Almost 6 months married

We're trying our hand at blogging. Be patient with us! It's been a busy 6 months in our lives. After our beautiful wedding in August, I started my 4th year of teaching, we adopted a crazy lab mix named Bogey and Sam started a new job in December. It's been an adventure, but we've enjoyed every moment together.

A few things we've learned along the way:

Bogey actually likes the "bitter apple" spray that is intended to stop dogs from chewing. ???

Baseball season stops in October and begins in October....

Edy's slow churned Fudge Tracks is always on the diet

Cooking takes practice. a l o t o f p r a c t i c e . . .

We both run late... no matter where we go, no matter when we intend to leave the house, we are late. Give us a 10 min grace period when expecting us to be somewhere.

A puppy has satisfied any desire for baby Nelson... no worries!

We both rarely stay awake for a full movie, regardless of the time or day of the week.

Jeans are considered a "need" and purses and flats and black yoga pants for that matter!

I make lunches at 6:00 the previous night. I like to be prepared.

It's awfully cold at 5 am when bogey wants to go outside.

You know you're a true salesman when you say this in your sleep: "All I can give you is 10% off" haha

Now for the marriage stuff we've learned:

Constantly invite God into our day, work, and marriage.

You before Me. best marriage advice ever.

Give up your need to be right.

Outserve your mate daily.

Little notes can make a day.

"It's your turn to take out the dog." "No, it's yours." I have a feeling this doesn't change with kids.

Sports and facebook take up way too much of our quality time. We're working on that...

My husband is the most patient, serving, loving man I have ever met.

We fall in love with each every day.

We have both been amazed at the way our Lord has worked in our marriage and made this the best 6 months we could imagine. It has its ups and downs, but that is part of the ride of life. We hope to share a little part of our life as we start our family in twenty ten: the laughter, the tears and everywhere in between. Enjoy!!
