I have made some new, sweet friends recently while leading a teen girl’s Shepherd Group through our church. Inquiring minds wanted to know how Chuck and I met so I shared our story. There has been a request for me to WRITE out the story, and as promised, here I will tell it again. Happily! =) A little over a year ago I moved to VA from MN. I began attending a church in the area comprised mostly of single,…
Last Sunday afternoon I went out for coffee with some new girlfriends. They were both saying they had “The Sunday Night Blues”. Both had to go back to work the next morning and confessed to feeling down about the weekend coming to a close. I didn’t say much at the time, but I went home and declared to Chuck, “I don’t have the Sunday night blues!” (said with a major grin on my face!) I really love my life! I…
So what do I DO all day?! Easy. I follow my heart’s desire and that is to take care of my husband! Obviously that can look a million different ways for a million different people. For me, I enjoy planning, creating, preparing, and administrating our home. A friend gave me this awesome calendar and I write out chores, meals, activities, our schedules and fun stuff on there. Then during the week I pretty much follow the calendar. I love To-Do…
It has been one of the biggest joys of my life to be Chuck’s wife, and to stay at home. I was greatly reminded of this passion the other day when a good friend of mine announced, “I just want to be a wife and a mom!” (This coming from a woman with an amazing career!) She uttered the EXACT sentence I have said for countless years. And now ladies and gentlemen, I am a wife! I keep announcing it…
This Sunday marks 3 months of marriage for us! I do believe it’s been the fastest 3 months of my life. Though in some ways, our wedding still feels like yesterday. At any rate, I now have 3 months as being a wife under my belt. Not a day goes by where I am not in wonder at my new life. Chuck and I have been surrounded by brand new people and situations. We’ve officially joined a new church together….
I’ve been missing our Jamaican honeymoon lately! We visited The Grand Palladium Resort and Spa near Montego Bay. Our honeymoon vacation was a gift from God. People ask us if we would go back and we always say, “We’d recommend YOU go, but if we’re gonna travel like that again, it would be fun to try something new!” I do think we had the best trip either of us has ever taken! We went for 8 nights and 9 days…
My Daddy and I’s dance at the wedding! =)
Thanks for the video, Jen! We LOVE it! =)
Happy 2 Month Anniversary to the man who makes me come alive with a radiance in my soul that I have never known! Indeed, the dreams that I dared to dream really did come true. Dancing onstage at The Mellow Theater in Scranton, Pennsylvania seemed more like a dream then reality. Joanna Nunemaker and her assistant, Janean Truax artistically captured such dramatic scenes between my husband of just a few hours, and I on our wedding day. They made it…
I came across this video today and found myself singing joyfully along! SO heartwarming! I used to love this show. I guess it’s my love for reading, writing, and all things literature. It’s amazing how one small memory can trigger such happy, warm, and safe feelings. I can totally picture myself as a little girl snuggled up on our old family couch mesmerized by this show and all the books it advertised. I love reading!
