Newlyweds!

A few weeks ago, someone asked me what the most surprising thing was about marriage. First of all, I love when people ask REAL, genuine, personal, raw questions like that-questions that force introspection and questions that, hopefully, turn your gaze towards Jesus.

The most surprising thing about marriage, from what I have learned in the first six-weeks, anyway, is how deeper my understanding of God's love for us is. As much as I love Jimmy, and would do anything for him to be happy, let alone for him to spend eternity in Heaven, I know that love does not even BEGIN to compare to the Holy, perfectly righteous love that God showed us when He came to earth for our salvation. (John 15:12-13, This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.)

We are all settled in our new apartment! I almost feel like a real Dallasite. We have been to two Rangers games so far. My parents came to visit on the 4th of July for Kaboomtown, and my sister came this weekend and we went to a live jazz show a block away from our apartment! Last weekend we went home for the weekend to celebrate the birthdays in Jimmy's family! Happy Birthday Josh, Mr.G! (AND Erin and Patrick). We went to eat at Fogo de Chao! I don't think I've ever had so much food in one sitting in my life! We had a great time!

Jimmy and my Dad built shelves to go over our new washer!

 

These are not actually crooked, my camera just made them look that way.

Waiting out the rain on the 4th with my family!

Dinner at Fogo de Chao!

We've been having fun learning to cook for each other!! Thank you Giada and Rachael Ray for recipes like this one!
