Crazy Week!

Whew this week has been a crazy one! Unfortunately Josh and I were unable to find some furniture for our apartment, so pictures will not be uploaded like I promised...so sorry for that! But I will definitely upload some as soon as we find the perfect furniture :) Finding furniture has actually been way more difficult than me or Josh ever thought it would be. It's a major purchase...and being the thrifty people that we are, we can't find any deal that is good enough! Currently we have a futon and some mismatched chairs that Josh has had for a VERY long time and he will definitely be happy to see the futon go :)

Just to update you on our lives at the moment: Josh is attending MSU and is majoring in Art and Design and minoring in recording arts. He is a junior and only has one year left (thank goodness)! I am currently going to St. Johns College of Nursing. This is my first semester and it has be quite the journey so far. This week was my first week at the hospital. I was only there for 4 hours on Tuesday so it was a good transition into the hospital setting. Not much happened, but it was fun to interact with the nurses and patients on the floor. Nursing is very challenging and a daunting task, but I know with all my heart that God has called me to this occupation and He will help me through it! My favorite saying is: If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Also on Tuesday, I went to my first wedding dress fitting! My mom and dad were able to attend and I'm pretty sure that they liked the dress :) I am in love with the show, "Say Yes to the Dress" which airs on TLC. But unlike some of the girls on that show, I do not have a real emotional connection with my dress. Sure, it's gorgeous and I love it....a lot- but it is just a dress and the most important part is the marriage that comes after the wedding :) Any time I get overwhelmed with all the wedding details, I just remind myself that nothing matters as long as it's Joshua I'm getting married to.

On Wednesday Josh and I had our engagement photo shoot. I was a tad chilly in my sundress, but overall we had the perfect weather for the outdoor photos. Matt and Heidi Giles are our photographers. They are good friends with my sister and Josh interned with them for a few months. They are amazing photographers and we had a fantastic time :) We started out in the studio and then headed downtown to a few rundown areas. Afterward, we drove Forest Hill Park which is located on North Grant. Heidi uploaded a few teaser pics to Facebook and we can't wait to see the rest of  them!

The weeks are flying by, and in 3 months I will become Mrs. Campbell! Right now I'm just trying to focus on school and push all wedding details to the back of my mind. I have come down with a major cold- most likely due to all the stress! Prayers would be much appreciated since this will be-yet again-another busy week :)
