I am an Army wife now. Never in my wildest dreams did I EVER imagine that I would marry a man in the Army. It just wasn't the life I had pictured for myself. However, God did.
We have been married for a mere two months now and have a lot of hardships headed our way, but I am so very thankful. Thankful that I married a man who followed God's plan instead of running the other way. Thankful that I married a man who pursued the girl he loved despite leaving for the Army in TEN days. Thankful that I married a man who is showing me what it is like to live a simple life full of love. I am not privileged to buy my favorite clothes from Anthro or my Chanel make-up anymore. I do love and miss those things… but oh how fleeting they are! I miss my family and my friends dearly, but how lovely it is to be in this new city with my husband, just the two of us, making our own way in our new and simple lives together.
So it is the simple things in life that truly make me happy. It is God's grace. Being with my sweet, loving husband. Pumpkins in the fall. Getting a card from a friend just because. The crackling warmth of a fire. The laughter of my nephew. S'mores. Cool, crisp weather. Back scratches. Good music. Picnics. Candles. Sunflower fields. Photographs. The smell of peonies. Memories.
I am definitely not a writer, nor a poet, nor a cook, nor a photographer, nor a theologian, nor a expert on anything really. I am just here having fun... Hope you ENJOY!
