In sickness and in health

For the past five days I've had a horrible ear infection. I haven't had one in years and had forgotten how awful they are. Thankfully my wonderful husband has been taking very good care of me. He makes me coffee and brings it to me in bed and has been helping out with the chores.
I'm truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband. He loves me and takes care of me even when I'm not sick. It's very sad to hear of marriages where neither the husband or the wife care for their spouse when they're sick. I've heard the comment made that "it's just because you're still newlyweds." To me that is no excuse for laziness in your marriage. Newlyweds or not, every husband and wife have a responsibility to each other and no length of time changes that.

In our church, the last few weeks have brought all the adult Sunday school classes together for a series of lessons on marriage. The lessons focus on various aspects of marriage. They have been very helpful. Even though Andy and I haven't even been married a year, there are a lot of trials that can come to a new marriage. We have definitely seen our share of trials in the last 10 months, but thankfully the Lord has been there through them all and ultimately every trial has brought us closer to God and to each other.

I'm so thankful that God blessed me with such a wonderful man. He truly is more than I ever thought I would have in a husband. God truly does bless. I know I have some readers who aren't married, and my advise for you is to be patient. The perfect man or woman for you is out there and the Lord will bring him or her in His time. As most of my friends and family will attest to, patience has never been one of my virtues, but I'm so glad that I waited for the perfect one God had for me. There is such a peace in knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are with the one God created for you. Marriage is wonderful and truly worth the wait!!!

I'm a terrible blogger!

Wow! I have had my blog for over a year now and this is only my sixth post! Writing has never been my thing. I can do it but it just doesn't come natural to me. I'm going to try to do better! :)

I guess part of the reason I don't blog much is that nothing really new and exciting has happened lately. Andy still hasn't found a job. He has an interview on monday with a tech company and a possible job opportunity back with AT&T. Either job would be great for him. He would much prefer to be a technician than stuck behind a desk all day.

As for me, I'm still happy staying home and taking care of my husband and dogs. I'm planning on returning to school in September. I'm in the process of filling out financial papers and looking through class schedules. I'm really excited about going back!

I've also been involved with a friend of ours political campaign. Paul Curtman is running for State Rep in our district. I've been organizing fundraisers and political events for him. The Lord is really opening a lot of doors for him in this election. It definitely has been and will continue to be a fight all the way to November. If you are interested in checking Paul out you can go to his website at www.paulcurtman.com
He has also written a book called Don't tread on me which you can purchase on his website. All proceeds and donations go to help Paul's campaign. He can use all help he can get. This country is great need of people with high moral character and Christian standards like Paul.

Well I guess that"s all for now. Hopefully you all will start hearing from me more often! :)
