As a constant and consistent journal keeper, I believe in power of the written word. I love all things literature, all things paper, all things scripture & have a sense of peace after a solid journaling session. I've followed blogs before, and have always thought that blogging is a hobby I could certainly take up and wholeheartedly enjoy. But, I've always put it off and put it off some more, until now. I am so excited to start blogging and look forward to keep both a paper and URL journal! I'm enthusiastic and so joyful to start a wonderful way to share and remember the memories we create.
Something that has been on my heart lately is the immeasurable amount of blessings that Lord has blessed me with this past year. I got married in October, we bought a home back in June, and rescued our first baby puppy in November. My desire for marriage had been strong on my heart for a long time, and God certainly chose to bless me with a wonderful and strong husband. Of course, God had to prepare my heart and mind for marriage in a unique way, and by the time Dan graced me with his presence, I felt more than ready. God teaches us that his design for marriage is the holy union between two souls, and I certainly believe that a Christ centered marriage is an amazing entity to pray for. Song of Solomon: "I have found the one that my soul loves".
We moved into our home and put a lot of energy into turning it from just a "house" into a "home". We painted, redid a condenmed deck (with the amazing help from Dan's family!), decorated, cleaned like crazy, and have plans for more renovations.
We rescued Cody, our first dog together and he has both drove us completely nuts and brought us so much joy! All you need is love and a dog.
We began a healthy lifestyle, which for us meant no more eating at Chipotle 2-3x a week (this was a real thing when we were dating) and started making homemade meals every day. We started working out (and I even got a treadmill!) and became an active couple. I lost some of the extra weight I put on and enjoy looking for healthy meals to cook.

After this record breaking winter, we've got spring on our mind and I'm realizing that I only have 3 more months left of school-time is so precious yet so fleeting!
Thankyou for taking the time to read this, I am so excited to see where blogging takes me!
