Alright.....It's been so long. so here it goes, because I've got plenty of homework to do.

I've been really busy, seems as though i don't even have time to breathe a little. I've placed the wedding so to speak on the back burner, Just cause I have so many other things i need to do.
School has been causing me to sleep late and not eat right, not so good, but I'm getting pretty much everything done and enjoying being a stranger at SAGU. There are people there that for some reason are way younger than me, it seems, and are interesting....form far, far away. I guess its cause I'm older, no not old, just a little older, with a different mind set. so it gives me more encouragement to GET OUT ASAP!

My life is great, I'm everyday more and more in Love with my fiance. I'm also trying to understand the life that walks by faith. FOr instance this Saturday, well I owe $500.00 to SAGU, because for some reason the Government thinks I make "too much money" for a college student. So I am depending solely on God to provide that money. So Please pray for me, that I find a black bag full of money in it or something, cause this "overpayed" college student doesn't have enough to cover that amount. (Interesting, I think where does all my money go? And truly I don't know...Starbucks?)

Anyway I gotta get to doing homework so I'll talk to yall later.

God Bless......

We are looking at some places we can have the wedding at and looks like my church is the CHEAPEST plase. I don't mind at all. cause we have a pretty nice church. Anyway, I was thinking and well looks like we have a lot of people, so far, that we are going to invite....I hope if they all come that we have enough food and space for them. LOL. Anyway if anyone knows about any cool, cute or fun ideas about weddings leave me a note or something. I am so open for ideas. Can't wait to chow yall some pic's of me and my honey.

Oh and I almost forgot .....FELLOW Southwesterner's we will be starting school next week. YAY! more stress!!wo-hoo!!! So PLEASE pray for me I don't want to get overstressed with planning the wedding and school and work....oh Lord! this is going to be all depending on GOD, I'm positive He will make it all GOOD.

See some of yall soon.......

Okay THis is the greatest weekend of my life!
This is how it begins....
SO me and Carlos (my boyfriend) go to Houston, for my aunts 25th anniversary. Which I must add was so beautiful. I brought Carlos with us and was so happy he decided to join us. WE went with my parents and well another one of my aunts. It was great. On Saturday, well we arrived at about 7:30 pm and checked in to our hotel, seperate of course! But anyway my sister Nydia(the oldest) had called us to go to see this pianist in Downtown Houston at an amphitheater. It was marvelous, well we didn't get to see the pianist cause we were lost for a while. But we did get to see this really good orchestra. I thought man how beautiful, it sounded so beautiful and well I was with my love what more could I want? SO we decided to go for a walk (without my sister and her four kids and husband). Which I might add was a little weird but hey I figured they wanted me and Carlos to spend some time alone together. Anyway, we walked to this beautiful fountain, there were three actually. It was a busy intersection and so late that I was a little scared in a town I don't really know and all alone with Carlos. I was glad there were alot of cars, in case some one tried to kiddnap us or something there would be wittnesses. Just kidding! but seriously we were there and I was about to start walking around the bigger fountain and Carlos grabs me. He brings me really close to him, Ahhh he so cute! And well he begins to just hug me real close and tell me he Loves me and stuff. (at this point I think HMMM?) I figured no not in HOuston....he is just letting me now he really loves me. Then he asks if I love him like three or four times, and I'm like "babe of course I do, whats wrong with you? duh!" and asks me like one more time and asks "how much?" and I'm like "you see that star? well to there and past it, babe." HE smiles really big and hugs me once again. Then I begin to feel that his heart is going extremely fast, so fast that I freak out, I mean were in the middle of a busy intersection and his heart has accelerated too fast....I begin to think maybe he is going to faint or something, too young or a heart attack. Then he begins to shake...then I get a little scared cause that is so not normal. After that he gets down on one knee and is about to ask me and I'm like "YEAH!" then he is like "babe, let me ask you." so he asked me to be his wife...on that day.....HOw wonderful, so unexpected and so stinken cute that I got a little teary eyed. He finally asked me and it is real now.
For those of you that don't know well I had already known that HE was the one, but of course I began to think well he is taking a little long, and I was already looking for wedding dresses and all that so I decided to stop cause It wasn't right. My parents, I'm sure were thinking I was in cloud nine and not in reality. I am too young and still in school, college. Well I'm the youngest of five so of course they are pretty much still witht he mentality I'm a little girl. But they are so happy for me, and hey so AM I!
And my best friends asked me "do you feel different?" Heck yeah! I feel like this is a new stage in my life and a transition period to a new beginning with the love of my life...next to the Lord, Carlos is numero UNO. I am so excited, we can start looking for stuff for our wedding and man it is just great!
WEll that is all for today, just want to keep yall informed! thanks for reading...

well today was a bit boring. I woke up really tired and didn't have much energy to do anything. I didn't get to talk to my love today. I guess he was really busy. Hope he calls me tonight. Anyway....I went to church and that was the highlight of my day, which in any case it should be. I am so glad I went! It was great, althoughk, Lord knows, I still need some help in a few areas. The preaching was about joy and to keep our joy no matter what may come our way. The preacher was Angel Quilan, or Kuilan, not sure how to spell that. But this man is awesome, God uses him in an awesome way. He knows the Bible by memory and he doesn't even read the verse to us, he just recites it. It's crazy. He is Puertoriquen and very good at preaching, God used him tonight to tell the church that we need to be joyfull at all times regardless of our situation or circumstance. Although I know that is one of our fundamentals and we should know it, I think we tend to forget it. Just be happy, enjoy being His creation and His children. We are so blessed, and not allow the devil take our joy, better yet...don't let yourself give it to him. Ahhhhh. What a relief knowing that no matter what may happen, GOD is in CONTROL. praise Jesus! He is so good to us, Amen? So why don't we keep ourselves in a spirit of joy? common know you know better! He is still the one who reings in victory, and He dwells in us as we should also dwell in HIM! praise the Lord!

See I had planned tonight to complain, here and what happens? Man I can't help but think that my "problems" are so miniscule to God that I really don't have to worry about them. He is in control, and just as Paul states in Philipians 4:11-13. I am content in any situation or circumstance and know that in Christ I can do all things because He gives me strength....well that was my paraphrase. Not word for word butyou get the point. Man I just have to leave yall with that. YOu are more than a conquerer in CHrist!

God BLess...Love yall

Well here is aother day. I was so bored. I decided to start doing a little more than just running today. I need more of a challenge. Unfortunately I feel that I didn't do much, I tried doing crunches and realized that it Hurts! I can't believe that I can't get to 7 sit ups. for those of you that don't know, well I feel a bit "chunky", not fat neccesarily, just plump at least more than before. I used to very slim. I feel that I am becoming, well I have let go of myself. Anyway, I really hurt my back and not to mention my stomach, not really my abs. Oh well, I think I am just going to stick to running. hopefully that will cause all the access flubber to shrink.
Well I know that was a weird start, but it was on my mind. I am so sorry, I think some of you got the notion that I am engaged, unfortunatley I'm not just yet. I am, hopefully, soon going to be engaged. LORD willing. I'm really excited, me and Carlos have been looking into reception and ceremony sites, but not too much. I feel maybe we should make it official first. I think my parents think I am just fantasizing about getting engaged and later getting married. It is a bit interesting, I think they are just in denial. I'm the youngest of 5 children so I don't think they want to let me go just yet. BUt I know I've found that man that I compliment, so I am so excited. I am so blessed with him, GOd is really good to me. I so don't even deserve this guy. I think I will post a pic of me and him soon. we look so cute.
I think that is all for know.
P.S. If anyone knows what I should do to reduce my jiggly skin, or access skin on my stomach, and legs please inform me. I would greatly appreciate it.

Love yall
God Bless...
Melissa
