Ceremony Music

I don't know if we could use this song.. but I love the words & i know you other brides out there will also love the words of this song... because I can only image what it is going to feel like on my wedding day walking down the aisle in front of Rick's & my entire family holding hands, in front of everyone, on a beatiful, warm - not too hot August summer day, sun shinning down, everything that us brides worked for over the months, all the of details, flowers, everything stands still & the only thing that matters at the one moment is you & your groom. I cannot wait for that moment in my life.
So here is the song: THERE IS LOVE - BRADLEY JOSEPH
GOD'S GRACE IS SO AMAZING.

OUR 1st DANCE
I'm proud to say that about a month ago Rick came to me in my (soon-to-be our) living room & took my hand & said he wanted to dance with me to our wedding day 1st dance song... it was the sweetest thing.
He played the song from my computer & as we danced I cried. I was sooo happy - he picked the most perfect song & he is speaking directly to me.

(for some reason I cannot post the song.. so click on the title)
I'm still HERE!
I promise...
I promise I have NOT fallen off the face of the earth BUT my word weddings draw the life out of you.
My goal for the evening is to find at least 4 wedding songs to add the the two Rick & I have already chosen.
1. Heavenly Day - my wedding day wouldn't be the same without this song... the first time I heard this song I KNEW I had to have it played on my wedding day.
2. Amazing Grace - This song is a must because it reminds me and Rick both of his father & his grandfather & everytime I hear the words I think of how we need to be more grateful for the people we have in our lives and what an appropriate time to recall the importance of life.

(the four blank above are my goals for the evening... think I may have just found one to fill the spot - thanks to "YOU TUBE". :) :) :) :)
Life is grand!
God is soooo GOOD!

I MOVED!
Yes blog readers I did it! June 6 - the morning after Rick's twin brothers wedding I woke up bright & early with a slight hang over... packed up a moving truck (FULL) & moved!!!
I finally moved into my very own place for the first time EVER! And it is the most exciting thing in the entire world. Unfortunately I have yet to take pictures of my new place sort of set up.. but it's not done yet. & I haven't even put thought into what and where things are going to go on the wall. But like I said I am so happy to be in my very own brand new place!
I will try and post pics next time!
xoxo, erica
p.s. wedding situation update: no update yet!

New Beginnings
On June 1, I began my new job at the orthodontist office & today I worked my second day of work. I must say I did love my last job - but this new job is going to come pretty close to tying my last for best two jobs. And in two days I worked a total of 17.5hours! WOW! I suppose that is only 1.5 hours more than the average 8 hour working day but heck I'm beat. These last two days I spent a lot of time on my feet & that is a HUGE change from my last job as a secretary. & another plus... I don't have to fight with myself in the morning trying to figure out what to wear. The scrubs and the colors are already chosen for me. :)
Overall my first two days were good. Pretty average. I learned what the front desk people do on a day to day basis, the lab, & everyone else does daily. I learned new terminology - sanitary procedures, etc. Like I said pretty average.
I must add... it isn't so bad working with your someday future spouse; yes, if I didn't tell you before Rick works at the orthodontist office and is actually training me. He'll be basically training me until his last day in September - & then he'll begin his last semester of schooling before he becomes a secondary teacher! (Hopefully I will be prepared in the clinic before September to work on my own. I know I can do it!) So anyways Rick and I work together - while it is a little strange, it's all about work. It's strange when we don't even touch hands or have any physical contact what so ever. And in the morning meetings we don't even sit by each other. That's alright though... there is like 15 of us that squeezes into one small room for 15min to talk about the day.
Aside from the new job, Rick and I are (I don't want to say slowly) but we're working things out rather quickly - I'm excited to have taken the job out by his house & to be working with him (well at least until September) & lets not forget my upcoming move date... SO EXCITED. This is going to be a huge deal because #1 I've never lived completely alone before & #2 I can clean & decorate the entire place how I want it! #3 I will be less than 15minutes from Rick's!!! Did I mention that I am EXCITED? :) ;)
These next couple of days are going to be VERY busy. I am going to try and write a little something-something however tomorrow night (Wed) I am going with my friend Josh & some of his friends to the Tigers v. White Sox game! & Thurs is rehearsal & dinner for Scott & LeighAnn's wedding (Scott- Rick's twin brother & also the wedding I am a bridesmaid in) & Fri is their wedding & I will be yet another bridesmaid. (3rd time) I'll try posting pics of the wedding next week but I'm not making any promises - just in case I don't get to it. Ahhh 3 days until their wedding and my goodness I have nothing prepared. No nails done, I'm not hardly tan, and my eyebrows -yikes. Don't stress Erica... it will all get done.
Until next time.

Last day of May '09
Don't want to loose/mess these goods things that are beginning to happen in my life but I MUST share... today Rick & I went car hunting for him & found IT! It is not the newest of cars but it is in GREAT condition. (Thank you Craigslist- you have made my life twice this weekend) My Ricky bought a '99 Ford Escort today with only 67,000 miles for less than the asking price of $3,500! Whoo hooo to no more sharing a car. And my favorite part of all is that his *new car is a long lost twin to my little red that got totaled in my driveway last fall. (so we're pretty happy)
&&& then ALSO today I found a place. It's super nice. And yeah - it's not the apartment that I found before with all of the fun stuff but this apartment is located less than a mile from my job & close to ALOT of other great things! (like Rick's house) So, now that my bedroom has been packed and ready to move for over a month I hopefully will be moving next weekend!
Oh, and yes I am starting the job at the orthodontist office on Monday. And I am not nervous but instead very, very happy & excited to begin a new chapter in my life, living on my own. (for now). ;)

Dear Friends & Family:
[I am writing this on May 25, & posting it on May 27]
May 26, 2009
Dear Friends & Family:
Due to financial situations, the wedding of Erica Sanders to Richard Meyer will not take place on August 22, 2009 as originally planned. We have made the mutual decision to not get married right now; we would like to extend our engagement before entering into the sacred union of marriage as one.
Genuinely,
Rick & Erica
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A copy of this letter went out to our entire wedding guest list on the morning of May 26. I am having a really, really hard time with all of this because it isn't completely financial reasons at all - it is that Rick has decided he is not ready to get married right now & that he would like to postpone things until he feels that our relationship is where it needs to be. Like I said, I am having the hardest time knowing how to cope or get grips of this whole ordeal - but I know that God works in mysterious ways & I know that there is a reason for everything.
My grandpa told me today [May 25] when I drove out to his property to get a little country fresh air that, "it is better to learn these things now, then after 30 years of marriage like he did" (he & my grandma divorced in 97). I replied to him by saying, "thanks grandpa but those aren't the most comforting words." Aside from that I never thought my grandpa would say anything to me at all about the whole situation... I suppose I never just show up at his house like I did today - but I didn't know where to go - yet knew I needed to go somewhere. And there is 30+ acres of land out there and it is so peaceful... and that is what I need is peace. When I first got there my grandpa asked where Rick was & why he wasn't with me & I told him Rick was at my house & that I was running away to get away from him & that he makes me crazy. My grandpa laughed, smiled & told me he understood and offered me a coke. I'm not saying my grandpa isn't a caring man - but seeing him today, and talking to him made me look at him differently. I love my grandpa.
Like I said above - I'm feeling stuck. Like I want to leap out and scream (oh, God - oh, God Lordy we know I've done that) And above all of this I am angry. I'm not sure who I am more angry with though. Myself. Or Rick. I just know that I am very upset, emotional, angry - I don't want to talk & sometimes I just want to say everything that is on my mind. Both of which I know isn't a good idea. I know that I need to turn towards God in this situation but to tell you the honest truth I'm a little mad at God, I'm disappointed. I suppose that is why we should not live with expectations... because if you go into a situation with an expectation you're bound to be disappointed.
I feel like some of the characters in the books I've read... beginning a new day, a new chapter in my life. If only I were the author. I know that the author of my life, has a plan for my life - even if it isn't exactly what I had in mind. But I suppose that is the best part... we are only in control to make decisions from the situations that He puts in our life - He knows what we're going to choose before we even make a decision for ourselves. He is not a co-pilot - He is fully in-charge and I need to step back and let Him take charge.
