P.S this happened
It is more than I ever expected.
It is somewhat of a roller coaster of emotions: Being in love with Ace, yet missing my parents; the excitement of living at a University campus, yet missing my hometown (and friends)!
And if you know me, you know I don't like roller coasters!
I know people want to hear about the wedding, and let me tell you-it was awesome!!!!! But, that is only one day of our lives (although quite a day!), and today I want to share about what comes after the wedding day- marriage. I will share about the wedding day, but that will be for another day!
Even tough Ace and I have been married for 2.5 months, we have only been living in our apartment (at the University) for the last two weeks. Let me tell you- I love it!!! I love having our own place to call home (although both of our parents' houses will always be home) and living with my best friend in the whole wide world. I love falling asleep in his arms and waking up next to him every morning.
I love the fact that there is a fitness center within walking distance of our apartment and that the walk is always so pretty!! This campus is awesome! Yet, because of Ace's masters program, we do spend quite some time apart. Which leads me to the loneliness of living at a University campus and not being a student.
I think that has been the toughest transition, but it has definitely taught me a lot about myself. First off, meeting people (aside for Ace's friends) has become a challenge because there really aren't many opportunities to do so. When I do meet someone, they automatically assume that, because I'm around, I must be a student. Regardless, I've taken it upon myself to greet every person I see during the day! And 98% of the time, I get a greeting back :)
It has also been difficult because we have been coming back to our hometown/home church every weekend (I want to continue to serve at the high school ministry until the end of this school year), so there isn't too much time for us to hang out with people during the weekends (or during the week).

Regardless, the joy and goodness far outweighs anything mentioned above; we are really enjoying this season of our lives. The Lord has been too good to us. And I love having sooo many neighbors hehe
He has continuously reminded me that He is present in our lives and marriage. He has blessed us tremendously through all of our friends and family: our home is fully furnished thanks to them! (and thans to some other random people) There are some days in which I feel so overwhelmed by His goodness that I can't help but keep certain songs on repeat (sorry neighbors!!).
Until next time,
be blessed
P.S. This happened last week! (yup! that's milk all over our coffee station and Ace's guitar case.. woop!) I think I'll leave the coffee making to Ace! He is quite the cappuccino crafter!
