Gift of Giving

Aaron got me two things for my upcoming birthday! One is a violin...and the other was web cams so we can see each other...I have not seen the violin yet(I'm sure it's amazing) but the web cams are awesome. Now I can talk to him and see him. It's so nice to see his face...it's only been 4 weeks and a few days since I was there...but it feels like months.This is just one way my Aaron is perfect and so sweet to me.What a great idea for long distance engagements!
-Thanks Baby

" The perfect dress"

I have always heard that a bride to be will try on a ton of gowns ...but when the "perfect" one is put on she will know! Well...It's true. I did my dress shopping with my sister last weekend, she is also my matron of honor...so I had the privilege of making her try on a bunch of ugly dress' also! :)
I think I put on about 12 gowns. And the one I chose was third on the list I think. I put it on...and my jaw dropped! Yay...I love this one! It is strapless but I'm getting sheer 3/4 sleeves put on. It's ivory with a simple lace on one side peering around the front under the bust, there is lace also on one hip that wraps around toward the back...the lace is so delicate I liked it...and there are a few beads also. The lace looks like it is stitched with a champaign color. And that makes it look antique. Around the bust the material is gathered vertically. And then around the waist it wraps two directions down to the skirt. And there is a bunched type gather for the back/hindquarters down to the tiny train. There are mock round buttons down the back.

-I'm choosing a medium Vail in Ivory (I'm not doing an un-vailing) so it is just behind in my hair.

My Shoes are amazing! They are a pointed toe with a diamond flower decor on top and they are in Champaign color and the heel is maybe an inch & a half....strap back.

My colors are Ivory, Pewter, champaign and light peach.

Chocolate makes the heart grow fonder!?

I know ...your thinking ...what? Well, I was remembering the very first time my precious Aaron came all the way(a long trip for him) to Tn. for a visit to see me. It was a BIG DEAL! Like the biggest to us. It was our first meeting after four yrs. I can't even describe the emotions(so I won't). But it was funny, Aaron had a "surprise" for me. (he's such a sweetheart). So He arrived. And I ran down the stars down our deck off the back of the house...how I managed to do so without royally hurting my self I still don't know...oh..wait...ok "love gives you wings" :) anyway...I ran around the back to the side of the house where we park our vehicles and where Aaron parked...and I saw him going up the stairs to the front of the house...I yelled(gracefully ...kkehm...of course) AARON! And he turned and made it down three stairs not hurting him self also...and we meet in each others arms! For a split second it felt like...lol. Then we looked in each others eyes and smiled ...sigh...finally face to face. And I remember Aaron was so excited. Excitement mixed with not knowing what to do because he had never been to my house before. So he started unloading the car of his bags and gifts. He is so dearly funny. He gives his gifts away so fast! And now you probably guessed...yep chocolate. It was Govida chocolate. I thought that was it ya know, one gift...chocolate he's wonderful...then he pulled out my converse "Chuck Taylor's" I was almost in tears. Give a girl chocolate and shoes...all in one day...almost to much to handle. Well my heart was fond of him, and after we sat down in the living room with my mom and started sharing chocolates and laughs it was much more of a memory. It's not just the chocolate, its the way it was given.

-Chocolate and shoes before I do's!- LOL.

Comedy of errors

So each day is. In it's own way. Aaron's bmw is in the auto mechanic shop..and so he has been praying his way, to and from work...a strange way of events took his car there and we now chose to move past that. So we where given a word of advice today to sell the car and find another! As hard as this is for Aaron I'm sure...(because he is attached to his Beemer) he called me and said "well babe, don't get down!" What a blessed spirit he carries. He truly has learned to rely on God. It's a comfort to know your companion has this fruit already tackled and learned going into marriage. It tells me that no matter what I can count on Aaron to already trust God and have faith... I don't have to worry about when we get married if something goes a'rye that he will doubt God, thus causing heartache and stress to our lives!
- Young men! Learn to trust your saviour before you meet your mate...it will give her and you a comfort in life that only Christ can allow. A girl wants to feel secure...and this is another way that I TOTALLY do with Aaron.
And don't forget to laugh...The errors of life can be a comedy.
-Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Burks for teaching your son to love, honor and rely on Christ. :)

Departure

When your heart is breaking and your soul is weak, your mind is clouded with doubt and defeat, there is a inner power that brings you relief, it also brought you there and keeps you..... It's love.

So because of this great emotion leaving the one you love is hard! Aaron and I where talking on our last trip to drop him off at work on Friday before I left. We started to think about how people deal with departures from their loved ones...it became a deep thought. Some people don't show their emotions. We think they feel love just as strong as anyone but just don't express it the same. Others shed tears and heart felt words... ( Aaron and I:) Departing for us is a wounding pain but somehow we always find a positive outlook to carry us through the departure. The Lord is a comfort to our hearts and we focus on all his blessings in our lives. To shed a tear for a loved one is not a disturbing thing...it's good for the soul and if a partner sheds a tear of emotion and love it indeed shows the other how much love they are being shown! Aaron is a wonderful sentiment of love and emotion he always shows me just how much he loves me...and he always comforts my heart it trying times. We must have a inner sensor that knows when the other person is weak it makes us strong and visa versa. We have seen this so often! It's a relationship blessing . Another way God put his hand on our lives.
So in our thought we decided that everyone deals differently but more importantly we learned our way. And God has a lesson in distance.

One Of Our Songs!

Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you.Its not that I want you, Not to say, but if you only knew.How easy it would be to show me how you feel.More than words is all you have to do to make it real.Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me'Cos I'd already know,What would you do if my heart was torn in two? More than words to show you feel,That your love for me is real...What would you say if I took those words away?Then you couldnt make things new,Just by saying I love you! More than words,Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand...All you have to do is close your eyes,And just reach out your hands and touch me. Hold me close dont ever let me go! More than words is all I ever needed you to show,Then you wouldnt have to say that you love me ' Cos I'd already know.What would you do if my heart was torn in two? More than words to show you feel,That your love for me is real! What would you say if I took those words away? Then you couldnt make things new...Just by saying I love you, More than words!!!!!!!

To Aaron

I love you friend I can't explain

I'd give the world to say your name.

A friendship true is hard to grasp.

So please my friend don't ever ask

What word i'd use to define

A friendship, just like yours and mine.

With all my love ~ your Fiancee Jenna
