a whole lot to update blog

ok, so there are a ton of things going on in our lives right now. let me start off by saying that there are only 5 days left until the big day!!! i can't believe how it has snuck up on us! Let me recap for you a little:

So the past months have been really stressful. we were really feeling called to Fresno but I wasn't finding a job and we couldn't fin

d an apartment and we were wondering if bryce wasn't going to be able to go to PT school or not. there was a lot of crying and pleading with the Lord and worrying until bryce and i took time apart to really seek the Lord to ask Him to make it really clear to us what to do. He didn't give us any direction...all He said to us was "Trust Me" and "Wait". So a week or so later bryce and i still had no clue what to do. I told my mom that the Lord really was going to have to step in and drop a job in my lap because i had done EVERYTHING i could think of to find a job. the next day bryce called me telling me that a place that he worked at last year (in sacramento) was looking for a receptionist. i got an interview that weekend but was holding my breath because nothing was falling into place so far on this whole job issue. i sat down for the interview and the lady said to me, "this is not an interview, i'm just going to tell you what you are going to be doing for me." OH MY WORD....the Lord totally gave me that job. He wanted me to know that He is the provider, not me.

I can't tell you how much this is all falling into place. I start the monday that we get back from our honeymoon! We signed a lease on our apartment on friday! the Lord is just working everything. i am so blown away, and i wonder why...of course He was going to come through! ugh...i'm trying to trust...i have no reason not to, but it gets so hard sometimes.

So, these last 3 weeks have been a whirlwind. we have changed total direction. bryce is going to go to sac state and we are going to live in citrus heights. i am enjoying wedding planning so much more now that i know we have a place to live and a job that the Lord is going to provide everything for us through.

the yard looks amazing! i'm so excited for you all to come over for a wedding! bryce and i are so ready. we are busy this week with crazy last minute details....oh ya, my laptop hard drive was failing and the mac store said that they would retrieve my data for $1000.00. I thought i was going to bawl in front of the lady. praise the Lord that we have a friend who knows everything about computers!!!! he retrieved all of my info, including all of my photos, music, and wedding list!!! (this is why i haven't posted a blog in a long time) the Lord is just awesome and i stand amazed at Him!
