I feel like I've allowed so much time to pass on moments & situations that were probably so relevant at one time, that expressing the fact that they happened in the first place is almost pointless. That, or I'm too lazy to list them all. Oh no.
It was all at once a very pleasant, fun, & uncertain Summer for me. China was wonderful & new. The engagement was icing on the cake. Moving in together was something planned, but, as most of us come to discover, a learning experience for the both of us. The one thing that thankfully we both know for certain, is that we love each other enough to make it through whatever God decides we need to go through. It makes us stronger. Cheesy? You bet. 1000% true? Yup.
Her parents visited, we got married, met some more in-laws that I'm happy to say I have, had a great time with them here, then her best friend visited, had a great time with her here, & then there was the brief-but-oh-so-nerve-wracking period of not knowing if or when I'd be employed again anytime soon. That was fun. God answered my prayers, and I got the phonecall to come back to work a whole month earlier than I did last year. Yessss.
There were & are other things taking place that intertwine with all of this. I think there's always those unspoken, personal things that go on in our lives. Mine is family related. Oh, so is yours? We'll let that one sit there for now.
We moved a couple of weeks ago. Right across the street. Didn't plan on it, was more of an obligation due to the circumstance. I definitely don't think we were prepared for it. Between having to pay a months rent/security/broker fee and not even having my first paycheck of the season yet, I know we weren't prepared for it. But, with a little faith & some help from our loved ones, we pulled through.
Currently, its November, I'm on my way to a closing shift, and that's about the size of it. I don't really know if this one really had a point. Maybe the purpose of it is to reflect on what life on earth is: mostly a series of unexpected events that we do our best to make the most out of. That's what it is for me.
