Married in like 5 weeks...

I am getting married in like 5 weeks... what what?!

Not everything is done - so that is a little stressful BUT I know it's going to be a beautiful thing when Mark and I become Man and Wife. I am not doing everything by the rules so I hope I am not offending anyone... I just want it to be a great celebration with lots of friends. :) Anyways... I just wanted to write that quick note. 

Tuesday at Half Moon

"You know what I don't get...

midgets."

- Jake

he's just not that into you

I must comment quickly on the wisdom of my friend Wes Andrews "guys are simple, if they like you they call you. If they don't like you, they won't call you... simple." The funny thing is is that they wrote a book and that book was made into a movie because us gals have trouble with that simple piece of advice.... it's true! 

Student Baptism

It is so refreshing and wonderful to see the joy in a students face right after their baptism! Tonight I got to watch several of my new friends get their hands wet and make a public statement of their faith. Made me tear up... go figure... nothing brings me greater joy then to be present while someone's story with Jesus is starting... I pray for these girls and guys... may they adventure with Jesus and share HIM to all... may they reflect the glory of the Lord and be a vessel for truth and love. 

Friday

Friday...

I woke up to see someone getting arrested in front of my house.

A dog pooped on the floor of HMO... 

And then I slammed or actually slowly closed my finger in a drawer.

Yup... that was friday.

Birds at Half-Moon

Today a woman came in with Birds on her :) 

2 birds on her shoulder... 

really interesting...

Grr...

HELP!

I hate wedding planning...

Help me not hate it!

Why are there so many rules and expectations?

Why do they create all there rules and make you feel bad for breaking them in the whole wedding scene?

HELP!

Wedding Planning...

Well I kinda need to start doing more of it... you know what's hard, planning a Florence wedding from Charleston with your parents being in Maryland... yup, this is going to be interesting.

Sorry it's been about a month...

Sorry that it's been about a month since I wrote a little blog... I always think that I am going to do better then I actually do... anyways...

Yesterday I put a deposit on my wedding dress... how exciting... and yes I don't think I have yet to put it on here... I AM GETTING MARRIED! On April 4th Mark Temple is going to be my husband and I will be trading in my last name to have a little bit shorter of a name... How does Cyprian Renee Temple sound? I like it too.

LeaderTreks Lives ON!

SOOO... the church that I think I am going to start volunteering with just so happens to use LeaderTreks... :) 

Might I remind all that I really do love this organization and am very happy that I can be connected in some way.

Saturday...

Just a little walk...

Pics :)

Got to Love the Chacos... and my short legs compared to Mark's!

And I would like to introduce you to Sam... she works with me at Half Moon.

Hanging out at the House

I am hanging out at the house in the AM before I go to work today... just watching some Fox and Friends.

:)

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I miss my Florence friends.

Love Y'all!

Weekend Fun

So this weekend while working at the store I decided to break out the camera...  What happened next was the most fun I have had at work in a while. The color swap and color accent function on my camera provided entertainment for a good hour. I LOVE CAMERAS!

Sharpie Pen

I will never write with anything else ever again... 

Dear Sharpie Pen,

You are amazing. Your flow of ink is close to perfection. I have always liked Sharpie, but now, I think I might be in Love. Sharpie Pen, I hope you come in lots of colors soon. 

Love,

Cyprian

fall tv

i am really excited about Heros, Chuck, House, and Fringe... I think I might get back into TV watching... it turns out that I can relax and watch TV at the same time... 

But how I long for Lost...

dangerous

so I now work at Half Moon Outfitters in Mount Pleasant, SC... and it's dangerous because I get discounts on amazing products... I just want to buy everything... and I have no money... but for real there is some AMAZING stuff... I just want it all! I don't know what to do with myself other then want to try on everything in the store...

Leeland...

...Rocks!

Their song "Standing Still" was the only one that I haven't ever heard before and it really spoke to me. There is a need for me to sit still so I can love... 

Some Bangin' Cookies!

Today Mark and I continued on in our Hersey's cookbook and made some amazing Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies... SO good!

Yummy!!

Nutella

Today I am sitting here on my computer once again being a job seeker...

I just had a Bacon Lettuce sandwich for Lunch and I am waiting for my bagel to toast so I can have a Nutella bagel... SO GOOD!

Pop... there goes the toaster...
