My husband

Dear Lord, please help me see my marriage as a sacred thing. May I always understand that being married was not meant to just make me happy but make my character more holy. Help me remember being married is less about having the right partner and more about being the right partner. Shape me into the wife my husband needs and deserves. Help me to pause before I speak so I don’t react out of anger, frustration, or selfishness. Show me how to respect, love and give to this man in a way that honors You and brings joy to our home. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

We are here...

So we got into California on Monday evening. Our things won't be here till Monday (2 days). We took most of the old route 66 which was pretty rad. We took a few pictures and I'll post those as soon as we get a little more settled. We stopped in Oklahoma and New Mexico. A very eventful and long trip but definitely one that will leave a lasting impression on me. We had almost no furniture, especially since the purple chaise and the table aren't here yet so luckily Alex had a full bed, 2 nightstands, 3 bookshelves, and a black leather recliner in storage so we picked up those things just to fill up the apartment. And, let me just say that 2 people do not fit comfortably on a full size bed...

The good news, my moms best friend happened to have a fairly new Cal. King mattress, and we went out and found a cal king box spring for ridiculous cheap. Then we decided to check out the thrift stores, we were still short a desk and a tv stand; at the very least. We found a tv stand for $10 bucks and a black leather love seat for $25, a pleasant surprise for sure and eventually we found a desk for the computer for $15 buckaroos. I love a well spent $5o...:)

While here I also realized that my Sprint phone does not work in our town. This was only slightly disturbing since I was ready for a new phone anyway. We went to the Verizon store (Which is where Alex has his phone) and decided to look into the family plan. So I got a new phone and it ended up being much cheaper than both of our old phones together, so now I have a new phone and we are saving money, it's a win win situation.

So next week we'll unpack the rest of our home and then I'll start taking pictures:). Can't wait to show you all how beautiful our new place is.

Also, it has proven to be very rewarding to be living near family. God has truly blessed us and I will continue to trust in him for all of our needs.
