When Dylan and I tied the knot we were very practical

We did not go all out and purchase the top financial tier we could afford

We came in under budget

We focused on what was important: glorifying God through our vow and union before Him

We felt so loved by our family and friends

But, this wasn't the happiest day of my life

Many say their wedding day is the bride's day

The wedding day is when you can put on that fairytale white dress and be treated like a princess

Was this a good day...even a great day?  Of course!


However, we are loved by our family and friends every day


I am daily treated like a princess by my Father (and Dylan)


Dylan and I are consistently attempting to glorify God through our marriage

I can think of family gatherings, foggy morning sunrises with God and days where my husband and I serve together...our wedding is placed somewhere in the middle of all of these fond, cherished memories

Hmmm...peaceful memories

Here's a fun mini series of...how our marriage operates:)

Dylan and I...

are jobless, and hence careerless

are homeless

are foodless

are whitepicketfenceless

are medicalinsuranceless

But by the grace of God...

I have a temporary job that will start next month

We have loving family who lovingly, without a second thought, will take us in

...and who feed us:)

It is scary being married...we are a family now and have to take care of one another

I can't just go along on my own accord...Dylan's still here

Things have not exactly turned out like we planned they would a month ago when we said our vows...and that's okay and in some ways expected

We're okay with God throwing up these roadblocks...we're growing and growing together during these struggles.  But when will God provide housing, food, jobs, insurance?  Weren't these struggles supposed to come later...as in not the first month we are married?

We are slowly realizing that we trust God to provide...but are we faithful?  Are we faithful that He will provide in His own time?  Are we faithful that these struggles will not only stretch us, but we might actually gain wisdom and faith far beyond what we expected to learn during the first month of our marriage? 

We love being married.  We love being married and serving our Lord and the people around us.  

          -that sums up our first month of marriage

Day...What?

Life is nothing short of a crazy adventure that God lays out for us to enjoy, struggle and learn.

Here's a few pictures to wrap up this past month...all complete blessings
