10 months of marriage..

I can hardly believe that in 2 days Josh and I will have been married for 10 months.. its been a blur! What a ride we've been on... we've had days of laughing until our sides hurt, crying until we fall asleep, fighting until we're blue in the face, and sitting in utter silence- just to enjoy each others company. In our 10 months of marriage we've lost jobs, gained jobs, gone back to school, aimed to finish a degree, looked forward to the future, glanced back at the past, held onto each other, ran hard after God, fallen more in love with each other with each passing day.. and realized we wouldn't want to be on this roller coaster of life with any other partner.

Looking forward to the rest of our lives together....

Cheap date..

Josh and I rarely find the time or the funds to go out on dates, but we decided that having a "date night" needs to be a priority for us. A light-hearted night.. no discussing finances or school, or any stresses that we discuss on a daily basis.. just a night to enjoy each others company. So, we went on our first date of the new year last night! We decided that we'd go see a movie at the Gem theater, which is like 2 miles from our house.. plus movies before 6pm are $3 and after 6pm they are $5.. I must say, who can pass up a $6 date? So, we went an saw the 4:30pm showng of Marley and Me, of course I cried.. and Josh was a little choked-up.. it was a great movie! After our cheap movie we came home and made a frozen pizza for dinner and relaxed on the couch together, which was special. Usually one of us in the chair and the other is stretched out on the couch, so seeing as it was a date night, we made a point to sit together. The rest of the evening we just watched t.v. and relaxed.. Josh went to bed early.. while I stayed up and enjoyed the quiet comfort of our home. What a wonderful way to spend the end of your day... with the one you love.
