An update of sorts

I have dragged my feet to post this...most honestly, probably a bit out of fear. I think I have been dealing with a bit of fear on the front of some of the things in my life. The Lord is graciously working on my heart, which is good, stretching and tough at times. In the end, I am thankful the Lord goes after my heart as he does.

The news... I am engaged! If you know me well, you already know this. But, here are some details! His name is Josh Kavanagh. He is spectacular. He loves me well, has and does pursue me well, is strong-willed, compassionate, caring, thoughtful, smart, and is also a teacher. Above all, he loves Jesus. He challenges me, and engages me in such a loving way. I am thankful the Lord has brought him into my life, and the Lord has blessed me by allowing me to do life with this amazing man.

We have known each other, and of each other for quite a while. My friend Tiffany from high school first introduced us, and we also went to college together. Josh was my SWAT leader at DBU, although I must admit he remembers this much better than I do. (Yes, I guess I am a bit of a jerk on that front.) As the years passed, we have kept in touch, but have never dated. This last year he asked me out, and I though, what the heck! So glad I said yes because his country charm and his sweet spirit took me in! He has loved and pursued me well from the beginning, and the day before my birthday (November 19th) he asked me to be his wife! We will now be getting married on June 22nd.

I wanted to share some pictures of my beloved and also hoping this will get me on a blogging role yet again. It has been a crazy year at school this year. They have taken away a conference from us every other day, and add that in with the extra-curricular that I do, plus any sort of life I would like to have, it leaves little time for blogging about my musings about life. Alas, I shall try harder, for no other reason that it is therapeutic to me plus I love the blogging community. :)

Enjoy the pics and thanks for reading my catch up!

Love you all,
Ash
