a simple hello -

Today was my 54th day being married. 54th time waking up to his alarm. 54th time making his lunch (give or take a couple selfish mornings where I chose to sleep instead). But it was my first time setting off the smoke alarms while making him dinner. There has to be a first for everything people say. I was asked on Sunday how married life is going (possibly forthe thousandth time). I always smile and say “good”. But this time, I added a bit more on. “I’ve learned that I hate cooking more than I thought and that being married takes an insane amount of patience.” While yes these things are true there is so much fun and beauty that comes along with marriage. 54 days and I’ve only smoked the house once. 54 days and so many smiles, jokes, laughter, and giggles. 54 days and tears, frustrations, anger, and disappointment. 54 days and I’ve seen God shaping my attitude and desires to be more like Him. 54 days and I’m in awe of Christ and dismayed at how poorly I live like him. 54 days and I have no regrets.
