Time for Breakfast

This weekend we came home to Mobile. We are having such a wonderful weekend. Mrs. Patricia, Chris's mom, cooked us pancakes this morning and we got to have breakfast as a family. I have really missed being able to wake up with Chris and have breakfast. Because of our conflicting schedules, most days he wakes up and leaves for PT and by the time he gets back I am leaving for school. We pretty much high five each other and head out the door. Yesterday I did not have to go to work so early and we were actually able to sit and talk and have breakfast together. In my family, Saturday mornings were always pancake days. We had pancakes most Saturdays that I can remember - even slumber party mornings. Chris's family also stil has breakfast together most Saturdays and Sundays. So, breakfast is a valuable meal time for us. As I get older, I am beginning to see why it is so important and not just for replenishing your body. It was refreshing to be able to talk to each other before anything happened in our day. So - to our parents, if you are reading this, thank you for making breakfast a meaningful meal for us. We're trying to continue that in our family now. Have a good weekend and if you have time, have breakfast with someone!

I am trying to learn a little bit about blogging. Because of either the Army or the potential job offers Chris gets, we will be moving around alot. So, I thought it would be a good idea to learn how to do this so our family and friends can keep up with us. (Not that I mean don't call us - I just mean the everyday things). Let's see, the picture that I posted is from the military ball. It was in February and I must say that it was a relief to be able to take a break from interning and have some fun. If you don't already know, I am doing my teaching internship and Chris is finishing his last semester. He will graduate on May 10. Sadly, I won't be graduating until August. Oh well!
Let's see...what else is new? We are finally getting some of our things moved into our apartment from the wedding. We don't have everything yet because we are moving somewhere bigger in August. Depending on the job situation...we aren't exactly sure where but praise the Lord, we do have a number of options floating around. So, as soon as we make a decision...I'm sure you will find out because we will be so excited to actually have a plan.
I guess that's about all that is going on right now. Keep us in your prayers. After all, we are newlyweds, almost new graduates, joining the work force, and we've got a long road ahead of us.

So, we've been married 3 months TOMORROW

This is one of my favorite pictures from the wedding. Chris and I look so happy and the people around us are all smiling and celebrating with us. It is a great memory.
