well today devin and i have been married for 100 days! these days have been filled with laughter and tears, loads of laundry, other weddings, lots of movie nights, grocery shopping and much more!one of our favorite things to do is watch movies! until just last week we didnt have internet so instead of being on facebook and playing games online we watched a lot of movies together, and now that we have internet we still watch a lot of movies. honestly i think it was a good thing for us to not have internet at first, we learned to live without it and when we really needed it we could go to devin's parents house and use their connection. but back to movies, we have watching everything from the little mermaid to undercover blues to sweet home Alabama to monster in law. devin has introduced me to the fort wayne public library. those who know me would think i have lost my mind but i love it! for two reasons, on-site dunkin doughnuts and a HUGE movie section! most nights we have a snack and a movie and go to sleep. almost like an old married couple... just without the old part!
something else we have enjoyed together is our couples devotional, no greater love by russ rice, brad silverman, and lisa guest. it is 90 days of learning how to love your spouse in the sacrificial and unconditional way God loves us. each days includes a scripture, story, prayer, and love action. the love action might be my favorite part, it is 2 suggestions of things to do that go along with that days devotional, things like going for walks or swinging at the park or doing each others most hated chores. it also has things to talk about. anything from discussing your favorite worship song to telling your testimony to weather you like your pizza reheated in the microwave or the oven. over all its a good book!
i am already longing for another
honeymoon. the time to relax, stair into each others eyes with pure joy and amazement, hours on end to focus on each other without the distractions of the real world. no rent/bills to pay, no coupons to clip, no floors to mop, and no dishes to wash. no headlines about iraq or the president to worry about, and no drama of what to wear or how to fix my hair. just pure joy, hand in hand with my husband. more time to walk on the beach, more ice cream cones to eat on the pier, more sea shells to find, and more sunrises to get up and watch for 5 minutes before turning to bed til 10! this time will come but never fast enough. for now i'll just love in the real world and try to enjoy every minute of it.
how did we celebrate 100 days you ask.... well we didnt really. we slept in because it was devins day off. then we spent most of the day with our good friend livv. we went to lunch (devins choice - mexican) and watched some movies, surprise surprise. after livv left we went to the grocery store together to buy a gallon of milk! so romantic right! and we ending the night with come friendly competition through an online game, devin bought me some beautiful roses, and i made mini muffins!
so when it comes to being married i couldnt ask for anything more. God has blessed us beyond our comprehension and we long to bring glory to him through it all! will all the trials and mountains we have faced and all the smiles and fun times we have shared in this short time i can only imagine what we will experience in the next 100 days, and years so come!
