A Month, A Week, & A Day

Yep- that's how long Rob and I have been married! Time flies when you're having fun! We moved into an apartment this past Monday, and have spent most of our evenings this past week trying to find places for all our boxes. We finally got everything we're not using right now into the extra bedroom in an arrangement where we can close the door and not think about it every day! My goal is to go through all those boxes over the course of the next six months while we're here... neither of us packed very well (since we thought our stuff would only be in boxes for a couple of weeks) and very few boxes are labeled. Eventually it will all get sifted and sorted, but for tonight, we're just relaxing! Fortunately we've been able to keep a positive outlook- as we sat eating pizza Monday night surrounded by boxes on all sides, Rob joked, "This is what it's supposed to be like when you first get married!" He even told his brothers they could come over and "play fort" around all the boxes!! It was a great feeling, though, to be able to finally cook my first meal for my husband in OUR home! It wasn't that spectacular, but we're home, and THAT is wonderful!
It's good to have an address. And even better having a spouse to share the struggles with! In spite of all the obstacles we've faced in these first weeks of marriage, it's so great!!!! I wouldn't trade my life for anything. God is still in control, He's providing for all our needs, and we're grateful.
You have filed my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4: 7-8
