My First Box

That same day I also had my first bite of string cheese. I love it at Kelli's house.

Sammy, Sammy, Sammy! Kitty, kitty,kitty!

So, I've had this precious little creature for about 6 weeks, but I haven't mentioned it yet. I named her Samantha Muffy Kruser, after our old kitty, Muffy, who had to be put to slee a couple of months ago. Sammy is enjoying the use of Muffy's litter box, feeder, and cat carrier. She's a lot bigger than she was in these pictures already, but she's still little and cute. She's crazy, actually, but I'm told there's not kitten who isn't. She's a great addition to my home and she likes to sleep on me. Cats can be so cuddly - I love it.

In other news, I'm going to start writing a series of dreams that I've had since I've been walking with the Lord and posting them on here. They are important and they explain a lot about where I am right now and what God is doing. Hopefully they will encourage you, as well.

I should also mention that Ben and I broke up because we we both sense a need to be in a deeper place with Jesus than we have been and we knew we needed to get there apart from one another. We did fall in love and we wanted to get married, but we must lay it aside right now and chose to place Jesus first above all things. For both of us, our hope is that the Lord would bring this around in the time he sees fit and that we will be together one day, but we are laying it down, letting it go. We would rather have Jesus first, whatever it takes. Your prayers for both of us would be much appreciated.

May you be blessed today and find the peace of Christ in your life.
