bye bye single blog, I guess I'm married now.
After wedding hectic-ness has finally settled down, I am attempting to start semi-normally blogging again. This caused me to realise that I still have TWO blogs, which is ridiculous. I will henceforth be stopping this blog completely and only blogging on the married Foxe blog.

Wedding Website
Just to let everyone here know, I have created a wedding website for Rusty and I seperately from this site. The address is foxespot.blogspot.com That is where I will be posting any wedding news and where you can go to get resources if you are making the trip to Flagstaff to celebrate with us! It will be a fun time.
My internship here in Colorado continues to go well. I am clicking well with the therapists in this clinic and enjoying my time here. The weather has been unseasonably warm, which is still not warm enough for me right now, but I can't complain! I am looking forward to Tucson in March, though! Friday marked the halfway point of this internship, so only four more weeks before my next move! I can't wait to stop moving! It will be a sweet sigh of relief when Rusty and I get to move into a new abode and have the realisation that we will be staying PUT for at least a year or two.
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Phx, Mexico, Flag, Denver, Boulder, Longmont!
So much happened in the past two weeks I must resort to bullet points and sentence fragments:
*Had a great Christmas with family in Phoenix. Best gift was a DVD of home videos from my childhood that my dad converted from 8mm tape. Second best: the first season of my new favorite TV show, CHUCK. Had good times with family playing games and eating too much.
*Went on cruise to Mexico Dec. 27-Jan 3. Rusty's family is awesome. They get along so well with each other and have a good close family vibe. They like to play games together, go on adventures together, and smuggle alcohol in mouthwash bottles onto the boat illegally.
*Cruise excursions were the best part:
-Cabo = ride ATV's on private beach. Didn't get pictures yet.
-Mazatlan = take salsa and margarita making class. Learn to dance salsa.
-birthday in Mazatlan = playing on beach and parasailing (a gift from Rusty!)
-Puerto Vallarta = ziplining and repelling in jungle. No pictures allowed, sorry. It was fun though.
*Moved to Colorado!
Drove 14 hours in one day with my sweet friend, Rachel, through NM and CO.
Visited downtown Boulder where I will work. This is Pearl Street, a famous shopping and hangout district in the area.
This is where we ate lunch. I drank an algae smoothie. When in Boulder...
We went to Denver the next day. This is the skyline. It's not the best picture, but I took it without looking while driving on the freeway, so what do you expect. It's a surprisingly beautiful city for being such a large place. I really enjoyed it.
We went to Colorado Christian University because Rachel might want to transfer there in the fall to study music. It seemed like a sweet place. I hope she goes there so we can be Colorado friends.
This is Longmont, CO where I will live for the next few months. It is ten minutes east of Boulder. It is 30 minutes north of Denver. It reminds me of Flag. I love it. Here are some pictures of the downtown area. I am currently sitting inside Ziggi's coffee shop and enjoying the cold, overcast day. 
Hope some of you will come visit me while I am here!
*Start my internship on Monday
-Let's not talk about that. I'm not ready.
*The family I am staying with is awesome. Pictures to come. It's a married couple in their 30's and their three INCREDIBLE kids: Izzie, Sam, and Chicory.
Basically, I'm trying to quickly recover from the chaoticness that has been the past few weeks, and to trust God in his leading me here to Longmont.
Today I was encouraged by Psalm 95:
"Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the wilderness, when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work..."
I have seen God's work in the past. He does not have a single failure in the books. So today, I will follow him and listen to him, and enter into his presence with thanksgiving. He is a great God.

Surprise!
Woah!!!! I'm exhausted!!
"Why?" You ask?
Because I have been telling and retelling the story and reliving the excitement of my ENGAGEMENT all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rusty proposed last night on a surprise date in Flagstaff! We had private fox trot dance lessons with our old dance teacher, he took me to my favorite little restaurant and had a wonderful dinner looking out at downtown Flagstaff, and finally he blindfolded me and led me to the park near downtown where we very first hung out as friends. When I removed the blindfold, I was in the middle of the park, surrounded by trees illuminated with Christmas lights, and Rusty was down on one knee holding out this BEAUTIFUL ring!
Of course, I said yes, and we began celebrating! And we still haven't stopped! This is the first chance I have gotten to post any pictures because we have been going from friend's house to friend's house celebrating, having our engagement announced at church this morning and receiving cheers from our 300 church family members, calling and texting friends and family, and reliving the moment over and over! It has been fun.
I'll try to post more later, but I wanted to get SOMETHING up here so yall can see the gorgeous ring that Rusty designed himself for me. The center diamond represents Jesus Christ as the center of us, with the two side diamonds representing Rusty and myself. There are two small diamonds underneath his and mine that represent our family and friends that have supported us and lifted us up in our life individually and together. The white gold setting that braids throughout these diamonds represents the intertwining of Christ into each of us individually, and that he supports us and we support each other, as the white gold connects the center diamond to the sides and the sides to each other. Amazing, ya? He blew me away with his thoughtfulness.
Ok, more pictures to come. Rusty asked my friend, Allison, a talented photographer, to be part of the night and take pictures of him proposing, so the moment is captured in some really sweet pictures we got to see today! She will get them to us this week, and I will post them as soon as I get them!
Hope to talk to you all soon, blessings on your weekend!

December Greetings
Greetings and Happy December!
There is certainly NOT any snow in Phoenix, so it doesn't always feel like Christmas around here. Thankfully, our neighbor right across the street has solved that problem for us. With his elaborate decorations, I can never forget that it is Christmastime! Even at 2 and 3 in the morning when it shines into my bedroom window! Gives new meaning to the prophetic Christmas Scripture "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it", eh? Seriously though, I actually appreciate this guy's spirit and the fun of Christmas that this house brings. Plus, it helps simulate sunlight when my alarm goes off at 5am and it's still pitch black outside.
This is my LAST week...I repeat...LAST WEEK for my Phoenix internship! It has been a bit of a rough ride, and just when I have finally settled in to some comfort and confidence in this place...it's time to move on! Such is my life right now. I'm starting to figure that out and to see that God wants me to cling to his consistancy and sufficiency when nothing else in my life is remaining consistant or sufficient.
This weekend, Rusty and I will travel to Flagstaff for some time with friends and relaxation after finishing our internships! We might even catch some snow I hear!

"In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him." Hebrews 5:7-9

2. The people I love deeply (these are just a few):
3. the adventure that is my life right now
