It has been a while

So...it has been quite a while since I have written anything on my blog. You will have to forgive me. In fact I am sure you will forgive me when I tell you that the reason I have not written is because I am courting!!! Yes, that's right! I am courting Ben Mahnkey, the most wonderful man in the world! On Christmas day, I went to mass with my grandma and when I got back home their was a huge box in my living room. Ben was inside. I was so shocked and surprised to see him. But I knew exactly why he was there. Did I say I was shocked? Well I was. I do not think I said anything intelligent or intelligible for about 30 minutes.

As of yesterday, we have been courting exactly a month. God is doing so many good things and He is bringing our hearts closer and closer together. I thought I liked him before we are courting but now I am completely head over heels crazy about him. I cannot believe I have such an incredible man in my life. I am so blessed.

I know that God is bringing me into a new season in so many ways. The most obvious way is Ben. But my writing is also taking off in new directions. In S.P.A we are going to begin writing our novels. I am definitely going to keep going with the story about Thien. Tracy Higley, a published author, was with us last week. She gave us some incredible tools for how to actually formulate a complete novel. WOW! It was great. I do not think I will be posting much of the actual story here though-- maybe just a little teaser now and again. I want to leave the bulk of the story as a surprise.
