home sweet home

I love home.

And, I am so happy to back! I love my house and my family and my friends all so very much. I love the quite and the birds chirping. I love the space in my house to actually walk around. I love that I can turn my music up as loud as a want and praise the Lord without the neighbors getting mad. And, I love my bed. 

I'm sorry, my readers, for not blogging in such a long time. Life has been a bit busy these past few weeks. But, now that I'm back to a normal life again I can starting writing! . . . so happy. :)

Since I've been home I have been working a ton. (probably not as much as all you mothers out there though lol) I went from working 3-5 hours/week to 25 hours/week at my dad's shop. That's pretty big for me, but I love and feel completely blessed to work for my dad. Jonathan has set up an office there, as well, for the business he started. So now we get to see each other ALL THE TIME! Most people would ask, "Doesn't that get a little aggravating, spending almost every hour with him?" Well of course it does at moments, just like it would for any couple, but I love it! I'm so in love with that man and savor every moment!

I also turned 21 this month. . . April 13th. It was fun, Jonathan threw me a little party on my birthday because, I wanted one. Then, he ended up surprising me with a huge party the next day. It was fabulous. :) Oh, and he bought me a camera. It's awesome.

We both have memberships to the rec and have been trying to go three times a week before work. It is actually kind of fun, accept for the "getting up early" part. Other than that it makes me feel accomplished. God has blessed me with this young body and I want to keep it as healthy as I can for when it's not so young.

And, one last thing that's kind of big in my life. I'm helping with Apples of Gold at our church. For those of you who don''t know what it is...it's a woman's meeting where the mature woman of Christ mentor the new Christian woman and younger woman. It's such an amazing ministry. I took the classes a couple years ago and had a wonderful time. This time around, I am helping with the cooking demonstrations. It's a lot of fun and I get to keep the recipes afterwards! I'm sure my husband will appreciate some new yummy meals.

Well, that's all for now. Sorry if this blog was a little boring or rushed. I just needed to catch up on a few things. Hopefully I'll be able to add more devotional/demonstration/exciting blogs soon!
