Can you say....

108 days til the wedding! WHAT?!?!? Where has the time gone? I feel like it was just a month ago we got engaged and here we are at almost 3 1/2 months til the wedding...We have gotten so much done though and it's amazing! We still have some things to do such as buy the wedding bands, finish up the music selections, and some little things here and there. It's crazy though how quickly time has gone.

The last few days have been spent trying to figure out where we wanted to be after the wedding. At first we thought we'd be in Bristol, TN/VA because we both had opportunities there....but then I got called a couple of days before my interview at a camp and was told not to come because they had hired someone....and Aaro

n was going to coach at a local college but then they decided to hire a head coach instead of an assistant coach. So that was soon out of the picture. Then Aaron heard of a graduate assistant coaching job in Kentucky where he would be able to get his masters for free as well as a couple of years of experience coaching. Most places prefer you to have a masters to coach. But then we never heard back from that coach and by that time we had decided we wanted to stay around Montreat longer. So now it looks like we'll be here for at least the summer and hopefully longer! We are very excited about this because it means we will be around people that we know and we have a support system here. We are also going to be closer to our parents living here. Now the only thing is finding a place to live!

Things are moving along now and it's exciting!! Whoo hoo!!

Snow Day!

Well....Montreat has finally cancelled classes but it's on a day that isn't even snowing right now....they've cancelled because of a possible storm but can't cancel it when we actually have a few inches of snow and ice on the ground.....

But it's a chance for me to practice takin

g pictures!!! Yay! So I'm hoping to get some portraits done today for practice and I'm starting with my wonderful fiance!!! Then hopefully some more people later on today but we'll see.....and then I'll post some pictures on here for ya'll to see!!

howard...

Howard Fisher passed away last night....

He was a great person and I'm a better person for knowing him as well. He was a wonderful friend and always joked around. He was an amazing guy! He loved playing soccer and was an outstanding goalie who towered everyone at 6 foot 7 and yet he was such a gentle guy as well. As you guys know he was disgnosed with Aplastic Anemia which means his bone marrow wasn't producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets for his body. The school was working on getting him back over here to the states to get treatment and hopefully get better. When we were so closed to getting him back here we ran into more obstacles. At the time it was hard to see why it was happening. However, now I know. It was God's way of letting us know that Howard was where he needed to be right now....with his family in his homeland surrounded by loved ones.

I found out this morning from a friend of mine and didn't want to believe it was true and I broke down. However, I now know it is true and it tears my heart apart that this happened to Howard because he was such a great person. He was everyone's friend. Now he's an angel in heaven who is watching all of us everyday now. As much as I wish he were still here on earth I'm happy that he is now free of pain and suffering. He's sitting next to God up there. The best thing of all is... He was a CHRISTIAN! I know he's up in heaven and I can't wait to see him again one day!

You will be greatly missed Fisher! My prayers are with your family and friends!!
