It's about time.

Well, hello!

It's been a while.
And a lot has happened!

Went on a Hawaiian honeymoon: check.

Visited an emergency clinic via police escort: check.
(not too much for those cops to do on the beaches of Maui)

Moved all my belongings to the other side of the water: check.

Started settling into everyday life: in progress.

There have been so many things I've wanted to write about. Like how it still hasn't quite sunk in that marriage is everyday forever. Or that the colors of the trees in Seattle right now are impossible to look away from. Or that my only time to cook these days is on the weekends, and boy do I take advantage. Or that I love having a husband, and love learning how to be a wife. Or that I keep coming back to 1 Chronicles 28:9-10, "And you, my son Solomon, ACKNOWLEDGE the God of your father, and SERVE him with WHOLEHEARTED devotion and with a WILLING mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you SEEK him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary. Be STRONG and DO the work."

I had in my mind that I'd write up nice, well-com[posed a blogpost about the wedding, then one about the honeymoon, then one about our home and daily life. But then I started learning married life, commuting 3 hours a day, taking a class on insulin pumps for continuing education, and trying to fit exercise and sleep back into my life.

So much for that.

Revised goal: get better at posting short entries about everyday life.

Until then,
Tracey
