God is My Provider!

I spent this past weekend up in Virginia. Being up there made me realize, once again, that God is my provider. Most of you know that I spent the last 2 years living in Charlottesville, VA. It's a scary thing moving your life to a completely new place where the only person you know is your husband. I can remember praying to God before David moved up there for law school that God would provide him with good Christian friends. God definitely answered that prayer when He put David in to Section F (you are placed in a section of 30 people your first year of law school and take classes with that section). Within that section David met some of the most amazing people who have become some of the greatest friends to us. I knew then, that God definitely had His had on that situation. It made me feel so much better about David being up in Virginia by himself his first year of law school.

Then, when David and I decided to get married and I knew I would have to leave all of my friends down here in Tennessee; I started praying that same prayer again for myself..."Lord, please let me find some good Christian girl friends." Once again, He answered my prayer. God provided me with amazing friends who were/are an incredible support. I just didn't think I would be able to make such good friends in my short time in Virginia, but God is my provider and He continues to show me that no matter where I go, He is there!

Some of the CVille people who mean so much to us!

Locks of Love

It has been a long year and a half and my hair was sooooooo long, but not anymore. On Friday, October 9th I headed up to Charlottesville, VA to have 12 inches cut off. My hair has been donated to Locks of Love so hopefully someone else can benefit from my hair. It is different having short hair and this is the shortest I have ever had it, but I am getting used to it and I love it!

Some of you may be asking, "Why did she drive 7 hours to get her hair cut?" Well, Jonathan has been cutting my hair for the past five years...he used to live in Cleveland, TN before he made the move back up to Charlottesville. The same year he move up to Virginia is the same year David started law school...so we lucked out and were able to have him continue cutting our hair. Since he has been with me during the whole growing my hair out process...I wanted him to have the joy of chopping it all off. So I timed my hair cut with a weekend that I was going up to Virginia for another event (Queck's Bachelorette).
