Planning, Planning, Planning

So if you know me well you probably know that I am a planner. If I could plan everything now I would. I like to be in control and I like to know what is going to happen. Well life doesn't really work that way and the more I plan and what things to go a certain way, when they don't I just get disappointed. Needless to say here is what I have been up to lately.
1-Planning our wedding
2-Searching for a house
3-Going to school
4-Searching for a job
I have been doing a lot of planning for the wedding and actually have most of it done. I still need to find a caterer and finalize some other details though. I also have to pick out Karson's wedding band. The past few weekends we have been house hunting. With the market the way it is it cost just about the same to buy as it does to rent so we thought we would go for it. I'm excited but it can be stressful. There is hardly anything in Hewitt we like that we can afford, and if we can it is really old. We actually found a new development that is building new houses for very reasonable prices, the only thing is we would have to compromise on the location. We would be about 25 minutes away. I know that isn't too far, but this is a big step for us. Anyways, we are going to look into it more and keep searching. Hopefully we will find the right house for us soon, I would like to have it all ready for when we get married. When I'm not planning I'm going to school, which is stressful in itself. I don't know what my problem is but I have been really aggrevated by school lately and I don't particularily care for all of my teachers this semester, some of them are so unorganized. That drives me up the wall. Other than that everything is fine. Oh and I'm also trying to find a job for this summer and next year. I'm hoping to get an aide job at a school next year, since I will be starting the UTA program and will be going to school at night. Well I have a lot on my plate right now and I hope everything works out. Pray for me!

Christmas 2008 (I know it's late)

We had a wonderful Christmas and Karson came to our Christmas Eve get together we always have at my Aunt and Uncles' house. It was great to have everyone together. Here are a few pictures.
