New year.

Well the new year is here and the holiday season flew by. I actually cannot believe how quickly November and December went by. They were great months, and much did happen! For example: I quit my job and started a new one. Arthur and I had our one year. My cousin had a baby girl. Arthur got sick. Then I got sick. Three Christmases took place. A trip to Odell lake with my family. My roommate got engaged. Love strengthened, family relationships were challenged and grew, my patience and determination were tested, God revealed places I needed to grow in, and lastly, I got an amazing, beautiful, fancyyy camera that I love to use from my wonderful boyfriend. 

One night later I lie in the same bed with a million thoughts racing through my mind, per the usual. Tonight my roommate got home and I made her an engagement basket with cute wedding stuff in it. That's when I decided I want to become a wedding planner. Or a designer. It would be so fun! And weddings are such a happy and loving thing. It would be incredible to help create beautiful memories for couples. 

I also came to the realization that Arthur is perfect for me. God created this amazing man for me! I am so blessed. Sometimes in the middle of an argument- we will just start cracking up. And then we will just kiss, hug and make up. It's such a beautiful thing. I love it. I love him. Regardless, I'd still like to overcome fights in general but we are both sinners and selfish people at times and fights are bound to happen. But when we can laugh in the middle of these arguments, our love really shines through and it's extremely encouraging. 

I'm almost better from being sick thankfully, church is tomorrow, and school the next day. Things are flying by and it's all a whirlwind and it's fun, but enjoying the moment is something I really need to focus on this year. Enjoying each moment, and each person as is, with deep, extreme thankfulness in my heart for the life I possess and the gifts God has given me that I do not deserve is what needs to be my goal. God is powerful, gracious, loving, forgiving, but yet he can love such a sinful, selfish woman and see me as pure and perfect. What a love. God is so incredible. 

Goodnight :)

The engagement basket I made my roommate :). It had magazines, nail polish, a deck of "52 tips for the bride to be", ring pops (of course!), a journal, a handmade wedding planner with a 7 par checklist, ring post it notes, and a picture frame with a picture of them :)

That time when Derek and Katie visited Okinawa...

I think I should start off saying I have the coolest brother ever, and due to the fact that he’s marrying Katie, I guess she’s cool by association. JK. She’s great too. What makes them even cooler is that fact that they came and visited our little Japanese island we call home. (Yes, it’s OURS!) After spending a few days in Tokyo, they flew down south to Japan’s “Hawaii”.      I’ll have you know, we checked the forecast the day they were arriving and it said rain for the next 6 days (the length of time they were here for). With lots of prayers, I’m so thankful to say that the weather was amazing the whole time they were here! It was sunny and warm and perfect. Thank you Jesus!   Arthur and I met Derek and Katie at the airport, only to be greeted with what I would picture as the Japanese version of them. They walked off with facemasks on and if it weren’t for their height, I may have mistaken them for true Japanese! ;) (see video below) They were s...

Tiffany & Co Bridal Shower

So you've seen my Coral themed bridal shower (For those of you that haven't, you should definitely check it out here ) but as my duties as a maid of honor, I was given the opportunity and privilege to host my cousin's bridal shower.  When I asked her what she wanted as a theme- she knew instantly.  "Breakfast at Tiffany's".  I had no idea how many great ideas I would find on Pinterest under this category, but let me tell you- there was millions!  It was so fun.  We had it this last saturday at the same place I had mine at- so some of the things look pretty similar, just in a different color.  Everyone was asked to wear black which was adorable, and the bride wore a black and white dress so she stood out.  She looked so beautiful.
