Yesterday, Whitney posted about things she wished she had known before she got married. One of those things was how to register strategically. I definitely did not have everything figured out before my wedding, but one thing that went very smoothly for me was planning and registering for wedding gifts. Today I'm sharing a few… Continue reading Wedding Registry Tips

4 Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Got Married {and one thing I’m glad I did}
1. Choose housing wisely. Storage space, room to entertain and most of all privacy are three things we didn't have in our first home. We opted to stay in the one-bedroom apartment that I acquired before we met. The only reason we did so was the price - it was very affordable. However, the apartment was a… Continue reading 4 Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Got Married {and one thing I’m glad I did}
Valentines Day Date At Home
You don't have to leave home to celebrate a special occasion like Valentines Day. Having a date night at home can be just as romantic - maybe even more romantic - as a date night on the town. Last weekend Paul and I chose to celebrate Valentines Day with a meal at home, and I'm… Continue reading Valentines Day Date At Home
How to Pick Your Wedding Dress
When I entered into the process of wedding planning almost 2 years ago, I was overwhelmed by all the decisions I had to make. Flowers, food, bridal party, music, venue, the list went on and on. One decision though was an easy one for me and, surprisingly, it was choosing my wedding dress. I found… Continue reading How to Pick Your Wedding Dress

Is it just me, or do you have to work hard to keep your conversations with your spouse fresh and new? It is so easy to slip into the usual events of the day and not go any farther than that.

Blessed Is She Who Believed
Every year in December I read the Christmas story from Luke's gospel. It's a very familiar story - most of the words have been committed to memory since I was a little girl. Still, every year I expect to find something new in the story that touches my heart. God's Word is always fresh -… Continue reading Blessed Is She Who Believed
Our Christmas Wedding
Today is our fourth anniversary! Instead of a sappy post detailing how crazy I am about my husband (because I could totally write one of those), I thought I'd share a few pictures from our Christmas wedding. Enjoy! Thanks for reliving this day with me! Married life is the best!
Teach People How To Treat Your Husband
I think Dr. Phil is credited with saying, "you...teach people to treat you with dignity and respect...you shape others' behavior when you teach them what they can get away with and what they cannot." (source) I don't agree with that - the Bible teaches a much different approach to behavior. But that's not the point of… Continue reading Teach People How To Treat Your Husband
