Almost insane, but not quite

There is strength in a man
A friend
A lover
Someone who is there to cover
You when you are low
Someone who can know
That you can do better
Whatever
The circumstance of life is
In craziness of winter
Hustle and bustle
He knows you have the muscle
To get through it.


And he never gives up. This is how I get through the craziness of life. With the faithful, loving, and enduring support and love from the love of life, David Knepprath. There have been times in the past couple months where I felt I was at the end of my rope - when I felt I had to give up on something and just fail. Yet God has given the amazing gift of a true friend, a true love - someone who, despite the craziness of his own life will sacrifice and do whatever he can to make life easier for me. Love. I am still comprehending the awesomeness of this blessing God has given me. Ahh! Overwhelming but amazing!

And by the way ... 116 days until I am married to the most wonderful man in the world. I have no idea how I scored with this one, but I'll take it! :P

Last Week!

Last week was absolutely amazing - from Sunday to Saturday, an absolute blessing moment after moment! Many great things have happened, new milestones reached, and inevitably announcements that must be made.

First, great news - I finished Fall term 2008. It was brutal term - my first attempt at working full-time and going to school full-time, but praise GOD I survived and am ready to take on the next term. :) Only 5 terms to go!!

The next milestone of life is my great age - I have reached the infamous 21. It was a great time indeed. This year I was fortunate enough to celebrate it twice, first at Barberry Apartments doing arts and crafts with kids and friends, and then at Pambiche in NE Portland. Pambiche has amazing Cuban cuisine - thank you Oksana for suggesting it. Their website also has great music, which did greatly influence my decision to go there (along with their colorful archecture).





And last week concluded with the most wonderful, biggest decision of life events - I got engaged! It was the greatest galactic explosion yet, and there is plenty more to come. :)

Overall an exciting week that didn't simply end. The fun continues as we are snowed in and the city continues freezing. I had the day off today, and am wondering if the same will be for tomorrow...

And all of this BEFORE Christmas! I don't imagine life can get any better :)
