Some people come into our lives,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never the same.

Andrew & I have been blessed with a phenomenal support system of family, friends & a very welcoming church community. While we adjust to our new life in BC, we have been very thankful to our loved ones who have been there with us every step of the way, supporting us with their prayers & encouragement. In response we would like to say to you: THANK YOU! Thank you for being patient with us as we settle. Thank you for putting on a happy face, even though you may be missing us. Thank you for understanding that while we adjust, it may take us some time before we call you :| We may seem a little wrapped up in our own lives right now, but we still really want to hear how YOU are doing & what is new in your life :)
The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.

This week has been the first "normal" week in over a month. Andrew is in school full-time, with 6 courses and more than enough homework. I started my job with Scott Construction this week & for the first time I'm commuting....eiii :| We make our lunches in the morning & we finally get to eat dinner together every night for the first time since we've been married. Gracepoint Church has been a fantastic connection point for us, meeting new friends & providing us endless ways to get involved. God has put an amazing couple into our lives that is expecting their first child in 2 months and we're very excited to start spending more time with them. And this weekend is going to be a fun experience...Andrew's school goes on a retreat with all first years and they've invited me to come as well so we're getting pretty stoked about that.
With all the change that has taken place in the last month, this taste of normalcy has really been what I've been craving. I know that routine can be a dangerous comfort that keeps us from growing, but every so often I believe it is required, to get your feet planted and prepare for the next challenge. I've never been one for change; I would be happy to find what works well for me and stick with it. But, God had much more in store for me, and He brought Andrew into my life...a man that is as interested in routine as a teenager is in his parent's personal life. Our opposite styles have both been beneficial in this move & every time I'm down, I count on Andrew's optimism to make me smile. I am one blessed woman :)
