March Madness

     There is always a buzz in the air come March. It's like the world is waking up from the cold winter. Spring is in the air. The nights are still crisp but the earth is bursting with life. It fills my heart and soul with joy. There is so much peace in knowing that no matter how rough the winter was new life will begin again. I have never been a huge fan of spring until I realized its correlation to our own lives. It is God's yearly reminder that he will once again rejuvenate our souls after hard, cold and dark seasons. It's a beautiful thing.
    Jordan and I sit patiently (and some times not so patiently) waiting for our next calling. It feels as though the world is buzzing on and we sit and only wait. The only thing we can do right now is trust that the right door will open at the right time. We dream and daydream too, of our motor home hoping that one day we can embark on that journey, There is so much to see and time seems to be moving way too fast. We are anxious and excited as we finally have the money saved up to make our purchase. Hopefully we can find just the right one. A home on wheels. But as I said we only wait. It's been a good, weird, easy and hard transition back home. We definitely have our ups and downs but overall cannot be more grateful. the time that we have spent with our parents, siblings, niece, and nephews has been incredible. We are the only ones without kids so it's kind of fun to watch from an outside perspective. So rad to see each of our siblings raise their kids with so much love and patience. I am so happy that we get to be in their lives.
      I still work at Starbucks. Although the hours and the pay are a little rough I feel overwhelmingly grateful for the opportunity to work and to provide health insurance. Jordan hasn't had any luck finding a serving job yet but honestly he still finds a way to bring home the bread. I am so appreciative of his hard work and diligence in that. Even if his hours are fewer he has managed to pull in enough money to not only pay bills but save money too. I am so grateful for this man and his desire to provide for his little family- even when the job isn't ideal. Most days I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Ya some could say, "You're 24, you live with your in-laws, your house is a parked motor home, you have no career, and no future plans for your life, no retirement plan.." But I say, "I'm 24, I am married to my best friend, the man of my dreams since I was 13 years old, we live in a luxury condo, dwell in a family commune where many hands make light work, I work a steady job that provides insurance and that also allows me enough spare time to hang out with family and friends and be a good wife.." If that is not an amazing life than I'm not really sure what is!

Happy Spring everyone! May the sun shine down upon you and fill your souls with joy and peace!
