With one month to go...

There is less than one month until Danny and I FINALLY get married. I can't explain how excited I am! This excitement is slightly overshadowed during the day by school work, wedding details, moving and Luke. However it does an excellent job of making sure that I get very little sleep. Over all wedding planning has been going smoothly. I was spoiled by my fabulous bridesmaids with an unbelievable bachelorette and bridal party. Details are being pieced together...slowly. However, I have been virtually stress free --just because I don't have time to dwell. I think God knew what he was doing when I had to take 4 classes over the summer. Most importantly though is instead of being pulled apart by all of the crazy wedding nonsense Danny and I are closer than ever to God and to one another. Life is good.

Oh and Luke is wonderful. God definitely knew what he was doing in Luke his personality and sweetness.

Teacher Appreciation Day

Danny and Luke made me a card for Teacher Appreciation Day.

"Daddy and I are very glad and thankful that you are working hard to be a great teacher for many boys and girls who will be blessed to learn from you. We love you and appreciate you Mommy.

Thank you, with Love,

Your Boys."

Needless to say I cried.

How sweet, it made this whole semester and all the time I had to give up with them worth it.

I am so blessed.

Tooting my own horn...and thanking others.

I just finished my thesis paper (though I am sure I will edit it again because it isn't due for two and a half weeks). 16 pages. 6 pages of sources. I feel as if I am the supreme expert on American and German Eugenics relations in the interwar period. Besides that I am really proud of myself, it felt as if I would never get through. 16 pages is not that long of a paper, but working with mostly primary sources you are really digging deep (and a lot of the ones I needed were in German!). It has taken me the whole semester to complete. Now just one more paper and two finals and I'll be home free for a week until summer classes start. 3 months until I am married. 4 and a half until I start student teaching. 8 months until I have finished college with 3 different teaching certifications. What an accomplishment. None of this would be possible though with out the support of my friends, family, and above all God. I am so thankful.

Waiting and Trusting.

Praying and trust God.

Danny and I are applying to a yacht club position that good friends of ours are leaving. We are praying that God will open a door for us there, it would an excellent fit for us. It is hard waiting to hear from the club.

To quote The Sound of Music though "when God closes a door somewhere he opens a window".

Still hoping that the door stays open though!

PLEASE PRAY!

Two Years Old!

Two years ago God blessed me with a handsome baby boy, more commonly known as Honey Honey Tush Butt Love.

Luke Daniel DeLucia,

I am so thankful that God trusted Daddy and I to be your parents. You have changed our lives and made us better people. I can't wait to see all God has planned for your life.

I love you more each day,

Mommy

Four years?!?!

This past weekend I went to visit Messiah for the last time (most likely). It was a wonderful weekend, I am truly blessed to have made such great friends in one year at Messiah. A whole basement full of girls! This weekend consisted of a lot of laughter, great conversations, and a whole lot of love. Not only did I get to see some of my favorites this weekend but also came away renewed, as a Mom and as Rebecca, I got to reconnect with myself (mostly my silly side). I also got closer, it was hard to leave Messiah because it was such a special time but this weekend I didn't wish Ihad stayed as I had in the past but was able to appreciate the time I did have there. I am so thankful to have this closer as I get closer to being done school myself.

Here are pictures from the first week of Freshman year:

And here is one from my last weekend at Messiah:

Is happy to announce...

We are getting married!
