Over the past seven months my life has changed dramatically. I have been married for nearly six of those months and thinking about that really blows my mind. I always knew growing up that I wanted to fall in love and get married and be a mommy, but I never expected the journey to pick up so quickly. I say seven months because the month prior to our wedding seemed to be a bigger turning point in my life than anything. I was so busy and overwhelmed that I barely remember anything about it. I must say, though that I am so glad that I had everything done so far in advance that I was able to take care of final touches an entire month before the wedding. That alone made my wedding day almost completely stress free.
Speaking of all of this life change really makes me focus on the consistancy of Christ and I am able to rest in that. I have been so busy lately. I am babysitting twice a week for about 10 hours each day and going to school twice a week for about 3 hours a day. I am also taking two online courses that are the most time-consuming ones I have taken yet. Besides all of this I am striving to learn how to be the wife that my husband needs. I am cleaning the apartment, washing/drying/folding/ironing clothes, meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, washing a million dishes, and unfortunately paying bills. I say these things not to complain because I definitely love the thought of being a housewife and taking care of my husband and (future) children. I thoroughly enjoy organizing all of these things into my life to make things simpler. I feel that taking this time to try to figure out how to organize my time now will really help me in the future once I have several kids running around and my life is so insanely busy that I will look back to days like today when I talked about how busy I was and just laugh.
All of this being said, I am definitely looking forward to the future that Christ has in store for me, Corey and our family. I can't wait to watch our children enter the world and grow up into little people and show them all the things of the world and explain to them the greatness of God. I feel as though I am called as a Christian to serve my husband and that honestly thrills me. I still am not used to the idea that I am able to be part of an example of Christ and his church through my marriage. It is so beautiful.
Well, Evie just woke up so I better go get to work!
