Homeward Bound...

Welp,
Guess I'll give an update.

I'm in Nashville for AN ENTIRE WEEK!

I know, it's crazy. I arrived late Friday night and go back to Texas Saturday. It has been and will continue to be wedding planning-palooza. We're getting to the point where we do little, stupid, (yet somewhat important) details, like flower girl baskets and songs to play at the ceremony and reception.

I held back screams at Michaels (normally my happy place) tonight. It's amazing how in one context (bead-buying), Michaels is one of my favorite places. On the wedding aisle, not so much. How DO you fit so much tacky in one place?

Anyway, I'll post some pictures from the past few weeks:

Danny and I take registering for gifts VERY seriously. Guess what store!

We had a great time at an all day Texas Country concert.
I forgot my good camera that day; otherwise there would have been a FANTASTIC people-watching blog. AMAZING.


Humble? Nope. Can't blame 'em though. I guess since I have been very blessed in Texas I can't argue.


Name that food:

Yes, although it appears to be a delightfully-browned turkey, it is not. This, my friends, is a cake.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

They won't be writing any tributes about me.

A while back Danny gave me a book titled "Married to a Pastor." It includes tributes to "good" pastor's wives and tips on how to be one. It has been a good resource for me as I'm about to enter Pastor-wife-dom and has inspired me to be a Spiritually Beautiful Woman of Faith.
Having that said, I haven't read much of it. Clearly.

Tonight we had a Bible study with the youth which Danny does every Sunday night. Some nights I am invited to come, especially when another adult can't be there. I enjoy the kids and think of it as another opportunity for spiritual growth for me and time I can spend with Danny.

After tonight, I may not get invited back.

As an "icebreaker" and intro to the study we played "Catch phrase." In this game of speed and on-your-feet thinking we all determined what Sarah, the future wife of Pastor Danny does when she gets stressed. She likes to cuss.

The game piece is handed to me. I pick a word that I realize they don't know as I'm trying to describe it. I decide an appropriate segway word would be....Damnit.

Good one. Very nice.

Code Fat! Code Fat!!!

Today is the start of my new job and I seem to be having a bit of a "business casual" crisis.
SURELY my clothes have shrunk since I last had a job.

Excitement

Today is an exciting day. Today is the day that Sarah and Danny register at....drum roll please...
TARGET!!!!!!

So far, we have become accustomed to the registering practices of Macy's, Dillards, and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Those were fun but NOTHING compared to the delight that TARGET will bring.

So, if anyone asks, today, I am at Target, and I'll have a gun. Yippee!!!!

Goodness

Lately I've been feeling the urge to blog but haven't - for a few reasons. One, I feel guilty blogging with all the other things I need to be doing. Two, I honestly haven't had much to blog about or the inspiration to do so.
That changed this week when I saw the following videos:

First I will share a clip from The Soup. I mean, I Love God but thankfully, not like this:



Also, this video was shared with me by some of our students at church. It's apparently ALL THE RAGE in the high schools and middle schools here.
Meet Charlie the Unicorn:



And for his second adventure:



Kids, this is why you don't do drugs.

This has been a public service announcement by Sarahkate.

Happy Hump Day!

It's official!!! Status Change

If this were Facebook, the newsfeed would tell you that "Danny Anderson and Sarah Lindsey are engaged." Woo-Hoo!!

It would also show this picture:

Yes Folks, it's true. Danny Anderson and Sarah Lindsey are engaged...and happy to be so.

I know I'm late posting this but it happened a couple weeks ago at my apartment. It involved a portable digital photo frame, a box of ring-pops, one knee and a question...to which I happily responded "Yes!!"

Here are some more photos:

January 31st, here we come!!!

Get a Job!

Throughout this time that I've been staying at home, "nesting," and basically getting my shizz organized, I've determined something about myself.

I'm going to make a kick-ass Housewife or Stay at Home Mom.

The problem is, as I've been informed by my lovely boyfriend, that I am neither a wife, nor a mom. Therefore, I've decided that I'm going to call myself a kick-ass "House-maiden."

The problem there is that "House-maidens" although fabulous in that they stay at home in their pretty nighties and drink coffee and blog all day, don't make money doing so. And, well, this pretty 2-bedroom, 2 bath apartment/Castle I'm renting somehow costs money to sit around and be fabulous in.

House-maiden needs a job...and a purpose in life.

So, I'm going for my first "Group Interview" today. Prayers Please!!
