So..I have decided to start blogging as a way to keep track of and share of all the awesome memories Justin and I are making and of course, lessons we are learning, in our first season of married life. Let me start by saying, if you were a part of our special day 8/15/09--THANK YOU! That was the most beautiful, fun, and amazing day for us! Sometime I will blog the specifics of all that and hope to share pictures--but for now--let me catch you up on where God has brought us and where your love and encouragement has allowed us to go!
Following the wedding we took our first big road trip--and drove to Destin, FL where we had a great honeymoon stay and successfully dodged all tropical storms! We ate amazing food...(longhorn steakhouse our favorite and there isn't one in TX..boo) we also learned that I cannot play frisbee, or 'body surf' but Justin did teach me throw a football correctly!
When we arrived home we had been blessed not only, with a living room full of wedding presents, but also a new mattress (total suprise from my parents) and basically, a new bathroom. Justin's mom had spent hours scrubbing his bachelor bathroom into a...healthy bathroom?
As a wedding gift someone enrolled us in Dave Ramsey's financial peace university, so we are going through that and loving it. We are also helping our with Junior high youth on Sunday evenings and have joined a church life group that meets once a week. Can I just say that our church family is truly a family-- and functions as a community. It is the most amazing and refreshing work to be a part of.

For a while things had slowed down for Justin but seem to be picking back up. He works very hard and is going through a men's discipleship program at our church-- I am really proud of him.I am finishing my senior year at Southeastern and all classes are going well. Oh and Justin has a dog, Ranger, and unbeknownst to me, Justin had never given him human food in the kitchen--and Justin began to notice Ranger following me around and literally drooling when I would walk in the kitchen--so we have been busted, Ranger and I. I have been feeding Ranger leftovers when I am home with him...and now...he won't eat dog food..but he is sooo happy...and we are too! There is so much more--but these are the basics! Month one has been awesome...we are so blessed and praise God from whom all blessings flow!
