After touring nearly 43449574 homes, we finally found "the one"! I've been promising my friends and family some picture updates so here they are. Please pardon the mess =)<br />

The first day in our new place! I've never realized how tricky it is with only two of us to get pictures together. Hopefully we'll have some sweet little neighbor lady take one for us to post later.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been awhile since I've had the time to do any serious crafting. Let me tell you, it's craft-therapy for me. I found this lovely piece last fall and never found the time to refinish it. Of course in the busiest time of my life with wedding planning, ZTA Presidency, house-hunting, going to school, and breathing, I decided to paint it a beautiful Tiffany blue. The photo doesn't do the color justice.</span></div>

It's been wonderful, amazing, perfect, and everything I could ask for. It has been so much fun for me to work closely with my mom, my sister, my grandma, oh and Chris, to plan every last detail. I have loved seeing my personal style come out little by little. I have learned that my style is a little more "out-there" than the rest of the women in my family but they've reeled me back in for sure. In my pre-ring dreaming, I wanted this super edgy, modern wedding. In my early-ring planning, I wanted a romantic, elegant affair. Now that I'm in the last stage of the planning, I've found that I'm actually a little more unique and vintage than I thought. Since we're moving along with the unique, vintage feel I recently found myself in this interesting place called "Boyle's Joyland." Let me tell you people, it's anything but joyful in there. It is an old carnival supply store (which still has the creepy clowns lurking every corner) that has now turned into a heap of old junk. In case the clowns don't deter you enough, they have an old cat caged up by the register that is apparently let out at night to catch the mice. Yikes! It was evident how much Chris loved me when he ventured into a place like that. Needless to say, Boyle's Joyland prevailed. For a small price, we left "Not-So-Joyland" with a beautiful, brand new chandelier for our wedding. The box reeked of Joyland but the chandelier was still in its original packing. At this point, I was pretty impressed with our bargain hunting. I have great expectations for this chandelier so stay tuned for the update! Below is a picture of the beautiful purchase. Paisley must have heard us talk about Boyle's because she was pretty unsure of it herself.</span><div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">High school sweetheart they were. It all began at the high
school back to school dance where they finally had the opportunity for a dance. She was devastated when she complimented his
good looks and he replied with a lousy “I like your pants” statement. After that lame compliment by him, she was
unsure of his boyfriend capabilities. Fortunately he regained the boyfriend
ability when he asked her out shortly after. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Their love continued to blossom as they moved to college
together. It wasn’t long before they knew they couldn’t live without each
other. They spent the next three years
of college traveling to their favorite places, tailgating at their beloved
Washburn Football games, choosing career paths together, taking late night
trips to Sheridan’s, and doing what they
love the most—spending time with their families.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On 11/11/11 he rolled out of bed and decided that he was
ready to propose to her. She had already had a stressful morning so when he was
texting her, begging her to join him at the governor’s mansion for a casual
date, she respectfully declined. He eventually convinced her to join him on a
walk through the governor’s trails. He wasn’t acting out of the ordinary and
she had no idea what was yet to come. Naturally, he got a rock in his shoe but
instead reached for his pocket. On a bended knee he told her all of the things
he loves about her and asked her to marry him. After asking him “is this for
real?” she undoubtedly said “ Yes"</span></div>

The idea is that they will give you $20 to give to someone else who needs it. Of course, I was all over this event, especially because I was heading to Joplin in just a matter of days. Ever since May 22nd, 2011, the city of Joplin has stolen my heart. I spent a few days there shortly after the tornado and was finally able to return this weekend to volunteer for the Hope Station and Extreme Home Makeover. Needless to say, my heart is still in Joplin. Moral of the story is that I met a young woman who had evacuated her high school graduation due to the storm. I sat down with her for quite some time but it didn't take long for me to see the struggles she was facing, exactly five months after the tornado. Right before I left, I approached her with the money the Educational Credit Union had given me. I was nervous, wanting this gift to be out of pure humbleness, modesty, and with the right intentions. Thankfully, she received it graciously and I left knowing God had directed me to the right person that day.</span><div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Please go to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Educational Credit Union Facebook</span> page (a link is posted on my wall) and "Like" my video. The video with the most "likes" will receive $500 to their charity of choice. If you can't find it, it is probably because they spelled my name "Kasna." I would sincerely appreciate your vote! This $500 could do great things in Joplin, Missouri!</b></span></div>

I have to admit, I'm a little embarrassed to put this picture on here but without it, I would have no blog post for today. So, my not-so-wordless-Wednesday post is all about celebrating <b>six</b> years hanging out with this awesome guy. Here's to our first (decent, normal, not weird) picture together!</div>

I'm happy to be back to the blogging world. I've been super busy and have missed updating my little sunshine blog. I must begin this post with a shout-out to my amazing sister, Kelsi, for revamping my blog banner. She is so creative! Don't you love what she did? If so, you should contact her about refashioning your blog, too!<br />

If you are looking for furniture, this is your place! Needless to say, I came home empty handed but my head was spinning with creative ideas...especially after I raided my parents storage closest and found this...treasure? Below is my latest summer project. I've been meaning to upload pictures of the three chairs I painted but haven't gotten to that yet. Check out my facebook mobile uploads to see one! Oh, and if you can't live without this item or those wild orange chairs, be sure to let me know!</span><br />

Those were my plans, not God's plans. I was sitting in church on Sunday morning (a service that I wasn't planning on being able to go to) as someone got up to speak about the Joplin relief efforts. It hit me really hard and I knew it was God urging me to go. So, I came home trying to figure out what I could do to help. Apparently God had it worked out way before I did because it was planned and I was off work before Sunday lunch was over. I am so thankful for proactive parents who helped me get this trip going! The following Sunday, my mom, Kim, and I headed towards Joplin for a few days of volunteering at College Heights Christian Church distribution center. Here are a few pictures from the trip that really don't do it justice.<br />

I love my dog. I love my mom. I love ice cream. How can one word be used in so many ways? When I think of one thing I could not live without, it's not my car or my dog, it's love. Love is insanely powerful. But unfortunately, we are not very lovable people sometimes. We are all a society full of liars, cheaters, adulterers, and thieves. Yet Jesus looks deep into our sinful hearts and, without a hint of judgement, offers us compassion and help in our times of need. Thanks to the love and compassion I have been offered through Jesus Christ, I have decided to live and to love with that same nonjudgmental compassion. Today I choose to love, unconditionally, all walks of life---homeless, addicted, sick, and needy. Thank you Jesus for loving me and giving me a compassionate heart to love and help your people.<br />

Using specialized equipment, coaching and encouragement, children will "lose the training wheels." For children with disabilities, learning to ride a bicycle has many benefits, such as increased confidence and self-esteem, inclusion with peers, independent transportation, and most important, increased quality of life through recreation. Everyday I'll partner with a special little one and we'll work together to learn how to ride a bike!</span></span><br />

It all started this winter when we were stuck inside on a few college snow days. Lucky me!! I was stranded so I decided to craft. I even resorted to origami because there were no supplies and no way to get out in the snow. Unfortunately, the only time I craft is when I have a TON of homework to do hence the title..crafting is way better than studying! So naturally, when finals week came around, I began crafting again! Here are my recent creations!<div><br />
