Change

Hey everyone!!!  I want to start keeping you updated on my life, but it's just so hard to find time to write on here. 

Things are going great!  Work is so good, I wake up every morning  blessed to be apart of something so huge (If any of you are wanting  a part time job let me know, I can hook you up)  Married life is good, Bryson started his new job and is now working regular day hours!!!!  It's like we are newlyweds all over again.  From the time we got married until a couple weeks ago he was working 3-11 and I was working 9-4....so we crossed paths every once in awhile, but now I've got him all to myself!!!!!!!!!  My family is  doing well, excited that it's summer time.  My brother Benjamin graduated a couple weeks ago...It's so crazy he's not supposed to be this old yet.   My sister is going to be in 6th grade which is even crazier b/c next year she will be able to go to the youth group.  Weird.  My friends are all doing fairly well, I miss Rhiannon 500 times a day.  And we haven't had a girls night in forever, i'm going to have to get on that!   Well I hope you all are doing great!

Home!

We're home, and I'm a married woman!  Married life is so amazing!  I never ever thought it would be this much fun!!!  We just sit and laugh...it's so awesome, God is so good!  Our apartment is getting back to normal after putting all our gifts away...and life is getting back to normal....we both had to go back to work yesterday  :(   We contemplated unemployment b/c we didn't want to leave each other...but I think we made a wise decision by going back to work. 

The honeymoon went well!  We left early due to the hurrican/tropical storm, and b/c NO ONE on the island spoke english.  They couldn't even help us to our room, or through customs....but we had so much fun being together...I LOVE HIM!

People amaze me....

People amaze me....5 days until my wedding, I guess they think i'm not stressed enough.  Friends...that's a crazy word

Marissa...i'm down here!

Good morning/afternoon.  It still feels like morning to me, but the time says it's afternoon.  I've had a rough couple of days.  On Wednesday night I went with the Ya Ya's to work on the programs for my wedding, we had a great time....a couple crank phone calls, some gas(lisa), girl talk, food, lots of laughing, and getting things done.  So it was 12:00 A.M and I was leaving...I turned to say goodbye to everyone with 5 bags in my hand and some how forgot that there was a step down from carrie's apartment.  I FELL...all i heard in the fall down was a pop.  I was terrified.  I yelled to Marissa "help i'm down here"  and they all ran outside....We thought my ankle was broken.  Loudly I started saying Jesus No, 9 days Jesus no 9days...  I went to the ER and thankfully found out that I had a sprain.  The doctor said you'll be fine in 2 weeks.  2 WEEKS?!?!?!?!  WHAT?  Does he realize that in 8 short days i'm getting married to the man of my dreams and everything is supposed to be perfect?  I cried, and cried, cried some more and a little more....then realized that the Doctor knew nothing.  MY GOD IS BIGGER than that doctor who wore his pants to high.  Today my ankle/foot feel sore and tight, but it's healing!  It really is!  Thank you Jesus!!

Next order of business.....terror in the sky.  How am I supposed to feel safe getting on an American airline and traveling across the country?  I don't feel safe, i've had so many second thoughts about this....but once again, i'm not in control.  I struggle with this feeling....I want to be in control, i want to deal with everything on my own...and God is standing there wanting me to give it all to him.  It's so hard to do.  I'm praying though!  Pray for us also!  I love you all!!!!!!!!

I'M IN THE TEENS!!!!!

19 days...do you know how long i've been waiting to get into the teens?   Holy moly mostaccoli!  This is so exciting!  It's a terrific feeling!  LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Life decisions...it's so hard growing up.  Now, stop laughing!  It really is.  I know FOR A FACT that i've been called into the ministry.  But is it that easy? I made a huge mistake by leaving the church.  I was running from God, not the church.  But God has really been working on me lately.  He keeps letting me in on this little secret that no matter how far I run he's going to be running right after me.  I love that feeling, but it makes things hard.  I love being in control, but God is showing me who's really boss.  OH MAN!  You little stinker....I want to be in control of everything......Help me Lord to trust you with my hopes, dreams, and future.  I love you!!!

19 days untill I'm Mrs. Ashley Tyler!
