| Gosh, I thought the decision to get married would be the most complex decision I would have to make....completely wrong. I feel like my life is going to get turned upside down in the next 6 months and everything I have now...besides God and Jonathan...i won't have anymore. I use to think I was so adventurous...that i'm up for anything. But gosh...i've been faced with a decision that makes me feel not-so-brave. The good thing is that I know no matter where I go or what I do I will always have my God and my Jonathan!!! so, bring it on!!!! | | |
| God is so good. I'm so glad that he has a bigger picture then I do. I'm so glad that I put my strength and hope in him and not in me and not in Jonathan. Because today I am no longer Demeree Allen. I am Demeree Whitt. I am so proud to be Jonathan's wife. There is no limit to what we can accomplish together. We have been through some really rough times but that makes us stronger today. My wedding was beautiful...i know everyone says that but mine truly was! We haven't gotten the professional ones back yet but everyone else's look just perfect! side note; true friends are hard to come by. I've realized that in the past 4 months. 5 of my bridesmaids were so important to me in college and the year after. I never thought that anything would tear us apart or that we wouldn't always be just as close. God gives us "passing through" friends as i like to call them. They are vital to my life to the point where at that time i couldn't imagine life without them...and instead of staying that way due to distance, etc...God gives us new friends. Of course there's always those people that will be with you throughout life but I'm thankful for those friends that come and go. Sarah Pope is not one of those friends that pass by in my life. She is leaving and a part of me will leave with her. She's been my best friend here and I don't know what i'm going to do when she leaves. I pray God gives me another friend that i can lean on...that girl may be a friend here that i am just not thinking about. No one will ever replace Sarah. She is one special gift that God has blessed my life with. I just hope she lean's on God when times get tough...and that she always knows that I'm here...just a phone call away. I love you Sarah... | | |
| So, it seems like its been forever since i've written on Xanga. A whole lot has happened so it would be impossible for me to write everything. I have the most beautiful ring on my finger...courtesy of Jonathan Whitt! Its so crazy to think that almost exactly a year ago I was leaving Tennessee and leaving the man i loved. I left with hope, left with little anxiety, left with sadness but left with a feeling of security. Needless to say my world turned upside down that fall. But here I am...a year later excited and ready to be Mrs Whitt. Man, thats crazy. I pray that Jonathan and I have been wise about this. I pray that we did not rush into this. I've known for a long time that there's no one else I want to share my time with on earth then him. I'm here with those same feelings i had a year ago...I have so much hope and joy for the future. there's no telling what life is going to throw at us and i'm thrilled that he's going to be right by my side for all of it. Of course making the second biggest decision of my life will cause a little anxiety and sadness...just because i will no longer be an Allen but a Whitt (slash Allen) I will no longer be able to come to my house on 19 Sharon Dr. and call it home. I know that i will have a new home and one that will be far greater but there's no place like the home you grew up in. i will no longer go to that house alone. I'm ready but being the oldest girl and the only biological one I think it may be one of the hardest things for my parents and for my family. They are just always used to having me there and used to relying on me for a lot and used to going to my room when they need to talk. I love my family and i wouldn't change a thing...I'm glad along with Jonathan that family is forever. That last feeling is one of security. I love that about Jonathan. I know he'll go to bat for me, i know he'll always be there to protect me... I'm so stinkin excited for the wedding. I'm thankful every day i get up and know i've got his face i get to see that day. Random note...i've decided to let him pick out where we go for the Honeymoon. I really hope he doesn't wait till the last minute or we may be going to Latham after the reception!!!!! =) I love you!!!!!! | | |
| I always thought the first time I go to Mexico would be with Jonathan for our honeymoon or something like that...but no...its going to be with my family. My family is the greatest for more then one reason but for today i'll narrow it down to one. They never stop...some people look at this as a negative but i love it. We are always planning trips to awesome places and seeing new things and exploring parks or caves...pretty much anything that would let us have a new experience. And it helps that we are positive people who love to laugh at anything we can. That being said, we are now planning on going to Aruba or Cabo Mexico in August of 2008. We are going to narrow it down this upcoming week and start making specific plans. I can't express in words the excitement. I've also realized how much i would love to go to Hawaii or Italy or even Africa (this one on a mission trip...) just to see more. Some people are completely content with staying in the US and never visiting anywhere else but there's so much out there that i want to see. After going to Australia I got a taste of another culture and it fascinates me. Don't get me wrong i love the US and this is where i want to live but i would love to visit somewhere new every couple years or so. So, for now I'll start working on my si/no, me llamo es, donde esta tu banos, and other useful phrases that i can use (although i'm sure both cities are highly americanized...) It would still be great to speak some Spanish! Ven Conmigo a la Mexico!!!! | | |
| So, after reading my last couple of blogs i realized that it seems the only time i write on xanga is when I'm having a bad day or i just need to vent. so, it looks like my life is just horrible and that i am the most negative person when in reality that is not the case. So, for all who read this...know that I do love and cherish the life God has given me and although there are a lot of struggles in my life right now I smile far more then i cry or frown. Thanks to God, Jonathan, and my family of course. Just want to throw this out there.... Question...my friend argues that sleeping on an air mattress...even though it is outside in a tent...is not real camping. I think it is just a little more comfortable but still should be qualified as camping...any input? | | |
