Today I ran into a friend of mine that use to live with Casey and he made a crack about how he probably doesn't do the dishes, and actually, he does.
It is amazing just how natural our lives have fallen together in our marriage. From the small things (I hate washing dishes. Dried stinky food grosses me out. However, Casey finds doing dishes while listening to an online sermon relaxing) all the way to the big things (I'm called to public school teaching and summer missions and Casey is called to the university classroom and foreign missions) just all fall into place.
My favorite thing is our time spent in the car. We have some of the best conversations while driving or traveling- I believe we just learned how to capitalize on those few precious final minutes after date. Also, I can always have confidence that Casey is looking out for our finances and the working order of our cars (I have to drive the Jetta to school Friday because my car is due for an oil change. Eek! It's sink or float in the standard!) His strengths and natural concerns are the things I tend to bypass. Isn't it funny how God works?
I tease Casey sometimes (but I really am totally serious) that on the days I'm down, he's up and full of patience. And on the days he's down, I'm ready to take on the world! We balance out with encouragement and optimism. It would be a bad day if we both were down!
Cooking together is quality time. I have never known a man so willing to participate in the kitchen- I love it! He is such a servant minded man, and I admire him for that.
After just merely two-months I am filled with awe of what God can do in the lives of two people... I'm greatly excited to see what's to come in the years and years and years ahead!
