settle down.

adorable, i know!

this is my weakness. (which doesnt explain me not actually taking a picture again, but i would love to actually find this house and take a picture.) it is so easy for me to not be content in this stage of life just because im ready for our future. im ready for an adorable home like this one, kids! and adoption, an suv, mom friends and mom jeans... okay never mom jeans! we both want this and are really excited about the monograms and cute bows our girls will wear and teaching our boys to respect girls but love dirt at the same time. but it is easier for j to be content in this stage of life because he loves school. it is his passion to study and be in school, but mainly to learn about our Savior. i know i have said this before, but i dont want to miss this stage of our life wanting another one to be here. and its so much easier to say "snap out of it m!" but i really do want to snap out of it. so my goal is to enjoy this stage we are in and be happy being newlyweds and settle down just two of us. 

but ill store this picture away just for future reference. 

hey, a girl can dream right?

welcome to kentucky.

so back in october i decided i was going to be a blogger, but after a very short lived adventure aka one post, it ended.

but im back- thanks to women at my home church who would like to keep up with us and our new home.

so on january 21 we packed up the truck and headed west on 40 (and some other highways) and ended up in Louisville, Kentucky. there was an apartment waiting for us and some school books with josh's name on them. and thats where we currently live- for two very cold weeks now. north carolina was much warmer in my mind. things are good here (i think i have said that sentence so much its now programmed to come out of my mouth). things are actually lonely and cold and snowy at times here. we are working on the job thing and the friend thing, and praying spring shows up somewhere. the good news is josh loves school! but of course he does, when he grows up he wants to be a scholar. :)

all in all, we trust God. we moved on faith and we are living day by day on faith. we know this unexplainable city is where God wants us, so we are doing this only with His help.

so now we start our "we are in seminary!" stage of life. and as we do that we ask for prayers and encouragement.
