New State, New Marriage, New House, New Job...

That's it. The title sums this up. Everything is new in my life right now. It's crazy. Last year at this time I was just meeting and getting to know the man I am now married to! That really freaks me out but it's true.
Here I am in a new state with my new husband and I love it. I love being married. So much of it is trial and error and a huge learning event. We are figuring each other out and learning to be together all the time and see each other in our ugly moments... Whew, it's awesome and wonderful and hard all at the same time. I don't know any other words for it.
I am still trying to find my place in this city and in my home. I am not sure exactly who I am sometimes. Or what I want to do "when I grow up". I struggle with working meaningless jobs that leave me feeling empty at the end of the day. I am very sure of what I love and what I want to do but there really is a practicality of also paying bills and actually working. Any thoughts on how to make the job of my dreams appear? (teaching sustainable agriculture and working with non-profits in a short term overseas deal...)
I think what I am learning the most right now is to be patient and to be content. Contentment is so hard! It's not easy to wait on God either.
I will leave you with that I think. Til next time!
