Week Four.

Okay, so I've been married four weeks now.

Yes. Four weeks.

Anyways,

To start out, we thought this past Sunday was Father's Day, and it wasn't.

We didn't figure that out until we got to church - late, of course.

For anyone else who's confused like us...apparently it's the 3rd Sunday of June.

Just a heads up.

Chris had three interviews this week. 

The rest of the week was a normal newlywed week. It consisted of cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, and all that other stuff.

One new thing - I FINALLY got my guitar out and sat down and sang. But, in the midst of that, I got interrupted because Chris turned the tv way up while I was playing, and needless to say, I got mad.

The cat has had an obscene amount of energy all week, and it seems like she seriously never wants to stop playing fetch. Never. She's trying to play with me right now, actually.

In other news, I finally officially changed my last name to Whitehead this week.

I only spent about TWO HOURS in the social security office.

So, that concludes week 4. Here's to week number 5!

1 Chronicles 16:9.

Day 20.

Look at me!

Blogging two days in a row!

Here's what's happening in day 20 of married life:

I woke up at 2:45 this afternoon. Yes....2:45. I have no idea why.

I remembered one of the weirdest dreams of my life. My husband turned into a dragon at night and it was weird. I went back to visit college and didn't know anyone because I was old.

We FINALLY had a bedspread picked out, and I FINALLY put it on today!

It looks great. And of course - it is pink.

 

My cat thought we were playing some cat game when I was trying to make the bed,

so she kept attacking the sheets and hiding underneath them.

It made making the bed significantly more difficult, but she was so cute that there

was absolutely no way I could even be mad.

For now, I'm just waiting on my husband to get back from work, and I'm probably

going to do a load of laundry and finish the dishes. Who knew I could ever

be so domestic?

That's it for today.

My First Update as a Newlywed.

Yep.

I am updating for the first time as a married woman.

My husband and I are watching the Mavs game right now, and I need something to

do while I watch because I get nervous!

Here are 10 things I've learned from being a Newlywed for almost 3 weeks:

1) Men enjoy leaving the toilet seat up.

2) Moving in is extremely overwhelming.

3) That my husband is totally in to Reggae music. I never knew before.

4) .....How to spell Reggae.

5) There are ALWAYS dishes that need to be done.

6) The more I want kids, the more Chris does not.

7) There is a bill for absolutely everything. Even having a dumpster and having a pet.

8) I have a ton of shoes. A ton.

9) There are things you assume your husband knows about you after almost 4 years of dating, but for some reason, unbeknownst to you, he does not. Like your favorite band - Journey.

10) I love my husband and I love being married.

We'll see what comes along with the next 3 weeks.

In the meantime, go Mavs!

And maybe someday we will finish moving in and setting up our apartment.

Someday.

"Hindsight is always 20/20. That's what they taught me in optometry school."

Hebrews 9:28..

Emotional.

I didn't really know what else to title this post, because all I have been lately is emotional.

...really weirdly emotional and dramatic - about everything.

So, I figured it fit well.

I just wanted to reflect on how great God is and how small I am.

This is one of those moments where I realize how insignificant everything is in relation to God's will and perfect everything.

It's when I remember that I constantly fail and nothing in me is good except for the Holy Spirit Himself.

I'm constantly being humbled by my inferiority.

This is also one of those times when I remember that for whatever crazy reason, none of this even matters, and God still loves and accepts me anyways.

 

Whenever I hear someone question whether or not God is real or loving, I look at my life, and I know.....without a doubt....that He is so much more than real and so overwhelmingly loving.

(I usually put a verse reference or quote a verse here, but I can't pick one right now)

Playing fetch.

I'm just playing fetch with my cat.

Yes.....my cat plays fetch.

And it's her absolute favorite thing to do in the whole world.

I think clawing at the carpet is a close second, though.

I just figured I would blog while Roxie and I hang out.

We typically like to watch The Nanny and play fetch late at night.

She also likes to help me with wedding planning sometimes.

So, Chris and I have been apartment hunting all week.

The only thing more overwhelming than this is trying

to find the perfect dress at Forever 21. Seriously.

Well.....and chemistry.

Anyways,

I wanted to blog about my spring break,

which has consisted of even more wedding planning

and the apartment searching that I previously explained.

I feel like we got a lot done this week, and that's a very great thing.

I have my first shower tomorrow, and I'm pretty psyched about it.

I'm getting married in 56 days.

56 days!

Well....I'm off to play fetch with Rox again.

John 3:30.

Justin Bieber.

Blogging again.

Roxie has been my roommate here at home for the weekend and she is crazy.

She seriously won't quit chewing on my toes.

I picked up my wedding dress today and am ecstatic.

I had to convince myself to take it off.

I really love it a lot.

I have even more wedding stuff to do tomorrow and I am excited.

I love wedding stuff.

Also, pretty much everyone BUT me has gotten to see the Justin Bieber movie and I am dying.

I just want to see it. So. Bad.

I have my second chemistry test on Tuesday.

I am dying. I am DYING!

Also, you know that feeling you get when you feel completely

overwhelmed because God is so graceful? I have that

feeling right now. I love it. I don't get it, but I love it.

The cable is out here at mom's house, so I can't watch any of

the stuff she has recorded.

Instead, I have watched Valentine's Day three whole times now.

It's funny because I brought P90X home with me so I could be

productive and work out over the weekend, but I haven't used it.

It is just sitting here beside me, making me feel guilty.

That's all for today.

Romans 3:23-24.

Yes.

What have I been doing lately?

Wedding planning.

Wedding planning.

Wedding planning.

Classes. And class work.

Wedding planning.

Wedding planning.

Cru Knights stuff.

Wedding planning.

Revival Steering Committee stuff.

Wedding planning.

I guess that about sums it up.

Right now I am up taking a break from finishing a project and wedding stuff to watch my 4th consecutive episode of "The Nanny" on Nick@Nite.

It's pretty funny.

Also, The 5 Dollar Foot Long sandwich song from the Subway commercial has been stuck in my head all day long and I have no idea why.

A commercial just came on for Gnomio and Juliet.

Ahh. Now a commercial for chicken!

Now seriously all I want is chicken.

The Nanny is back on.

I guess I'm going to go now.

I hope you have a fantastic day!
