Happy Valentines Day! Let's not break the bank!

GIFT IDEAS

Urban Outfitters has so many cute things! In their Sale Section right now is their 2x3 graphic print rug! This precious piece of lovely is only $9.99 last I checked and Super cute! Great for a room/dorm/EVERYTHING. This is so precious and just one of many wonderful gifts that can be found at urbanoutfitters.com 
I LOVE THE SALE SECTION! 

Next I've got to Rave about something that can be found at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. This Super Cute French Coffee Press is so cool that I want one even though I don't drink coffee! This particular deal is exactly what I'm planning to get my little sister and one of my close friends before they head off to college and internships! I am sure it will be a hit! 

Tunes... Well of course an iTunes card is nice BUT Jon Bryant's c-d "Two Coasts for Comfort" is such a win. Lately the song Seattle has been stuck in my heart! That is a good thing btw. It can be found on Amazon and you can listen to the music on myspace as well. This Canadian man has such a dreamy voice it's just the thing for Valentines even if you're getting it for yourself! I have a fiance and I just might get myself this one! It is just that good! Plus it can be nice to roll old school and get the c-d. 

BOOKS!!! I have recently become a huge fan of this lovely site called betterworldbooks.com 
Why you ask?
WELL! All the money spent goes towards literacy programs AND there is ALWAYS Free Shipping!
Not only is this a great place to get books but I have a great book recommendation as well! Two in fact! First is A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken. I have and probably always will have a fascination with this book. Secondly, Crazy Love by Francis Chan... this one has been popular for a while, I was pretty skeptical of it BUT this book is a very much win! I would highly recommend it and in fact I am right now! 

These are just a few ideas. Hopefully they can get the ball rolling for you! 

Different gifts are best for different people! 

These might not be good for that special someone in your life BUT please don't cop out and get a box of chocolates that only has one truly edible flavor. 

Happy Valentines day! 

Insanity and College Go Hand in Hand like a Happily Dating High School Couple

So This week I have the wonderful privilege of writing an essay, doing a group presentation, taking two midterms. Taking one final and doing a lab! I also get to start premarital training, go to work and try to maintain some minute sense of sanity. Should be fun!
I would take all the prayers I can get! I keep remembering that God says not to worry. In Matthew 6:34 it says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I have not been spending the time in the bible that I need to lately but I am so grateful for the reminder that God is faithful even when I am not. The knowledge that the list of things that I need to make happen this week are all accounted for in God's plans. My job is to trust in the Lord, spend time with Him and to WORK for Him and to the best of my ability! Sometimes that is really scary to just sit back and trust but I know that God is so worth it and He can handle all my concerns!

On a side note, Hans and I got on the Save the Date Video's for our wedding! AWESOME! It feels so nice to have that taken care of :)
