It's Been a While...So Here's What's New

I really thought when the holidays were over and things slowed down at my job that I'd be able to start blogging more. WRONG! I also figured there hasn't been anything super exciting going on in my life so why would anyone want to read about it. So here's what is new with me...

Quade and I are doing wonderful! We have officially completely paid off our 2nd anniversary cruise we will be going on June 9th to Key West and the Bahamas!! He even make a special reservation for our anniversary night in the steakhouse! We have been needing a vacation  for a long time now so I am very excited!!

We have now joined the church where I work after just "visiting" for over a year so that was an exciting step for us. Growing up, I was used to going to Sunday school first and the worship service was after, but now we've switched. We fell in love with the 2nd hour Sunday school class for Nearly wed/Newlywed couples which meant going to the Contemporary service rather than the Traditional. It's been an adjustment but a good one! Our Sunday school class is studying Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend's book Boundaries in Marriage and it has made such a difference in our marriage already!! It really helps being able to talk about the readings each week with our 3 teachers (we're the only couple as of recently sadly) and getting their perspective; Especially since we do not have close friends that live near us anymore. :(
 


I STRONGLY recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about marriage, newly married or married for many years!!

Well that's all for now! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Day 28: Books

Before I get started on today's blog challenge, I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers and encouragement about my job interview yesterday! I have a really great feeling about it and they told me that they should have a decision by the end of the week. So hopefully I'll have good news for the wrap up to the blog challenge!!


Day 28: Books

I mainly have favorite authors instead of favorite books. I do have a few favorite books though. :)




Yes, maybe a little cheesy but truthfully it is my favorite book :)





I did fall into the Twilight trap like many did and I will probably always want to keep these in my library


My favorite author would have to be Lori Wick. I grew up reading her Christian fiction romance novels starting in about 4th grade and I have read almost all her books. I would strongly recommend you check her out if you haven't already. Here's some of my favorites of hers.


  



A book that I would recommend more than anything is this one...



Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers is one of the greatest books about true love and the power of repentance and forgiveness. This book can get very deep, but I think everyone should read it!
