Living with a boy

I've had lots and lots of roomates before but they've all been girls and we've all had our own rooms to decorate. It's different living with a boy. Boy's don't have "decorations". Rob has been so patient with me and my decorating. I LOVE to decorate. My decorating is pretty quirky but I like it. We have 7 rooms in our apartment and all of them have "HOLLY" written all over them. I tried to make an effort in decorating our bedroom to suit both boy and girl standards. I went with the colors brown and blue. That sounds pretty boy proof-doesn't it? Well my blue got kind of teal blue and my browns are in all kinds of swirls and floral prints. OOPS-sorry Rob. I tried. Not only do we have the big obvious difference of the boy/girl thing going on but we have quite a drastic difference in tastes and style. Rob is more the techy/modern guy and I'm the shabby/chique girl. So, to make a long story short- a sad, long story short, what you see above is my husbands appointed space in the house to decorate. He is free to put whatever he wants on that shelf. I sound like a horrible and not so understanding wife but my husband is so pleased with his shelf. He is completely satisfied. Every once in awhile I see him just looking up at the shelf and just smiling.(he's so cute) He's happy, I'm happy, all is good until we have more Dr. Who than shelf room. :)

How could I ask for more?

The last two months have just gotten away from me. I'm not sure why I'm just now writing about them because frankly, I've had absolutely nothing to do!!!!! It's weird that I haven't been working and have been home almost everyday and feel like I'm still going in circles. It's been nice to have this quiet time in my life- God knew I needed it. I'm not sure what I would have done with a job on top of all the other changes. Here, I've been worried about not finding a job and God's timing was just perfect. Surprise, surprise.

We are pretty settled in our new home. Just a few more pictures to hang on the walls. We are really starving for a church family and fellowship. We're getting there-it takes time I know. That's just one of those things that I just want to spead on up.God has blessed me with a job with Parent's As Teachers. I start May 14th and will be very ready to have something to do. Rob has just finished up his first two classes. He's really enjoying his classes and learning a whole lot! Rob is also doing some web design on the side.

We had the great opportunity to spend Easter weekend with Rob's family(above picture). We traveled to Atlanta to see his family. What a joy it was for me to get to know my in-laws. I met them a couple of days before our wedding and that's all of the getting to know time we've ever had. I tell you what-Rob came with the whole packaged deal and what a deal it was. His family is so wonderful.We had so much fun playing games, holding our cute little niece and just soaking in God's love that He has shed upon us. We even got to go to an authentic, Moroccan restaurant. We sat on the floor, ate with our hands and had belly dancing entertainment. No, none of our bellies were dancing. That would have made quite a memory though. Maybe next time. :) We had a great visit. Rob and I have just been so blessed with great families. We have a lot to be thankful for. My cup runneth over......
