We've all been resistant to stepping out in faith. We've all let fear hold us back.
On this blog you'll find real life revelations and stories from an imperfect woman, wife, mother, and friend who lives with a daily desire to experience healing for where I've missed the mark, joy where I've felt lonely, to be fulfilled where I've felt without, and ultimately live the abundant and secure life that Christ has called me to. I want to live fearlessly for my God...trust in Him fully...and do what he's asked me without hesitation . I know I'm not alone and my hope is we can walk together, overcome our strongholds, and embrace a life unafraid as we walk with our Lord.

Broken Washer

Well if you are wondering how married life is going....it is WONDERFUL!! Nic and I are having a blast and it has really been an awesome start. We both work all day and I come home around 4 and wait for him to get home around 6:30 or 7. That would seem like a pretty awesome time for me to just relax and unwind get dinner ready and meet my loving husband at the door. Well....it's not quite that way all the time. I wonder where those few hours go as I come home have a snack, blink my eyes, and find myself RUSHING to get dinner finished haha.

I try to pick up the house everyday and keep it clean and organized but I am not sure if it is me or if most people have this problem but this crazy house seems to never stay clean haha. Nic and I are barely here so I have come to the conclusion that I must be a walking tornado. I am meaning to clean but somehow I make more of a mess and then don't have time to clean it up. Everyday I think to myself, I HAVE GOT TO MAKE A BETTER PLAN! There has to be a secret to keeping a house in order but I have yet to figure it out.

Our house is awesome though. It is definitely small but it is perfect. You can see pictures of it in a past blog. It is super cozy and is just big enough for the two of us, all our stuff, and our sweet dog Piper! Who is getting so big by the way, she is now over 50 pounds :) We said we wouldn't let her get on the couch but somehow every night when Nic and I are snuggled up on the couch she magically appears in our laps. We have yet to figure out how she does it ;)

I have once again found myself in a whirlwind as I have been home since 4 and am now trying to get the house picked up before I leave for church. And today I am almost positive that I broke the washing machine. Atleast, I do not think the smell of burnt rubber and it bouncing right out of the closet is a good sign. Oh the humor of wivey duties :) I know when Nic comes home everyday he's got to think to himself, "what has she been doing all day"...but there is nothing I can do but laugh as I have spend the last 2 hours cleaning things, doing dishes, folding laundry, giving my dog a bath, etc. and the house looks just the same or even worse than it did when I came home!

It is actually pretty funny :) And I enjoy the challenge of figuring this all out. I used to not care when my house got out of sorts and Nic could probably care less too. But there is something special about creating a place that feels like home for your man after he has had a full day of work!

One day I will get it under wraps...or maybe I won't haha...but until then I will continue to laugh at myself...

Love you guys! Pray for my washer!
