I can't believe how the Lord has orchestrated our relationship from the moment we met in 6th grade until now. It's so beautiful how God works in our simple lives.
I thought since many of our loved ones in other cities wouldn't be seeing us on the reg anymore, I would start a blog with my honey to keep you guys in the loop!
After a wonderful honeymoon in Cancun (a very pleasant surprise), we have finally settled in to our little apartment near Matt's school. I have to say even 30 minutes from Chapel Hill is a culture shock for me. But, Raleigh feels much more like Charlotte than the small college-y town of Chapel Hill did.
For 2 weeks our place was FULL of boxes--not just moving boxes, but furniture boxes since we had the grand idea of building ALL our bedroom furniture (not happening ever again). Yet, I have to say it was a bonding experience building and often rebuilding the various ensembles. Matt proved his man card with his handy carpenter skills and I proved my lady-likeness by watching in encouragement :)
But being newlyweds has not been just fun and games. Bills. We refuse to let these nasty adult bills quench our new apartment spirit! We just think of them as reminders of our leaving and cleaving...and to us that's the most optimistic we can be.
I start my job the beginning of September at an accounting firm where I will be auditing. Thankfully, the Lord provided us a means to pay those bills ;)
We are so thankful and blessed to have all our friends and family loving and supporting us as we start our journey as one!
Congratulations!!!! So excited to be the first one to post on your blog!!!! Glad you guys are settling in!
