The struggle of homesickness has begun, but God is good and provided distractions for me this week. First off, I have made an incredible new friend, Christy. We have hung out on several occasions prior to my writing this, but the truth is, I wish I had met this girl years ago! She and I have become fast friends, and I seriously do not know what I would do without our friendship. I have also made a great friend and mentor in one of my co-workers. She is quite a bit older than me, but has welcomed me into her family, and carted me all the way to Lexington this weekend to see a football game!
Work has been going well for Will and me, but I am considering getting a second job so I can have something to keep me busy while Will works his late nights. School is getting a little stressful, but I am trying to do my part and find quiet activities while Will does homework, and I love helping him go through his Greek flashcards before quizzes. Makes me feel like I'm contributing at least a little :)
I spent most of the weekend cleaning, and putting up a few Fall decorations. I'm already talking Christmas trees with Will, but he just doesn't seem to be as excited as me :( How do you get a boy into seasonal decorating? hmfp.
Not much else is new with us. As far as I can tell we are both still happy we got married ;) Everyday brings different struggles, but at the end of that day we have each other, and that makes it all okay. As I said before this week has been kind of hard on me emotionally. I've really been homesick for the first time, and that has filtered into other areas of my life that I battle with from time to time. Will really comes through for me in those times and I just want Mr. Bill and Mrs. Nebbie to know the kind of man they raised by telling this story: Thursday night I was really down, and allowed my loneliness to fuel negativity about myself. After a good cry, and lots of hugs, I woke up Friday morning to this message written on our bathroom mirror for me to read - I did something good today. Will loves me, but more importantly God loves me, and He made me beautiful. I love this man . . . so much. He is everything to me.
