So, technically we are in day number sixteen of my summer although the day really hasn't even started yet. Sometimes I think that 6 or 7 AM should mark the official start of a new day OR maybe 12:00 should be rearranged to coincide with the beginning morning, but I suppose way back they weren't thinking about my ever-so-important blog about my summer when making the calendar & time measurements...only the moon and sun and all of that. :P
Today, Brent & I went to his mom & dads for some steak. Honestly, that is all we done. Brent did go spray off his truck. haha. Laziness for today is ok though BECAUSE tomorrow begins nonstop eventfulness!
Brent, of course, has work Monday, Thursday, & Friday.
Monday-Brent is also going to get a haircut. I am going to UC to try to get my credits transferred AND get transcripts all in one day. Please pray for me. I know it is trivial to most of the needs in the world, but a small one for me would be appreciated! I am going to enjoy a $5 all you can eat lunch at UC. I plan on picking up some primer & white paint since I'll be out anyways. & hopefully go to the board to finally get this permit business squared away & see about my class refund if it isn't too late. (PLEASE PRAYERS, PLEASE!)
Tuesday: WE ARE CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!
Wednesday: Happy WEST VIRGINIA DAY! & painting day for me! :P Hopefully, if my husband will be so kind to pull out all of my cabinets for me & take the base boards up which I may actually be able to do myself!
Thursday-Saturday: Will be spent on my house! :) SOOOO HAPPY! I hope my friends and family come visit me just to celebrate my happiness. I really don't even care if they help or not.
I will also be packing for the beach BECAUSE---
Sunday: We will be going to Myrtle Beach! Staying at Hotel Blue. It is the one with the swim up bar which will take care of one of my to-dos on this here bucket list! :P Also, I can get my 6 cups from Ultimate California Pizza & RiverCity Cafe! Oh, ya know & dig my toes in the sand and feel that ocean breeze! :)
I wish our bodies had some mechanism that expressed extreme happiness like crying expresses extreme sadness. Sure there is smiling, but there is also frowning. I guess right now I am just so happy that I could cry! My life is at its absolute best & years ago I would have never imagined my life to be this great. Ever since my husband came into my life it has just improved & improved. He has been so great to me! & because I met him, God was reintroduced into my life which is another reason I think everything has been improving! Ever since I was little I could recite the Lord's Prayer. Of course, for at least 2 years I just mumbled it & thought that would be enough--childhood innocence at its best. Then I started recited it with meaning...taking in wholeheartedly what it meant. Every time I got to the part 'Please forgive us of our debts as we forgive our debtors' or as many of you know, 'forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us,' I would pay special attention to it, internalize it, say it slower, and really identify it more than the other lines. I felt as if I had so many debtors & I had so many debts to God as well. Now when I say it and try to think of specific examples, it is so hard to internalize because I don't have many debts nor do I have debtors any longer. (only one that I have come close to completely forgiving.) I feel that the less debts we have as human beings the less people we have go against us. I thank God so much for this. I see people on Facebook all the time complaining about drama & the people that do them wrong. This generally occurs because they themselves are just as bad. Sure, I am far from perfect. I have plenty of faults, but they are lessening as I grow closer to God. I know I will never be perfect & I know that I will always have a chance of getting hurt by other people, but I also know that I will never be hurt as bad as I have in he past ever again. I have a God that walks beside me through everything, a God & a Lord that are forgiving to my debts and are always here for me--ALWAYS!
A God and a Lord that have blessed me with this life, with my husband, and this happiness that I am feeling! EXTREME HAPPINESS--I didn't think it possible for me! :)
