What I've Been Learning Lately.

[Mike and I don't have to spend ALL of our time together.]

Now that we're married, every night is date night. 

Which is amazing, but sometimes we have different ideas on what we should do. 

Last night, I really wanted to watch Pretty Little Liars (I know, I know... but its an addiction) 

And Mike really wanted to play video games. 

We only have one TV. 

So I decided to be nice, and let my hubby play his games while I went to shower. 

Then I decided that I would sit in my room and watch pretty little liars on my laptop. 

It was actually a pretty good evening. 

Eventually Mike came to find me, I turned off my show, and we spent some time together.

[Work before play]

Something my dad would ALWAYS tell us girls on saturdays, when all we wanted to do was go and play with our friends, or play on the computer, or watch TV. 

I hated that rule, and always seemed to break it, which ended up being worse for me.

I was always the last one left cleaning the house while everyone else was doing something they wanted to do. 

It always took me so long because I would get distracted.

Now, the same thing is happening. 

My house is a mess, and instead of cleaning it, and doing any sort of house work right now, I am blogging.

[ALWAYS make time for Jesus]

Sometimes it can be hard, especially when I'm super busy. 

Mike and I bought a devotional book, intending to read it every night.

Well you can guess how we've been doing with that... not very well.

I also have a devotional book that I like to read in the morning, but often mornings are so quick that I find I don't have time.

That's something that needs to stop for me, running out of time for Jesus.

I have no excuse for not spending time with Him.

This is Mike & I exactly a year ago today. 

Who knew in a year we'd be married and living in a house together.

Well, God knew :)
