I love my life

Starting this off, i just want to say that i love my life. Im so blessed. God has really put me in the place that i need to be. That was my prayer for so long and BAM he did it. Im happier than a slop hog in mud! nice metaphor huh? i thought so. Well, I made the biggest decision of my life last week. I asked Alicia to marry me!! Im super excited about it. I knew that this is what i wanted and needed, so i prayed hard and saved hard and bought it! Her birthday was this past weekend and i told her it was an early birthday dinner. Well, she didn't know the big surprise was hidden on the cake. I wrote her a happy birthday song that i played to the guitar and sang it.... turns out, i was nervous as heck and forgot all the words, so it ended up being a funny song. haha you know me! back to the cake,,, It said "will you marry me" on it. So happy birthday Alicia! It went well, and im so happy that it did. I have Dela to thank, as well as my family and friends. This was a special night and im so happy that it turned out as well as it did. Thank you God for all everything. Talking to the parents was the hardest thing that i ever had to do... wow.. haha. talk about nervous. yeah that was me. So, now its off to looking at houses, planning, budgeting and getting everything ready. I didnt know that it took so much planning. But, hey im siked about it! I heard from a wise person once, that once you found that person that makes you truly happy and supports you in everything and knows you better than anyone to put a ring on it. Thats a keeper! So i did! I have been planning this for a while. had to keep it hush hush though. this was the best thing that i have ever done! i love her!
The truck is sold and i bought a lexus IS300 and i love it. It was a cheaper car than the tank truck that i had. better on gas and a lot more easier to drive. I know its a luxury car blah blah but what a deal i got. More updates to come because we have a lot of planning to do. Im just so happy that in this part of my life, that i have that one person that is my other half. later days

things change

This world is all about change. Everywhere you turn, change change change. For so long i was terrified of change. But hey, change isn't such a bad thing. My life as i know it, is unfolding a page that is full of excitement and joy. I sold the truck, yay. this means that im on a hunt for a car that is good on gas AND cheaper. I think that i have found a few but i want to make the right choice. the gf, school work and home is a lot of driving. so i believe thats the smart thing to do, sell the truck. Now, moving on to the camper, wow what a weekend with that thing. I had it sold, then the people drove it off of the lot and got 5 miles down the road and it started to fall apart. It had a small leak that turned into a huge leak that nobody saw. It was inbetween the walls and bam it fell apart. I had to give a full refund and then by the grace of God i suddenly realized that he was in control and would make it all better. As he did! right after that my truck sold, what a relief! So i answered many emails.... well Alicia answered emails and told many people about the damage.. well nobody wanted it at all. Until a guy contacted me and wanted to look at it, so today he saw it and said he would put several thousands into it and bought it. I got basically nothing for it. it was a huge hit that i had to take. but hey, gotta trust God.
God is gracious, and when i say that, i mean it. Things happen. People that you are close to will shock you and make you sad and wonder why? But i have realized that If someone says things or do certain things, it may be because they have something more going on with them. I have many questions that run through my head and the main question would be why. Times like these when i think that the world is over as i know it, i turn to God and pray. and oh the power of prayer. God has taught me so much here in the past couple of weeks. That he is BIGGER than me and he will ALWAYS take care of me. Not to mention that Alicia is such a blessing. I know that i couldnt go through these times in my life without her. Especially when the lady was calling me about the camper threatening to sue me and take all my money, WOW she calmed me down and helped me more than i could ever ask for. I guess my ramble must come to a conclusion. My conclusion would be, IF you ever go through tough times and question the whole world, just pray. seriously God is so much bigger than we are and i have learned that first hand over the past could of weeks. People will let you down, But he is gracious and will always walk beside you. Stay close to him and will be your solid rock! Meanwhile, surround yourself with loving people who support you and know you for you and understand everything. wow did i just type all of that? haha later days
