I did it again. Months passed, and the blog got completely forgotten.
Until last month's wedding palooza (2 weddings, 2000 miles apart, 24 hrs) where a friend from the opposite side of the country said she missed them. And so, I'm back to outlet my mind's wanderings and update my out of town friends and family on what our lives look like these days.
For starters, pretty exciting news: Joseph has a full time job!! We got the offer this week and are thrilled. We will be in Bellevue, WA. We love our church here, New Grace, and are making friends and getting settled. Joseph will start the beginning of October after we have a few weeks of deliciously unhurried time with our family and friends in Oregon.
After weeks of intense searching, we have found an apartment. After living in Indiana, the prices here were a SHOCKER. But we finally found a place with some decent square footage and a price we could handle (without a nasty commute-Bonus!). I am so looking forward to FINALLY using all the wonderful gifts we got for our wedding! It's going to be a blast setting up house.
I am working as a full time Health Coach, helping people lose and maintain their weight. I love being able to really help, give good advice, and encourage. My clients are amazing, losing 2-5 lbs a week, and encouraging me just as much, if not more, than I am them. I get to "bear up with one another" every day and wouldn't have it any other way.
We celebrated our 1 year anniversary this month. Where did the time go?! We stayed close to home (after 4 straight weekends of travel) with a beautiful hike, delicious dinner out, romantic picnic in the park, and a glass of wine while watching and crying (It is me after all) through our wedding video. Pure perfection. I am so blessed to be 12 months into our honeymoon :)
I'll try to be more involved here, but with life so full and vibrant, it can get a little hard. Bear with me :)
