So where do I begin?! The last blog I wrote was about our honeymoon, oh how I wish I was blogging about another trip to that wonderful place! I'd love to say that a lot has happened since we got married but it's been pretty dull around here! One minor change, ok maybe it's not so minor, is that Eric is no longer working in Fresno and gone all week. He is now working locally which means he is home every night! This has it's pros and cons, more pros of course ;). I'll start with the cons....
- The mess!! Ok, I admit, I am NOT, by any means, a clean freak. I make messes and those messes tend to stay around for a few days. But that's MY mess! Now you throw a man's stinky shoes, candy wrappers, beer cans, mail, and clothes into the mix and I tell you what!
- Sharing the TV. I have several shows that I enjoy and feel that I MUST watch. Well, apparently, so does Eric! Many of them we can agree on, like Modern Family and Revenge. But the disagreement starts when General Hospital or the Simpsons is on!
- The bathroom mess! Yes, this should be included in the previous mess section, however, I feel that this one deserves it's own space! Every day, numerous times a day, I battle the MANY contact lens cases and solution bottles! I have been VERY good about always putting my things away, like make up and such, but this man just can't seem to grasp the concept. It doesn't help that he isn't even 1/2 awake while hes getting ready for work.
- I don't get anything done. When he was gone during the week I would hang out with friends, clean the house, work out, study, and so much more. Now, all I ever want to do is lay on the couch with him! All the other duties of life can be put off right?!
- Lots of time together! This one is a hard one because we now get to see each other every day, which is awesome! But when he was working out of town we made it a point to have special quality time together when he was home. Fires in the backyard, camping, dinner, dancing in the kitchen.....now its almost like all the days are the same. I'm not saying that we don't have our 'date nights" because we do! In fact we are very spoiled with the fact that we can go out to nice dinners or out for drinks without a care, but it's not a "I can't wait to see you Friday so we can catch up and kiss and hug!" HAHA! Again, this one is a pro because I honestly love being able to come home to him every evening!
- Home cooked dinner! When he was gone I would eat Taco Bell, Chinese, or maybe a piece of chicken. If I wanted a home cooked meal I had to go to my parents house. Now, Eric cooks dinner almost every night!!! This is a girls dream! I can't even remember the last time I cooked dinner! (Ok that's really bad! I need to up my wifey skills!)
- Always having someone to talk to. I love being able to talk to him everyday about random stuff. We aren't phone people so when he was gone we would only text simple things. Now, I don't have to wait for the weekend and hope I remember what it was I wanted to tell him!
- Warmth. The heater just isn't enough!
- Hugs and Kisses anytime I want!
Other changes? Well....I don't think I ever mentioned our newest addition to the Kahler family (you loose one, you gain one!) Shortly after Eric and I got married my sister in law gave birth to our beautiful niece Aubrey. I wish I was better at spending more time with her! I love to hear her laugh and see her smile! It's pretty crazy to see my brother as a father (whoa...even weird to type that!). It's so cute to see his loving side (that doesn't come out very easily or often!). He is a great daddy and Jacci is a great mommy! Aubrey is very lucky and very loved!!
What else.....Well we have started house hunting! That's exciting! However, God has been really testing my patience when it come to this...among other things. I know three months and 5 offers isn't much but if you know me then you know that I am very impatient! But I believe fully that God knows what is best for us and we just have to be patient and trust in Him. This is a very exciting time in our lives and we want to enjoy it!
I have also started my last class needed to apply for the nursing program at Delta. Physiology is said to be the most challenging of the sciences but I'm actually very excited and eager to learn about how our bodies work. I can't believe in 4 short months I will be able to apply for the program, that's if God doesn't mess with my grand plan! HAHA! Fact is, you never know what will happen. I may struggle in this class and have to retake it, which would post pone my application by another 6 months or so. BUT I'm hoping that God and I have the same plan this time around!
I think that covers our oh-so boring life! I hope I can keep up with this blog, but I also hope that life throws some interesting events at me so I don't bore my few readers with nothing-ness! I'd like to leave you with my favorite Bible verse....
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
