Throughout our first year of marriage we have definitely had our share of trials. We have been learning how to live together and have dealt with the changes that every relationship makes as it matures into a married relationship. We had our months of trying to pay the bills off just my income when Aaron quit his job (and somehow we made it, even if it did include a humbling trip to the food bank) We have learned that God provides, and even when it doesn't feel like it things eventually look a little brighter.
This has definitely been a brighter week for us. We have officially been in our new rental house for 1 Week now! Last Saturday we started packing and on Sunday my family was amazing and helped us move nearly everything over to the new place. It has been so wonderful to have a fenced yard to let our dog out in and a shop & patio for Aaron to paint our furniture on. This house is such an amazing place and we are so thankful! Honestly if anyone ever needs a place to stay let us know, we have room!
The second huge blessing that we have received this week is our new car. It looks like this:
It is a 2008 Toyota Corolla, and it is beautiful. Aaron's Grandma has owned it since January and now that she isn't driving anymore they have decided to give (that's right, GIVE) it to Aaron & I. Aaron is being so sweet and decided that it is my car since his car is still pretty new itself and mine is an older gas guzzler. Since this car has a whopping 1700 miles on it you will now and for the next 20+ years be seeing me driving around town sporting this pretty little car. Thank you Lord, I never imagined I would own a car that is so new!
If anyone is looking for a Red 1994 Honda Passport we are selling ours. Hopefully by the middle of September because the Boys & Girls Club will be closed for the month, leaving us a little under budget for our monthly bills :)

WOW! I love the new car! VERY nice! God is sooo good isn't HE! That's so awesome! I will continue to keep you in my prayers as a newly married couple because marriage isn't always the easiest but it is so worth it and so rewarding! Now you need to post pics of your new house! :0) I'm sure it's very cute!
That's is a gorgeous car! God does provide. Congratulations on your new place. Natalie told me what an amazing blessing it is not only just to have a place, but the whole mentoring thing. Hope you enjoy getting settled in. The first year of marriage is tough. You might check out The Most Important Year In A Women's Life/The Most Important Year In A Man's Life. It's a great Christian based look at the first year of marriage.
