God is good.

So it's been forever since I've written anything! Lots of exciting things are happening!

Everyone knows I am no patient person but when you trust in God and pray, good things happen! Brooke and Brian just had their first baby Meritt Grace. She's beautiful! I was never into the whole baby thing but now that some of my close friends are having them it's so amazing to me that their children have their characteristics and personality. Little things about their face match up with their mom or dad and it's just so adorable. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to have a child but what a miracle!

Memphis was always a place I despised and I blamed my ex for basically making me move here. Now the reason I came here isn't the reason I'm staying here and this city is really growing on me. I've made friendships that I never expected to have and know I can count on them for anything. I am blessed to be surrounded by hilarious people everyday!

My parents just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. How amazing is that? Being with the same person for 50 years and still loving each other and serving each other every day! My parents are two of the most amazing people in my life. They serve God whole heartedly and take care of their family like no one I've ever seen. I make fun of my mom for calling over and over again until I answer but secretly it's nice to know that she loves me so much that she worries when I don't answer the phone immediately. Recently she sent me a letter in the mail with this quote "If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives, be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies, succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest and frank anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous, be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, do good anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway." Without her daily encouragement and love I wouldn't be the person I am today.

My niece Brittany recently got engaged to her long time boyfriend Steve! Congrats to them, can't wait to help her with the girly wedding things she hates :)

I have complaints... but in the grand scheme of things life is great and God is good.
