Married Life (One month in...)

I think it could be fun to have little posts about what Brian and I are learning as we begin on this road as a married couple...

This last month has been great and Brian and I have been overwhelmed with the blessing others have been in our life during this season!  We loved having all of our family and friends (that were able to) come and share that special moment with us.  We got some of the pictures back (I will post them shortly or check out Facebook for them in the meanwhile) this week and we are in love with them.  I think I got to re-live that day by looking at all of the pictures.  Something that was present, was JOY. You can see it in a few pictures of Brian and I laughing and enjoying the day. So good.

Married life so far:

After a month and 2 days of sharing a bed with someone who sleeps way different than I do (he likes to wrap his feet in his blankets while I like to have everything tucked in nicely) I gave in and decided it was fine if the covers wouldn't be tucked in.  We are definitely leaning some of the little things will have to change.  The best part of giving up something (yes, even something as small as the covers) is the appreciation that comes with it.  It makes it easier as we learn to love each other more each day to know this person who loves you will recognize your sacrifices (if we can call them that).  We are being constantly reminded of our need for Jesus so much more now than before and are grateful for that and excited for what the Lord will be doing in this time. 

June 15th is Moving Day! We will be packing up our ABF cargo container thing on June 12th and cleaning the apartment/loading cars and finishing out the work week.  Friday after work we will drive to Dallas to have dinner and stay with Brian's Brother and Sister-in-Law.  Saturday we will drive to MO and see my step-dad and siblings.  Monday we will head on out the rest of the way to KY. We are so excited.  There is still so much to do and I am hoping that since tomorrow is officially June it will make it seem even closer and help me kick it into gear and get some motivation to pack. :) 

Tomorrow night I have a phone interview and we are waiting to hear back about a potential Skype interview for Brian as well!  Continued prayers for jobs is always appreciated.

And SO, each day we are choosing to live out these vows we gave, even when the world throws us curve balls and there is so much uncertainty ahead:

I will 
cherish and love you …
more each day….
than I did the day before.
I will trust you…
and respect you,
laugh with you…
and cry with you, 
loving you faithfully …
through good times and bad,
regardless of the obstacles 
we may face together.
I give you my hand,
my heart,
and my love, from this day forward
for as long as we both shall live.
