This is for you Chris!

I was just reading through someone's blog and they had repeatedly apologized for the lack of blogging. Well, here I go....I'M SORRY! There is so much to update on this blog that it's just absolutely ridiculous that I even have one! Don't people with blogs update them? At least once every couple of weeks? So here's for a toast-to blogging, it's time to enjoy the point of you in the first place and I'm going to use you more and more and more and more. It's important to me that you all know what's going on in my life and well, soon this will no longer be the sweet life of Britt, its going to be the sweet life of Jase and Brit! Actually, for some odd reason he thinks this is a lame title. Made sense when I was a freshman in college:) But I would agree, it's time for a change! Especially if I will be actually using this wonderful resource!

So, here it goes!

Life is WONDERFUL! Everything that I have dreamed of over the last ten years of my life seems to be coming true. God, you are so good:) The last blog that I had was pictures of Jason and I. At that time, we were just friends getting to know each other, and well, falling in love. God has written our story out so beautifully and perfect for me, and I praise Him for it daily! Over the summer we spent a lot of time talking on the phone and traveling back and forth from Canada to Oregon to spend a few precious hours together. We had made our relationship official for those who desired a label for the two of us, and well, for myself! It was killing me that I couldn't call Jason, mine. After coming back to school in September, it was amazing to be able to be closer together again and in January we got engaged! January 1st to be exact:) I'll have to post the story of our engagement on here too. Jason did an amazing job making me feel like a princess that's for sure! And it even matches the ring he got me:) After the excitement of being newly engaged settled, we began our planning of the special day. It's coming together SO beautifully and the day is going to be one more dream come true. We look forward to standing in front of our God and those whom we really love and cherish and making the commitment to honor and cherish each other for the rest of our lives. Only three months to go! Next year we will be living here in Abbotsford finishing up our final times at CBC and just growing together as a couple. I'm so excited to turn that blessing of a condo into our own little home. Yay:)

As for this summer, Jason will be staying here in BC working and spending time with his friends and family, as well as gearing up to be a husband! It'll be really nice for him to be able to take a break from school and just spend time with the friends that he can't see as much during the school year. I will be going back home to Oregon and spending that time with my family, just soaking in those last few months as a single girl (not single, but you know what I mean) It's going to be such a blessing being close to my family every day, for they are truly amazing people and I love them so much! God has truly blessed Jason and I both with amazing families. Next year Jason will be back in school full time and I will be working and taking a few classes as well. In about two years we'll both be finished with school and heading into whatever God has for us!

Right now I am studying for my last final tomorrow (environmental issues) and just packing up this adorable little basement suite. It's been so awesome living with my best friend Nikki. We've honestly had such a blast and we look forward to being each others maid-of-honor's!

God is so good and I hope that you are taking a moment each day to thank him for what he has given you and the incredible earth that we live in. Don't you just love seeing all these flowers coming out?!

There you go Chris:)
