It's been a long time since I blogged, but then there's been a lot going on with moving, getting married, yadda, yadda - but since I blogged 100 days before getting married, I thought it would be appropriate to blog 100 days after getting married. Whew! it's been an adventure for sure. First of all, my wedding day was everything I dreamed it would be. I finally had the wedding I always wanted. It was beautiful...I was so happy...so relaxed...I had just a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life.
So, how is my new life going? In many ways much better than I anticipated. Looking back over the blog entries prior to getting married, reading my concerns, but also remembering the 30 days of prayer (which has continued) for our life - I wonder why I'm amazed that God answered those prayers! Has it been easy? No!... but it hasn't been hard either. The kids have embraced the idea of routine, and order, and a schedule much better than I anticipated. There has been so much improvement in that area. I think they genuinely like knowing we're having dinner together around the dining room table each night. I love being married ... I love knowing there are going to be people at home, and I won't be alone every night. I enjoy running to the front door to greet my husband with a big hug and kiss when he comes home from work. I love hearing the kids tell me all about their day while we're driving home, or fixing dinner.
I'm tired though! Although even that is getting better. Most days I no longer feel as if I'm just going to fall over from exhaustion, but it requires a lot of mental, emotional, as well as physical energy to be a stepmom to these kids. But I love them, and it's really going very well. I praise God for his faithfulness in hearing and answering our prayers... I love that Ron and I pray every night together before going to bed... and I thank all of the many friends and family who have been, and still are in prayer for us and our family. I'm also glad I blogged some of those fears and concerns and can now look back and see the answers which have come our way. Thank you, God...you are so good.
