Mid august already?

I haven't written in a while but I'm hoping the new app on my phone will help me keep up with it!

Almost two months into being married and still loving it. :) So many people warn of the tough times in marriage and how it's so much work...I'm thankful for the one or two that got exited and said it's worth it and it is wonderful and rewarding - because I enjoy this more without as much fear of the future. God is growing us and teaching us so many things.

We wanted to read the bible together. That worked really well on the honeymoon when most days we'd just lie around and sleep in til noon, but with both of us working and my work schedule so different throughout the week, it's been pretty tough. I've been reading Psalms and Proverbs on my bible app every day and yesterday Andrew said he was jealous that I would read the bible and not do it with him...so we started a plan on our phones and read last night and this morning. :) It's all a growing-and-finding-what-works-for-you process.

This week I am working 63 hours. Normally I work 34. So I almost doubled my time with three extra shifts. My first overnight! I worked my normal Tuesday evening shift from 4-12 but then also worked the 12-9:30am shift. Kelly doesn't like mornings and I've heard rough stories about trying to get her out the door...but I bribed her with starbucks mocha and we had a great morning. :) So Andrew and I survived our first night apart since the wedding. He was so great to let me do that. My first (though hopefully not too often) overnight and he let me take the car and he stayed home so I could do the job I am blessed with and enjoy.

I guess another story for this week is the fact that we only have one car right now. Normally we try to carpool into SLO anyway because we don't like having to drive 20 miles to work (we were spoiled by living in SLO so long where everything is within five miles), but this past Sunday we were driving up to Paso with some friends (Andrews old roommates actually) for another friends wedding, and...well, long story short - sunset honda said we need several things done involving the ac...and they asked more than we thought they should so we're gonna take it to a friends mechanic someone this weekend...I think.

What else? Well, amazing blessings from God involving Andrews business, but this'll just be the teaser for next time cause Andrew is finally coming to bed.
