The Married Life!

Golly!! It's been quite the last 7 weeks!! 

The Married life! 

What a GREAT life! 

Today, Cody left me this card 

And I love what it says: "Hearts and flowers are beautiful, but what we have day in and day out while we're sharing life together is more beautiful still. I love our life together.. and I love you." 

That's got to be one of the best descriptions of hour our first two months of marriage have been. 

It's been fun, it's been an adventure, and we've fallen so deeply in love with each other since the day we said "I promise."
He reminds me, often, of the vows that he made to me.

Like the vow to always kiss me goodnight. 

or the vow to SHOW me that he loves me before he tells me. 

I have LOVED making a home with him. 

I have loved LIVING in that home with him. 

I've loved the routine, yet I've loved the spontaneity of the little surprises.

I've loved getting to know him. 

I've loved getting to spend time just BEING with him. 

I've loved getting to do married things like baking, and cleaning and watching TV with him. 

I've loved seeing the way he leads me.
The way he hangs curtains and pictures and puts things away and does the laundry and cooks...
It's just awesome.

I heard everyone tell me before we got married, that the first year would be the toughest.
Mind you, we still have 10 months left of that supposed, "toughest" year, but so far, it's been quite the opposite. We aren't, by any means, perfect, but I think what we've discovered has been there all along, and I think people just forget about it sometimes. 

Forgive. 

Talk. 

Have inside jokes.

PRAY.

There's so many little thing's I've learned just in the past two months, it's incredible.
I will say that I LOVE being married SO much more than dating, being BF/GF/ or even fiances. 

There's so much more freedom, and I also just love being with him!
I hate that I have to leave him every morning, but it makes weekends that much more exciting!

I love doing ministry with him. I love knowing that he is praying protection over me, us, our family, our future children, our home. I love that he prays, period! I love that he loves scripture. I love that he is so positive. I love that he is a natural teacher at heart. And father. He's going to make the best Daddy ever!

I just really enjoy him as a person. And i love being able to experience the intimacy in every aspect as husband and wife, best friends, lovers, help meets, prayer partners, accountability partners, everything.

I cannot wait to see where we will be next year this time, or 5 years this time, or 50 years this time. 

:) It's so exciting. 

Love love love hard
