Wedding dress ordered!!!

I finally ordered my wedding dress! I am so excited! Mom and I made a trip down to Loiusville, Kentucky today for me to try on a dress. I am actually getting the first dress that I loved. This was even before Carl proposed...hahaha We ordered it today and was told it could take up to 16 weeks to come in. I can't wait! Insert a BIG sigh of relief here! Now I need to decide on bridesmaid dresses....but I am glad to have a major item checked off my to-do list!

Ladies Night

Tonight was Ladies night at church. Carrie Slaughter showed us how to make Christmas Wreaths. It got me a little more into the holiday spirit. It was a good time of fellowship and we learned a new craft. This is Mom's wreath... And this is the one I made...

Talk about an upgrade...

Last night, I went to the Pacer game with two girls from work, Julie and Amber. The Pacers were having a special where all seats were $25 or less. We bought 3 Upper Level or Balcony seats for $5 each. I had actually ordered them on Saturday and opted to pick them up at Will Call last night before the game. We were in section 226, in the 13th row. We were just minding our own business, enjoying the game. Close to the end of the first half, a younger-looking guy in a suit came up to our section. He had a portfolio and a walkie-talkie with him, so I thought to myself that he must work for Conseco or the Pacers. Well, he sat off to the side for a few minutes, then came and sat behind us. He asked if one of us were Vanessa, so Julie and Amber point to me. I told him that I was Vanessa. He then handed me three tickets for the Lower Level. He said that he was told by his boss to find some people in the balcony and give them Lower Level seats. These seats were in section 20, which is just behi

Layout change

I am in the midst of changing my blog template. I am not sure if I am going to keep this background or not. I tried another one that 3 coloumns, but it didn't work for some reason. I lost my list of links so I am having to re-add them. I am too tired to finish it tonight, though. I am going to bed...*yawn*!

New Christmas CD

If you want to have some new Christmas music, go get the Casting Crowns "Peace on Earth" CD. It is very good. I like all the songs on the CD, but my favorites would probably be "God is With Us" or "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," which is an istrumental. Here is their website... And, yeah...I broke my own rule of no Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

As I get ready to turn off the computer and head to bed, still not sure who our next president will be, I am reminded of the One who is always in control. God knows whether we will have Obama or McCain for our President...He has known for a long time. My God knows what He is doing...and that, my friend, gives me hope for the days ahead. Check out this post by Joel Rosenberg, author of the Epicenter. I thought it was very good. Remember, God is in control...always has been, always will be...regardless of who the President of the United States is. Peace...

Encouraging Word

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. ~ Isaiah 43:2, NLT What I needed today...
