Sweet Sadness but total contentment




Well, I am back to blogging. This past week I have been preparing for Tim's departure, which was this past Monday. I am still trying to cope and I have learned two things; 1) that I now hate my phone and 2) that I now hate the clock. The two of those I can do without these next ten weeks. I surprisingly do not hate the calendar...seeing the things I have upcoming and how busy I am gets me excited. It makes me happy knowing that I will not have too much time on my hands to be sad and mopey. I am comforted however in knowing Tim is doing the Lords will and that he is confident in that. I am also confident in that. This time is going to be such a hard and sweet time waiting and clinging to Christ. That is a sweet kind of sadness. I hate the silence. That is hard. On a lighter note, I am excited for the bridesmaid dinner next weekend! I have posted a picture of the card I sent to all of my vip ladies. I think planning for that and getting ready for that next week will be something to pass the time. I am super excited about it. I really hope it is a wonderful time for the ladies as well as myself. I am sad that my Jen will not be able to make it...but that is ok. She will be missed. The colors for the dinner are orange and fuscia... totally not like the colors for our wedding. I just wanted to do something funky this time. I also have been working out really hard to drop some of this weight. Since Tim will be working and struggling so hard at Basic, I promised him that I would try my best to drop 10lbs while he is gone. I am excited about that goal because it keeps me determined and benefits me in the long run. My favorite new exercise routine is Spinning! It is the hardest but most fun I have ever had working out. Debating on going to cycling tonight or Kickboxing. I also started a new Bible study called "making peace with your past." It looks like a really good one and I am excited already. I have only done one lesson and I will do the second today, but it already looks like a good one. I am so excited for what the Lord is doing in my life. He has been so comforting these past two days and for that I am so thankful. He has given me the strength I did not have and I am so grateful. Wedding planning is still a go...just a slow go. Come Friday I will have the damage deposit paid for the reception so that will be completely taken care of! I also cannot wait for the girls to finally get their dresses next week! whoop whoop! That will further the process along. Catering payments are starting so that will be my main focus for the next couple of months. AHH!
