Real Life Super Heroes.




I love being a part of a church where everyone's creative abilities are spent for the Glory of God.
Come on now.
How can watching a group of God fearing men in black suites and sunglasses, dancing to Men in Black not make you want to live your life with an intense mission for Jesus?

Work..

I start work tomorrow.
I am excited.
Jon and I will officially see each other for less than 2 hours after work before we both head off to our evening plans separately. It will be a weird change but I think kind of good for us as sad as that is to say. At this point I feel like I just can't get enough of him. I can't imagine what being away from him for 9 hours a day is going to do to that. Regardless, I can only handle this vacation feel for so long. I need to be productive. I need to wake up before 9 am. I need to go to bed before midnight. I need to be investing into lives other than Jon and mine. And lets be honest, I need to be making money.
And a girl I will be working with and I are already friends.
That's really comforting.
And my house is on her way to work.
So that will be such a blessing considering Jon and I are sharing a car.
He was pretty geeked when she was very persistent in being able to pick me up tomorrow.
He doesn't have to be up at 730 am, which is a blessing because I have never got him out of bed before 930 :)
God is really good to us.
Oasis is doing a series called Real Life Superheroes.
Today's message was on Men in Black.
It was real real good stuff about having God's mission in our lives.
Being on a mission is an exhilarating feeling!
Especially when it's real.

Oh it is Love.



Our wedding was so perfect.
Being married is so much fun.
Jesus is so good to us.
Jonathon is the best husband there has ever been.
And I love being his wife.
For almost a month we have been together pretty much 24/7.
And I am dreading going back to work.
When he is gone for a 3 hour rehearsal I miss him so much.
I adore him.

Post it notes.

I am obsessed with post it notes.
There is just something about them.
It's weird.
Tonight as I went to take my birth control I opened up the little packet and inside was a post it note.

On it was scribbled...

"You're going to be the best mom ever....

in 8 years."


I love my husband.

Today.

I love everything about today already.
Over a year ago I met a girl at one of Jon's shows.
She was the girlfriend of the drummer and we hit it off instantly.
We talked all night about how in love we were and how we knew we were going to marry these guys and on and on.
We had so much in common with our pasts and we just became instant friends.
We exchanged phone numbers and I never saw her again.
We talked though.
We had amazing conversations.
She lives over an hour away in good traffic.
But her and her husband are coming out and we are all going out to dinner tonight.
I am just so very excited because I super like her a lot.
And we both married the boys we couldn't stop being giddy over!

Until then I get to work out, go get a physical for my new job, run a few errands and smile a lot.

Provision.

So I applied for a job last Thursday.
I only sent in my resume because Jon and I went over our budget the night before and there is no more time for this enjoying every moment together vacation stuff that I am loving ever so deeply. Well I got the interview Friday, accepted the position 30 minutes after I left. I don't know when I start. Even though everyone tells me I shouldn't get a second job, no one has seen our budget, so I have been looking everyday on craigslist for random part time jobs I could do. I sent my resume to someone today as I sat on Jon's lap and we were both very reluctant. We know that we need the financial help but this extra job would have really limited our time together. Limited time is really not what we're after here. I can barely handle when he has to practice for an hour. I just start to miss hugging him! Weirdo. I know.
Well a couple hours later in a matter of ten minutes he received two phone calls for gig offers. One of which is tonight and let me just say he'll make as much in two hours as Ill make in a full day and a half of work. If my job paid half of what his did we'd have all the time in the world to be cute and married and stuff. But I wouldn't trade in my job for better pay already. There is just something about working with children. Jon said it very well today as we discussed the differences in our jobs. Kids just dont care how tall I am or how my hair looks. They just want to laugh and build towers and learn about the scary but exciting world that surrounds them. And I like laughing, I love building towers and I sure as heck love to teach. This is a random and unorganized blog. But that is kind of how my mind is right now. I am enjoying rain, tea, Isaiah and a feather penned journal and my mind is all over the world. Thinking, praying, wondering, planning and just overjoyed with life. God is so good to us. He has blessed this time so much. I am going to make sloppy joes tonight :) I love to cook. I love being a wife. And I love looseleaf tea!! So much.

Job.

Well I got that job I interviewed for.
Ill be teaching 9-18 month olds :)
Im nervous.
I miss my babies.
A lot.

One.

Zechariah's first birthday party was today.
I wasn't there.

I was fine all day. Honestly, I was pretty much absorbed in my own life trying to ignore the fact.
But I just saw a picture of him.

I haven't seen him in 2 weeks to the day and he looks like a totally different boy.
All grown up.
So handsome.
His eyes captivate me.
His smile is precious beyond words.
I love being his aunt.
And I miss him so deeply.

Being Lazy.

I am not one for being lazy.
I am not one for sleeping in past nine or taking naps.
But it's just so different when you have someone to do it with.
I thought that this week Jon and I were going to do crazy things all of the time and be super adventurous.
Turns out we just sit around.
And I wouldn't change a minute of it.
Granted we go places and do things and it's all fun.
But we just lay together, and it feels good.
I got him out of bed this morning before ten and we did P90X Kempo.
It's pretty much kickboxing and I felt so much freedom working out in a place twice the size of my old apartment while Jon kicked everything in his path because he is so long :) I love him.

The other day we hiked up a mountain and had a nice picnic lunch and read the Bible and prayed together there.
Yesterday we walked to Starbucks and read there.
And today we drove to the classic Cafe Audrey.
I like going to different places to read the Bible together.
It's a fun feel.

Tomorrow Jon and I are taking a test to possibly be census takers. If you never hear about this again it's because we are too dumb and they didn't want to hire us.
At 3:30 tomorrow I have my first interview.
I am nervous.
I am just trusting God to make it very clear where he wants me.

When I do things like send my resume places and search for jobs and clean and stuff while Jon practices and sends out his resume and stuff, I start to miss him. It's weird and silly of me, we're only ten feet away. But I guess after over 2 years of not getting to be in his arms when I want to it gets hard to not be in his arms when he's so close. I wonder if this changes. It's hard to be productive so I hope it does. But at the same time, I really hope it doesn't.

Im obsessed with cooking. I love feeding my husband. It sounds so silly but I just love cooking up yummy meals for us. Who would've thought. Surely not I.

Theres my I haven't blogged in forever quick update. Ill get better about blogging.
