I have decided that I would give this Blog thing a shot since I have had more free time on my hands now than I have in four years and I have been thinking ALOT! It is really so hard for me to believe that the wedding is all over. For 11 months, I was consumed with The Wedding. So much to consider.... So much worry... So much stress... and now.. for it all to be over... Because so much went into planning the wedding, I have caught myself asking Kyle a time or two if we could have another ceremony and get married again! The wedding weekend was amazing and I am so grateful for all of the memories. I still sometimes wake up and ponder about how I could have made this or that better, but in reality, it could not have been any better for Kyle and me.
The Lord's presence was definately with us during the ceremony. I literally felt His arms around me as I was staring into Kyle's eyes and making a commitment to not only Kyle but also the Lord as well. My family and friends made the day just so great. I was pampered, encouraged, kept together when I was about to lose it, and loved on during one of the most important days of my life.
We have now been married for a MONTH! WOW!! How time flies. I absolutely love married life. One of my good friends just wrote me a facebook message and really opened my eyes to something. She is engaged and will be married in the Fall and we talked back and forth about the greatness and yet hardship of marriage. The thing that she brought to my attention was that our relationship with the Lord is also like marriage in the fact that it is the Best relationship but also the hardest. So true and just another example of how the Lord uses marriage to give us an example of the relationship He has with all of His children....
So where do we go from here? I start teaching the last week of July so I have had a lot of free time. It has been a blessing because I had time to adjust into married life. I think about hard it would be to jump into all of these changes and start a new job on top of all of the new in my life. I am definately ready to find a church for us to call home and get involved and meet other newlyweds. We have visited a couple of churches but both feel that we have not found the church that is most like us. Please pray for our church home. As much as I love not having a schedule to abide by everyday, I think I am ready to get on a rountine and start teaching. Well thanks for listening to me babble. I miss you all so much! I will be back soon to post you on our exciting life... not really too exciting... LOVE YOU ALL!!
