Blogs, Inspiration and Love

My dad and Me!

I have to write for a minute about a new blog that I have been reading. Let me go back a couple weeks ago.....

I was sitting on my couch watching the news when the news anchor guy on the t.v. spoke of a Mesa couple that were in a plane crash back in August(they survived, but have sustained critical burns). He mentioned that the Wife (Stephanie) had a blog called nieniedialogues (http://www.nieniedialogues.blogspot.com) and I immediately went to KPHO.com to find the blog. I ended up not being able to find it, but just googled the name instead and found it. I told Nick what I was doing, and at first just thought I was a dork for trying to find a blog of someone that I did not even know. When I finally found it, I could not stop reading it. IT....IS...AMAZING! Because she has been in the hospital since August, none of posts are new, but people have been going back into her posts and reposting their favorite ones. I am warning you now....if you want something that will take up a lot of your time (very well worth it) then I recommend reading her blog. The way Stephanie writes (yes I am calling her by her name, because once you read, you too will feel like you know her personally) She has this vibe about her that just makes you want to keep reading. She has 4 children and what seems to be a wonderful Husband. I honestly fell in love with this family. The kind of mother and wife she seems to be is very inspirational. 

You can ask my family the impact she has had on me. I do not even know this women, but she has inspired me to cook (ask Nick, he loves the new me), I have painted my Kitchen a bright color, I am making lists of things I want to do in my life, and WILL achieve them! I can not wait to become a wife and a mother, so I can have the love and patience like she does. You may think I am crazy for thinking all of this, just because of a blog that I read, but once you do, you will understand!...all I can say is, the health of this couple(and their family) are in my every day prayers.

Anyways......I do not have much to update about....I have been so busy with school, I can barley keep up with myself. I am proud that I have come this far, and have worked really hard. I had midterms last week and did very well, So I can be proud of that!

Our wedding is coming so soon! only about 4 months until the BIG day! February will be here before we know it! I can not wait to be Mrs. Nicholas Mallaire..., and for him to be my hunky hubby! I got my BEAUTIFUL dress (at least I think it is) last month...it is my DREAM dress! and everything else seems to be falling into place...one step at a time. Planning a wedding and going to school full time, and working is not an easy task, but I am doing the best that I can. Hopefully I can get Nick to go with me and register this weekend ( we probably should have done that a while ago). We are thinking Bed bath and Beyond, and Target....I always find things there I want! And go pick out our wedding bands (as in rings, not a musical band, as Nick thought I was referring too)!

I am spending this evening at my dads! I love my dad! I can not even express the love I have for that man! He is simply the easiest person to love! but my aunt and uncle from Colorado are here, so I am going to go spend the evening with them....Ill post pics later of my night! 

Oh and to my love, Nicholas......who is at work right now.....I miss your face and love you ohh so much!
