A funny thing happened in the dressing room...




something I never thought I would hear come out of my dear friend's mouth:

"Misty, I think those are too BIG? Do you want to try a 4?" (insert "open-mouth emoticon" here)

cool! now i have cute new jeans that actually fit! I almost wore them out of the store, like when you're little, and you get new shoes, and you wanna wear them out the door? I really wanted to, after I had put the cute jeans on, that fit, then put on the super-big-parachute jeans I have been wearing for way too long! Girls, you all know that shopping for jeans is NO FUN! you'll find a pair you "LOVE", they fit great! next time you go back to the same store (because you wore holes in the other pairs) to get the same style in the same size (the ones that fit great, remember??) they are NO LONGER THE SAME!! I swear, sometimes they just alter the "size" a little. or they add stretch. or they don't have the "boyfriend" cut anymore. and what's up with trying the same SIZE on at the SAME STORE...but in the different "styles" they fit differently???? talk about confusing and often frustrating! These are just a few of the reasons why I just kept on wearing the baggy jeans for so many months. Now to totally change the subject. Jon and I have been visiting a "new" church, Willow Park Baptist. It is 30 minutes closer than Pleasantview, where Brother Moody is the Pastor. Brother Moody married Jon and I, and he is the reason we visited WPBC. He informed us that his very good friend is the sr. pastor over there! yay! Needless to say, i really really really like this church. I love the worship, the preaching, the people, so far not one negative thing has occurred. Most importantly I have felt the Spirit of the Lord moving there, and I feel Jon and I are growing closer to God and each other. It is something very special, to pray with your spouse, and to feel in the Lord's presence and know that He is real and He is there! I am feeling today drawn to possibly (BIG on the "possibly") audition to play acoustic guitar for the worship team. This is something WPBC is just about to start, so far they don't have any "live" music, they have a big choir and music with words on the screen. This morning on the way to work I felt a little tug in that direction, and also towards the youth group....doing something with them. I have honestly always felt the Lord pulling me towards the youth, and to get involved and do something! I will now ask ya'll to just pray for me about these things. Also please keep in your prayers for Jon and I to make good choices about where to live, and if we should build a house or buy a pre-existing one! Well there ya have it. I have bared my heart to you all this morning, my friends. Please be patient with me on blog postings, ya'll know I don't have internet at my home. I am still waiting to get the "professional" pics back from Mindy. When I do there will be more posts of pretty pics! I will also try to get copies to many of you of ones you will want to have. I love you all dear friends!

Me and my HUSBAND :O)


Here's a couple of shots that Elisa took from the wedding. As you all have probably heard from talking to me, my wedding was AMAZING!!! It was everything I imagined and then some. I was fine all day up until I put my dress and veil on in the chapel. Then I started the heavy-breathing, edge-of-passing-out stage. I was upstairs in the bridal chamber alone with the bridal attendant. She opened the door so we could hear the music from the piano as the processional began. She would then tell me little updates "the groomsmen are walking out now", "the bridesmaids..."...then I was told to stand up and await the lighting "cue". I saw my two Daddies at the bottom of the stairs waiting for me and I about lost it! I made it down the stairs no problem and tried to remember everything I was supposed to do from rehearsal the night before. Then when I got on "stage" with Jon and was holding hands with him I was alright. The whole ceremony was beautiful, emotional, and spiritual. Brother Moody laid his hands on our shoulders and prayed after the ring exchange (i think) and I wept. Then after "amen" Jon was wiping a tear or two as well. :O) I am still GIDDY from it all! I didn't want my wedding to ever end! I think I may go into "post-wedding depression" lol! I am so happy with the pictures I have seen so far, and I know there are a million more out there that are awesome! I will post more info, stories, and pics later. For now I gotta get on home!

so what?

ok, having VERY limited time to blog....here is a short list of my "so what"'s! thanks Jess for getting this started lol
*so what if I shop at wal-mart!
*so what if I spent 2 hours IN wal-mart last week, the first 30 minutes of that being spent organizing the "cards with sound"....i'm sorry but that just bugs me! "THIS isn't the theme song from HAPPY DAYS! IT goes over HERE!"
*so what if i'm in my 30's and watch hannah montana.....or the world premiere of high school musical 2!
*so what if i'm in my 30's and still buy the soundtracks to hannah montana or high school musical! i've always enjoyed disney songs! they lift you up and get you happy! ok, most of them. i must disclaim here that DUMBO is the worst disney movie ever. i mean depressing!! so i didn't get the soundtrack to it. "baby of mine"....that's all i have to say about that.
*so what if i have faith like a child!
*so what if i don't believe "scientists" or "the scientific proof" for stuff! like evolution. or the earth is 55 gabillion years old, it's proven by carbon testing! i believe faith means you have to step out on that ledge and just believe God IS. just trust in HIM. i'm not trying to find the proof of why stuff is the way it is. i just believe in God. one day, when i'm in Heaven with Him, he will explain all my questions!
how could i forget this one!?
*so what if "i think i'm just gonna go home" HA!
