Whew! The wedding was a complete success!! All the planning, the prepping, the stress, the tears, the worry, the nightmares... all for a complete victory!! The night was beautiful, the ceremony was precious,
Scott and I were legally joined in holy matrimony on November 7th, 2008. And we couldn't be happier. Our life together in just beginning, and with that said...
Scott is changing careers.
Drywall used to be lucrative in central Oregon. A year and a half ago, Scott was easily bringing in over $10,000 a month on average. I don't think he knew how to spend the money fast enough... But now, the downturn in the housing and commercial market has left him nearly penniless. He is forced to reevaluate himself, his career choice, and the best decision for his family.
That said, we have been offered a great opportunity from friends. One that will take us in a new direction, one that will prove to provide Scott with financial security, one that will mean a relocation of our household...
Seven years ago, I was in a marriage that moved me from my country town of Klamath Falls to Portland. I feared the move, and loathed my husband for taking me away from my family. But in the end, that move proved to be the best thing for me: my unhealthy marriage ended and my career excelled.
Now, so many years later, and so many mature points later, I am ready to go where ever God leads us. I have found and married my soul mate, and I will follow him into debt, into stress, into light, into love. Trusting in God to lead our family is hard sometimes, but the realization that through God, everything and anything is possible.
I can't tell you how many times I have lost focus in my life. Too many times to count. It's just too damn easy to get caught up in work, in life, in stress, in love to remember WHO is in charge.
It is so important to trust God. Maybe that's why I'm blogging this subject right now. Because I am reminding myself that...
... without Him, everything else is just... well, ordinary. And scary.
