Wow!  I can't believe how long it's been since my last blog.  I think it was around Christmas time.  Facebook has kind of taken the place of xanga lately, but I thought I'd visit here from time to time as well.  Since my last post, I have some exciting news.  The Lord has blessed me with the most amazing boyfriend...ever!  He is so wonderful and treats me so well.  I love it that he is not only my boyfriend, but my best friend.  His name is Nathanael Vincent but everyone calls him Nate.  We met about 8 years ago when his family first came to our church.  Since then, Nate and I have been good friends.  About 3 years ago, I started seeing Nate as someone I could like for more than a friend.  Obviously nothing ever became of that until April.  God is so good and I'm so thankful to have Nate in my life.

God also gave me a nephew in June!  My sister, Leah, had a beautiful baby boy on June 16.  His name is Hunter Allan Castle.  He weighed 7 lbs. and was 20 inches long.  I am in love with him!!  He is the sweetest baby ever! 

Well, that's all for now.  I'll try to post more frequently.

Here are some pics of Nate & I.

This is at my friend, Athena's, wedding.

Here is Hunter...
