The Final Countdown!

Whoa, I ought to be ashamed of myself for not blogging in what feels like FOREVER! Let me say that the past two weeks have been crazy, not crazy bad, crazy beautiful! I finished up a great time of student teaching at the middle school with no real lead anywhere on a job other than the few interviews. On my last day of teaching I finally got the amazing phone call we all had prayed would eventually come. I was never so glad to hear Mr. Hardy's voice. I arrived at Tomahawk that afternoon and was given job! God is so faithful, and I am so blessed! I can't imagine things working out better, but He knew His timing was perfect. I have learned to trust much more than ever before and it was tough at times. With such a huge burden lifted, I was then able to enjoy graduation without wondering where I would end up in the fall. We have moved our things into the townhouse, and I can't wait to live there! I love our new place, and yet again we confess that it was not of our own power that we got such an amazing first place, all Him! We feel incredibly blessed to have such a nice home to call our own. Now tomorrow is the day before the wedding....HOLY COW! I never thought that I'd be able to say that. I feel very calm, I'm keeping busy-no doubt- but not stressing like I thought I might. I cannot wait to be with all of my friends and family on such a special day. This will probably be the last post that I write as Kelly Stone, kind of sad, but exciting too. I can't wait to see my future husband waiting for me at the front of the church. I just expect to have such a wonderful time this weekend! Well, for my last unmarried post...here are some pics:

And it begins...

Tuesday was the beginnings of moving into the townhouse, thus the reason for no new blogging. I am looking forward to posting some pictures later this week of the fun times, but for now I am staying very busy. To my faithful viewers, I'm sorry, but you will have to wait just a little longer. TTFN (ta ta for now!)

May Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it Wednesday already? Wow! The days are quickly slipping by faster and faster, which is fine with me! I am so ready for the big day to be here! I cannot believe that it is May! I never thought that it would get here! I am getting married this month...whoa, that is weird to write! Brian and I have been practically going to the townhouse every day to check on the little things that need to be done. Ugh, construction! We were supposed to have occupancy yesterday, the first of May. However, we have been waiting for some final repairs and fixes to take place. At least we don't need to move in ASAP, but I want to! I can't wait until this weekend...that's right, this weekend! We finally get to make it our place. It better happen this weekend, doggonit!

I had a lovely shower this weekend that was so much fun. Brian and I feel so blessed to be starting out with what we have been given. We really are blessed with so many wonderful family members and friends. This is the last week of teaching full time at BMS. I'm sad, but excited because I know that means I'm that much closer to having my own classroom. Still no leads, but God has it under control. It will not happen in my timing, but rather in His. It has been a frustrating lesson in patience, which is a new challenge for me. Well, not many pictures this week, but a few will do....
