Well... clearly I am no-self-proclaimed-blogger. It's been a while... I'm still trying to decide if blogging for me personally is, "Everyone should read what I write because I'm wonderful" or "Here's the world through my eyes"... until further notice, I will continue with the latter :)
I am so ecstatic for this upcoming year.. Brian and I will be married this June, that's 6 months away! I better get my buns in motion on this whole 'planning a wedding' deal. To be completely honest, I'm not the Bride I imagined I would be. I've discovered I'm much more practical than I am fairy tale, much to the dismay of contrary opinion. I can't be bothered with stressing over minute details.
It's ironic how being engaged & planning our wedding has revealed a lot about myself... and to be quite honest, I'm seeing more and more how I truly need God's grace every single day. I am a selfish woman, self-serving, often self-focussed. This year I want to learn how to be more others-focussed, husband-serving, a God-lover all of the time... not the self-lover I believe we can all often revert to.
Another of my goals for 2012 is to document Brian and my life together as newlyweds. Either through a picture we've quickly snapped on our iPhones or writing a more lengthy post. As we moving away from both our families after we get married to California, I pray that this blog can be a place where our loved ones can keep up to date on the day to day,the exciting experiences we embrace with open arms, and hear our hearts on what God does in our lives.

I really like to hear your heart here Meg! For what it's worth, I started blogging to keep the far away family in the loop of the everyday stuff and to fill the void of the terrible corresponding issues I seem to have...it really does help to type your words out, share some pics, seems the posts that I think are the least interesting are the ones that meet others right where they are, it;s just what someone else needed to hear. Anyways, I know you are wonderful AND I'd love to hear/see the world thru your eyes AND I will NEED a regular fix of updates now that you are away!!!
