What have those two been up to?!

Being engaged is like nothing else in the world! I can't even try to explain all of the emotions that you go through, and how many life lessons you learn as you prepare for marriage. One of my favorite bible verses states,

" Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with eachother, loving one another, and working together with one heart and purpose. Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing."
Philippians 2:2-4

So, I've learned that I will always put God first and then Eddie before myself. This should be interesting. It's easy to think about what I want, but what God wants...and even more challenging what Eddie wants, that will be the challenge. This challenge I choose to embrace wholeheartedly! During Easter I'm reminded about how much God loves us, but not only that...how much he wants us to share that love.

Eddie and I were blessed with VIP tickets to the Foosball (soccer) game in Kaiserslautern. Our good friend, Luis, is on the team and asked if we would like to go! So, we finally got our F.C.K. (Foosball Club Kaiserslautern) scarfs out and enjoyed field side seats and a buffet dinner!
We happened to have a weekend off together and remembered that we have never seen Versailles, France! We did not hesitate to buy train tickets and were soon surrounded by the night life of Paris, France! We hiked up to a church on the top of this hill and watched the sunset over the Eiffel Tower. Then we went to get some warm drinks. We had to take a picture for Jared as he would be pretty jealous of this cup of cream!
We then went hiking around the city and saw the other Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel tower lit up. It looks like this statue was dedicated about three years after the one in New York. It looks exactly like the one in New York, just smaller!

The next day we finally made it to Versailles, and the chateau where Marie Antionette and Napoleon lived. This is also where many war treaties were signed including WWII.

It was a wonderful trip, I cherish this time with Eddie and look forward to many more fun-filled days! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and we look forward to seeing some of you in July! Lots of Love!
