I got married!!

Sooooo a year ago, I was dealing with a guy who was being a stalker and hitting on me. I freaked out and ended that friendship. 

51 weeks later, I married my best friend of 2 years. 

We aren't crazy, I promise.

Who saw that one coming?! Apparently, some people did. Just me not. Or Gavin. "We're just friends! Best friends, but definitely not marrying each other." We talked about everything from life, to our dream weddings and people that were a possibility of a future spouse. We were there for each other through some of the toughest times of our lives...and we're both excited to see who God would bring  as a spouse for the other person...but it wasn't going to be each other!!

We talked on the phone and tried to Skype every day. Those were the best moments of my day. 

^^^^he's hilarious. 

Then we met in person in November and something clicked. We started to realize that maybe this friendship was more than just a friendship...and we realized how absolutely perfect for each other we are. I drove down to VA Beach every other weekend for a month and a half, then moved down here.

 As we were able to spend more time with each other, we wondered why it has taken so long for us to realize how much we were meant for each other. 

We've been talking about getting married for a while and decided why not do it? So we got married on July 2, 2013!! 

We are planning on having a celebration next summer, if we have the money for it. 

So. That's the news in my life. Gavin's the best thing that ever happened to me. I love him. He's incredible. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. 

And Miss Kitty loves him too. 

(And for those of you who have asked, we have gift registries. Just ask me for the details--the name is not my legal name.)

*happiness*

blogging with a goal

so. my life has changed a little bit, recently. as a quick recap, the girl who swore that she would always stay single found the guy she plans on marrying, in her best friend. (see profile pic... =D [gavin is the most adorable, amazing, loving guy ever.]) she has moved to virginia beach, works for a lt. gov candidate's campaign, is figuring out life, shopping for a car, and healing/figuring out what she really believes.

that being said, i believe that no greater joy has a lot of toxicity in their publications, especially one called "created to be his helpmeet". basically, it's supposed to kind of be the miracle cure book for marriages, but it' actually rather scary. it breaks my heart and hurts me to see others hurt by it.

i'm planning on blogging on it in the coming days/weeks/months. i will say stuff as i think it and i refuse to apologize for "offending" you. as with all books, there's some good, but some bad. i'll point out what i see from both sides.

accidents, moving and cats

it's been a normal week. i had a black ice accident on monday and totaled my new jetta. that put an end to my workweek, as i had no transportation. 

i. totaled. my. car.

i am not happy. i haz no car, a $4,500 loan and no money to start all over again.

oh well. God will provide. i've never run out of money this far. 

that being said, i also moved almost 400 miles down the east coast...to Virginia Beach. aaahhhh! it was time to move on from hershey pa, and all the doors opened up to move to Va Beach.

life is new. scary. exciting. there's been some major changes in my life, and i can say that i'm happy, excited for the future, and hopefully starting a new, good journey down life's road.

oh yes!! i got a cat too!! she's currently hiding under my bed, terrified of another cat. but she will be ok.
