1) The Cowboy
Since December, I've been talking to this awesome guy living in Florida. It's crazy how much we have in common, how easy it is to talk to him (phone calls until 3 am?)... In March, we finally met for the first time...and while there weren't sparks flying right away, I've never felt so comfortable around someone in my life. (Those sparks definitely flew when he kissed me though!) My family loves him, my pastor absolutely loves him...and I am very much in love with him. It may seem fast to some people, but yes, we're talking marriage, and currently working on getting a job here. No, he hasn't officially popped the question, but a September or October wedding seems to be a very good possibility if the Lord continues to provide like he has been!
Now, by what name shall I refer to him on this blog? For now, it's "The Cowboy"....you won't see him without his plaid shirts, blue jeans, cowboy boots and pickup truck. Speaking of the truck....
2) New Truck
While it's possible to fit a baby carseat into a single cab pickup truck with a bench seat, it's not exactly the best situation. The Cowboy's serious enough about me, he sold his '89 pickup for a newer one with a double cab that can easily fit Meg in the back seat! But, what was absolutely crazy was how the Lord orchestrated everything - he bought the new truck for exactly what he'd sold his truck for! And then, the new truck needed new tires, and he's got a coworker who's going to give him the exact tires he needs in almost brand-new condition for free! That's crazy right there. Both of us have been taken aback by how both the truck, and then the tires, were provided.
3) Clothing
It's such a small thing...but I had no clothes that fit me well! My wardrobe was embarrassingly small to say the least. Clothes were old and stretched out, or too large now that I've lost baby weight... I was looking at getting a few items for our upcoming vacations, but just going to Goodwill and other thrift stores can be so tiring. I was given some hand-me-downs for Meg, and while sorting through them, I found several items that fit me perfectly! Two nice shirts, two capris, two pairs of shorts, and two nice skirts! And then I found two brand-new pair of jeans in a box of my old clothes that I didn't even know I had. As if that wasn't enough, I found a couple of gift cards to Target and got myself a super-comfy maxi skirt! I don't need anything else for the summer now, and I'm very thankful for that.
How have you seen the Lord working in your life? Please share!

Meg loves him too!
