Since we have been married Dave started a new shift at work [Praise Jesus!], I've been promoted to a new position, both of our cars had to be worked on and cost a ginormous chunk of change, I've been through a Jonah precept study at Church, gained 10 pounds! [no babies, though!], had our roof redone, turned 23, found out one of my bestest friends is having a baby, in process of getting my bumper redone from Mr. Mike Blake Jr. of Channel 14 backing into my parked car [gotta chuckle], dropped yet another phone and had to get it replaced, taken a roadtrip back home, finally got Dave to clean out 50 tshirts to donate [and he still has 3 drawers of just Tshirts), interviewed for a new job that I did not receive [trusting God has me where he wants me), Dave has had his wisdom teeth taken out, came down with the flu, watched our nephew for 2 weekends, bought a new bedroom suite....everyday is some sort of adventure!! Is life always this crazy? :)
Christians say the first year is always the hardest. I agree. And we still have 10 more months to go. It is so hard to just be selfless and gracious, to "look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." -Phil 2:4 The flesh hates it! Dave and I are learning a lot about each other...as well as ourselves. I am sure thankful our marriage is rooted in and rests in Christ...because I sure couldn't do it myself.

You have a blog! I would say that the first year of marriage is a lot of adjustments to each other. We have been married for 2 years and still sometimes it can be like a square one! But you know the joys of marriage and the reward of sharing your life together!
Haha Yeah! Just started it and I love blogging!
Thanks for the encouragement! John Piper said the first 40 years are the hardest. I had to laugh! :)
