Hello once again from Melissa & Trevor. I cannot express how crazy things have been for us since our engagement. All good things, of course, but still CRAZY! We decided to begin house hunting so we would have a place to call our first home. That was fun for about one day. We finally found the house we both loved. We are scheduled to close on Tuesday at 4pm. Please keep us in your prayers for that process! Our plan is to paint, replace the carpet, and re-tile the kitchen before we get completely moved in.
We are also in full swing of wedding planning, of course! We have the invitations all ready to address and send out. Most of the final decisions have been made, we are just waiting on closer to time to carry them out. All of our shower dates are set. This is what June looks like for us. Come home and work, leave town for something, come home to work, leave town for something. It will be a whirlwind, but we are really excited, happy, and blessed with all that's going on.
I also will begin a new job at the University of Colorado Hospital in the NICU. I start tomorrow in the unit and I'm anxious to get started. Trevor has been wonderfully supportive through all the wedding planning, house hunting, and job change. He spent hours and hours on the computer looking at homes and also scouring craislist to find inexpensive things for our house. I cannot wait to get in and start making it our own!
We began our premarital counseling a few weeks ago. Our counselor had us take a survey seperately that compiled our responses into categories of strengths, growth areas, and things we agree/disagree on. Last week she revealed to us that for the stress level portion, we both were at 95% stress level! It was pretty funny! Most of it is circumstantial, but still!
Once we close and things get moving, I'll post some before and after pictures of our house. And I'll try to be a better blogger, but given what the next 3 months looks like for us, I can make no guarantees! More to come!
