Our New Home

We have been married for one and a half months now and still feel like we are on our honeymoon! Married life is better than anything we could have ever dreamed of. Maybe it's because during our whole engagement we were apart and now we are just happy to be together. No matter what the reason, we are enjoying the beginning of the rest of our lives. We have heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest. Well, we are already 1/12 of the way through and if it keeps going the way it is now, looks like we have a great life ahead of us.

God has blessed us with a beautiful home! We have posted pictures so you can see what we mean. It has been so much fun decorating our home and thanks to the generosity of our family and loved ones, we have such lovely, beautiful things in our new home. I (Bridgett) love doing craft projects. So, I have really enjoyed adding to our home by painting a picture (my first ever), painting the coffee table and key stand beside the desk. Also, in the pictures you will see 2 chairs that I painted and reupholstered to match our dining table. The best part is the chairs didn't cost a thing. Someone was getting rid of them. One mans trash is another mans treasure. Not only do I like to be crafty but also thrifty. We hope you enjoy the pictures of our place, but it looks so much better in person. So come visit us soon!

One of our favorite things to do is cook! That is one of the bonds that we have always had, our love for food and eating. We both come from families that have taught us to appreciate good food, and even better, to appreciate the good company you have that food with. We are constantly finding new recipes and trying them, most have been surprisingly successful and very tasty! Our current task is trying to create the perfect homemade pizza. This is our new Friday night tradition. We make our pizza and enjoy all the delicious slices while watching the new episode of Monk and discussing what is really good about the pizza and what we can improve next week. We will keep you posted on our progress.

We have also found a church we are regularly attending that has a service on Saturday night. We really like the Saturday night service, because we can have a total day of rest on Sunday. This past month the pastor spoke on the end times. How important it is to keep looking towards the Lords return and make sure that we are prepared. Hearing his sermons really helped to keep us focused and searching God's Word for answers to our questions.

We hope you enjoy the pictures and our first post to our blog! It's hard to believe after almost settling in to our new home we will be packing up in 2 months for Hawaii. God has great things in store and we are ready for the adventure we will have together!!!

Missing you all!
