The End of Our Wedding...

Well, that's it... it's over. Our wedding is officially over. I unpacked our final wedding gifts today, the china. You'd think that I'd feel special, that I get to stretch my wedding out for 14 months, leaving all kinds of presents to discover that I kinda forgot I received. But, I'm sad about exactly that, my wedding is over :)

At the end of the day, the unpacking of these boxes is kinda like marriage. Your life together starts out like this...

unpacking all these boxes, figuring out how to deal with the mess that you came together as...

you start to find the treasures, put yourselves, your "new" selves together over the year...

and you never quite make it into even rows, perfect in all ways, but you make it work. Even 14 months later, when the wedding ends.

Today...

I woke up at 8:00, to walk into the dining room to my husband telling me it was a day we needed to fast.

I agreed, but turned around and went back to bed because I knew I wasn't going to make it 10 hours without the STRONG temptation to eat. One of those "remove temptation from you" decisions, if you know what I mean.

11:30, I missed a call from ANAD, the company I was interviewing with because I was cleaning the house, but I called back as soon as I saw that I missed the call (I got their voicemail).

1:30, they returned the call and extended a job offer!

We're extremely speechless... all we can say is: Thank. You. Lord.

More next time on what exactly ANAD is and what I'll be doing :) In the meantime, thank you to all of you for your prayers yesterday and this morning. Prayer works!
