a new chapter

happy october! ... o my goodness! where has time gone? it's been so long since my last post. i have so much i want to share with you!

this year is my last semester at k-state. i should be graduating in december with an architectural engineering degree! who would have thought?! now that it's fall, its definitely crunch time! halloween is near, which means my birthday is coming up (nov. 2), then off to thanksgiving (we have a whole week for break this year! woot woot!), graduation, christmas, new year, WEDDING, and then...

some very exciting news...

christopher got accepted into grad school at kettering university! he's starting as a distance student this quarter and then after we get married, it's off to michigan for the both of us!

i am so excited to move on to another chapter of my life. i thank God everyday for giving me such wonderful opportunities. i take them all for granted so many times. i don't even realize all that He has to offer. i am truly blessed. i am so scared yet so excited at the same time! michigan is so different from kansas. i haven't lived anywhere but here! there are so many what if's...

what if...

christoher can't find a job up there?
i can't find a job?
my love and knowledge of photography doesn't have room to grow?
people won't accept my photography?
we can't find a good apartment?
we get snowed in?
we live in a bad part of town and didn't know it?
we don't make any friends?
we can't get a loan?
it affects our marriage for the worse?
i lose contact with all of my friends and family?

there are just so many thoughts floating around in my head that i've only gotten about 1 to 3 hours of sleep per night. no bueno!

though my mind may be racing with all of these negative questions, i can't forget about all of the positives. i believe God is just providing me with another opportunity. a challenge. an answer to a prayer. only He knows what will come.

macy's 1st birthday.

i have good news and bad news. the good news is macy turned one year old this past wednesday!!!! :) the bad news is that i uploaded my maximum number of pictures i am allotted for the month on flickr. so i have to find another way to upload my pictures to put onto this blog... if you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment!

back to macy's birthday... christopher and i went to a little dog shop off of pontz by the mall. it was such a cute little store! we bought her a birthday "whoopie pie" and some toys. then the three of us headed out to the new dog park and let her have at it! it was a great time.

first, presents.

after we got her all cleaned up, we headed home for a much needed haircut. i spent about 3 hours in the bathroom cut off all her hair. i can assure you i shaved off twice as much is on her body now. she looks 10 years younger!

these aren't the best pictures of her haircut, but i'm sure i'll get more macy pictures up!

she's such a cutie pie! i love her to pieces. this morning, we woke up and i found her curled up to my back, so i rolled over a bit just to lay on her, and she just stays there! she's the best dog ever. i don't know what i'd do without her.
