Liz and Sean Gettin' Hitched + UPDATES

Here's the wedding countdown for our wedding.  I'm so glad this works.




In other news.  I got a new computer, hopefully this means I will be updating much much more and hopefully it also means I will be more productive in general since this will move faster than my previous desktop.  I will say that that computer has been going strong since 2004 so THANK YOU to my Compaq for really stickin with me through the years.

UPDATES of the WEEK

• Cousin Paul got "married" this past weekend, pics to come I'm sure.  He and his wife got married, went into the military (or the other way around), shipped out, and came back to have a party with family and friends.  It was wonderful! 
• I am now 2 weeks into my workout routine.  I have been running 2.5+ miles everyday!  Today I ran 3.3, I'm getting the hang of this running thing!  Yay! 
• I am unsure of what percentage I am at for Beechpoint, but will soon find out so I can keep everyone more informed! 
• ArtPrize starts very very soon...maybe even today...I need to pre-register!

and most awesome of them all....

• Sean and I got our engagement pictures done a few Sundays ago and Sandy our AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHER has them done and is going to send me the disc so I can put them up here...and show them off, they are AWESOME, I'm trying not to overuse this word, but really...incredible.  Here's a BLOG PREVIEW of the pics!! Check them out and tell me what you think!  

Blessings for now.  More pics to come when i get my computer all sync-ed up to my external.  

CHRISTMAS

Christmas was incredible this year. honestly, one of the better, not that every Christmas isn't good, but this one was just exceptional.

Got to spend time with my fam, sean's fam, sean...then it was my birthday (just like every year for the past 24).

New Years is coming up as is a bunch of parties to plan (RELEASE and BEECHPOINT REUNION) and more birthdays to celebrate (YAY Stindall!!), so it's a busy busy time of the year. Plus, working.

I have an interview for David's Bridal today at 2:30, pray i get this job, I need another one, I'm just not making enough to pay all the bills on time, so it would be great to get this one.

Also! UPDATE on SUPPORT RAISING: I finally have all my letters and whatnot done, they are going out TODAY I just have to get the stamps on them and stick them in the mailbox, it's going to be good. Pray that God does some big things through the letters and through my continued efforts to raise support and to develop relationships for the purpose of Beechpoint and its ministry as well as friends for support and encouragement for me personally. I'm excited to see how God is really going to use this time for me to rely on Him for every need that I have.

I hope everyone is doing well. Much love from Michigan/the tundra (did I mention I don't really loove winter...i'm makin it though, no worries)

bad blogger?

turns out i'm terrrrriibbblee at this blogging thing. I never post when i should and rarely have any great stories to tell, i don't know why i can't really think of any good stories or whatnot, but meh, i'll keep at it and see how it goes.

story 1: I'm in NY...you'd think city, but no, it's just a little northeast of Buffalo, so it's kinda like Michigan. i'm here visiting family with Sarah and it's pretty good, low key...we're going to watch Star Trek really soon and it'll be good. We are going to go shopping tomorrow probably at some point and then just continue hanging out. It's pretty sweet. I'm enjoying Thanksgiving.

story 2: I'm getting my support letters written and hopefully getting them out soon. I have to get them all printed off and mailed, but that's the slight update on the support front.

story 3: If this interests you at all, I want to go to the Philippines this March. here's the catch, I'm broke 1 and 2 I am also trying to raise support for working full time at Beechpoint. SOOO, I think i'm going to try and get the money by asking on Facebook, blogspot, and any other social networking means....so again, if you're interested please feel free to send me some money to get myself to the Philippines where I will be helping with a camp and with Vacation Bible schools. Address: 1801 Union Ave Se, GR MI, 49507 . :D Thanks! We'll see what happens and I believe that if the Lord wants me to go, I will. :)

story 4: I have really enjoyed living in Grand Rapids thus far, I'm sure it'll only continue to get better. I really like my new friends, spending time with my boyfriend, my pie company job, living with stinds and tiff (I know i wrote this in the first post, but really...), and getting involved in Calvary as much as possible. MSM, Missio, and just sitting in on the teachings of Samra has been incredible. I'm really blessed.
