Happy One Month Anniversary To Us!

One month ago today....

Today...well...we're behind the wheels of two different vehicles, navigating the snow-covered roadways to our separate jobs in separate towns. My hair was "done" this morning with significantly less effort {and hairspray} and Ryan, to my knowledge, is not wearing a tie chain. {Funny how those don't work on scrubs.}

Please, oh please take me back to the beach!!

But I digress.

I told Ryan the other day that our wedding feels like a lifetime ago. It feels like we've always been married.

It. Feels. Right.

Our first month of marriage has been anything but ordinary.

We spent the first week of it on our honeymoon...

...enjoying the beach...

...and then we came home and launched, headfirst into decorating for our first Christmas....

...and then, of course, there WAS Christmas. Our first Christmas together...less than one month after we said our vows.

...it's been a busy month. Since slipping rings on each other's hands, we traveled over 1200 miles in 2 days...we moved into the same home and began to learn each other's routines, habits and schedules...we began the {seemingly never ending} tasks of combining our "behind the scenes" lives, changing my name, and bringing two physical households into one...we continued to learn each other's quirks...we made it through the first {albeit minor} sickness...and we did a lifetime of laughing.

And just a whisper before this month-anniversary milestone, we ushered in a brand new year...full of glorious unknown.


 And we welcome it eagerly, knowing that our God has written the year ahead just for us...and we are excited to live out its days together.

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Psalm 90:12
