I had a yard sale today to raise money for Haiti. My family helped a lot; I was so glad they pitched in. I was a lot less prepared than I thought I was, and we really didn’t have a lot of people. We are doing it again tomorrow, and I am working until noon. Mom is home tonight from California, so she will be able to help in the morning. I am glad my parents are home! We made about $80… hoping to do better tomorrow.

Anthony went to a graduation celebration today, he’s been gone since noon and has to be out until late. I am missing him and praying for him, trying to give him to God and NOT worrying. He doesn’t belong to me as I like to think he does; he belongs to God. Oh boy is it hard! We talk everyday on the phone, and have only gone maybe 2 days in the past 6 months without it, and those times we’ve texted. I’m not used to having him gone, but I need to get used to it. After we are married and he is gone at work, I’ll be at home and the temptation will be to worry about him. I want to be able to let God take care of my husband, and when I feel the worry coming on I want to go to my knees.

Anthony proposed on February 23rd 2008. We are getting married September 12th; One year from the day we met.
