Today marks four months of marriage to my wonderful husband... though I'm not sure the past four months have been all that wonderful. I love being married... don't get me wrong... but the past four months may have just been the hardest of my life. Here's a list of some of the things that Garrett and I have gone through these past few months both good and bad... Since October 11:
1.) We have been to Florida on an awesome Honeymoon.
2.) Garrett was laid off from a job in Campbellsville... where I then gave my two weeks notice.
3.) We said good-bye to friends that we miss more than anything.
4.) We moved into a nice new home... which I'm still not convinced we can afford.
5.) We made it through the holidays... buying gifts for love ones on a very low budget... but we still made it!
6.) We experienced our first married birthdays.
7.) We (along with others) survived ice storm '09... Note: We still have no power at our own house and it is by the generosity of his grandparents I am able to write this!
8.) We helped his parents gut their house and move everything out because of a busted water pipe...
9.) Through all of this I have learned a lot about how all Gilkey's are...
10.) We have done all of these things and more while being unemployed.
I'm hoping the next eight months will bring everything full circle. I have no clue what God has in store for us in the coming months but I'm hoping and praying that we will see the light at the end of the tunnel... I'll keep you updated!
