Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
My heart is yearning for something right now, but I just can't have it yet. Lord, give the patience to wait for your timing.

Trying to change more than my hair color
Last Friday I changed my hair color to Chocolate brown! Most people like it and so do I, so I think I'll stick with it for a little while :)
More than just my hair color, I've been trying to change a few things lately. We get so caught up in our daily selfish lives that we forget who we are supposed to be for Christ. The last few months I've been thinking alot about who I need to be and what I need to do and searching for the answer of the meaning of a life full of purpose.
I took a walk in the beautiful spring weather yesterday and just talked to God. I know if I want true happiness I need to be in His will. Whatever He needs from me, I need to obey. He may not be able to show me the whole picture right now, but I'm just praying that He will daily guide me in His will.
Today I was thinking alot about humbleness and being slow to anger. I may look like a cute little blonde (not any more!) but surprising to some, sometimes I let my anger get the best of me, and I've been praying for God to help me.
Saturday night I watched "Gone with the wind" with my mother in law and sister in laws. I don't remember names, but the main character was such a selfish person, and the lady who married the man she loved, was such a kind considerate person, exactly what I want to be. I know I want to be that kind of person who loves all, but sometimes the thing that holds me back is the fear of being walked all over and taken for granted. But I guess it really doesn't matter if they do, because I should be doing it for God, not them. I can't remember where right now, but somewhere in the Bible it tells us to do good, but not let our left hand see what the right is doing. If we do good things just get a reward or thanked for it, that is our only reward. But if we do it in secret without recognition, how much greater will our reward be in Heaven!
God, help me to become the person you want me to be.

Hello my name is Mrs. Brittany Hubbel :)
What a whirlwind the past month has been! The wedding went perfectly (thank goodness!) and I couldn't have asked for a more fun reception! I was afraid since we were having an afternoon reception that people might not dance, but the first song played the dance floor was full!I know everyone was wondering where we were going on our honeymoon (including me!) and we ending up going to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! We stayed at the Riu Hotel Resort; it was just gorgeous with the ocean, palm trees and Sierra mountains surrounding us! We even went whale watching which was a blast! (Joel might disagree, he got a little seasick) But overall it was a great relaxing week in a beautiful place :)
But I am so relieved now that the wedding is over and life is back to normal, the new normal. We love our small apartment in Byron Center. I am keeping busy working and babysitting, and Joel should be able to go back to work in the next few weeks.
PICS!
We are still waiting for pictures from our photographer but here are links to my pics on facebook:

Goodbye
* EDIT - We ended up being able to fix my car YAY :)
I didn't wake up this morning knowing I would have to say goodbye to Howard, my first car and my car of 3 years.
I was surprised by how much snow we got last night and before exiting onto the main road, I told myself to be extra careful, since I haven't driven in snow in many months. I made it almost to work, then when I tried to turn into the drive, I kept going straight and ran into the curb.
By hitting the curb I pushed in my axle, so my tire is now touching the car, the rim is smashed, and the break line is bent. My Grandpa thinks it will cost over $1000 to fix, which is more than the car is worth, so it's totaled.
I'm not sure why is was so emotional, but I broke down and bawled my eyes out, knowing that I would have to say goodbye and junk him out for $150.
I don't know what I'm going to do, buying a car this close to a wedding and getting an apartment isn't going to be easy at all, but I know my God will provide, and it's going to be ok.

I voted! :)
I voted for the first time today :) I went at about 10:30 which I think was really smart, there was no line at all! I voted for John McCain, actually a straight republican ticket, and No on proposal 1 and 2. I had no idea who the judges were so didn't do that :P The chances don't look good for McCain :( But I'm trusting in God that He has a plan and a purpose for everything. I did my part and I prayed, and that's about all I can do. I'm honestly a little afraid of having Obama run our country, with his lack of background in politics and the charisma he has that woes people in an almost Anti-Christ way. I'm not saying he is, but he's definitely a suspect in my book. Anyways, I'm hoping the best for our nation, GOD BLESS AMERICA!
