On Adventures


Tomorrow we will be married for exactly one month. I'm hardly an expert, but I can tell this will be the adventure of all adventures in the best of ways. We are hardly lazy, but our life together is good and filled with laughter and learning. I have been working a lot. Work has been fantastic; but it has stolen a bit of time from newly married life and my social life. I am thankful to have my hands full with work though. This job and the opportunities I have through it are truly a dream come true.

We are working on establishing our routines. So far I've mapped out work out for five days a week. And we try to make dinners together at least three nights a week. We have some exciting things coming up! We are looking forward to our cabin adventure (my FIRST cabin trip) with our friends this coming September. We will also be going to Mumford and Sons in October. YES! Life is good. Jesus is the greatest. Amen.

It feels like an autumn day.

It's beginning to feel more like my favorite season. The air is cool and the world seems quiet. Like the earth is waiting for something marvelous to happen. I adore it. I just wish Luke were here. He's coming home tonight from three days of work training. I feel very fortunate today. I relaxed with Amy and Michelle this morning and then came home to enjoy my garden. I love seeing the little sprouts come up. It feels like watching magic happen.

I feel so much confirmation about where I'm at in life right now. I have experienced so many years questioning myself and making a mess of everything. It is so nice to have peace and confidence in what is ahead of me. God has taken really good care of me. I am learning how to be a good wife and a better friend. I feel blessed to have the unique opportunity to know and love Luke. He is the most stunning person I know.
