Our New Blog!

Well, I did it.  I finally decided to start blogging again.  For those of you who may remember, I was blogging a lot when I lived in China for 2 years about all my experiences living overseas.  Now, 3 years later, a new name and everything....it seems about time to start it up again.  After all, I have always loved journaling.  I probably have at least 30 journals under my bed right now (don't get any ideas, Justin!)  Writing and journaling has always helped me process things and I love looking back and reading my old journals and see just how far the Lord has brought me.  It's a great habit to have!  The only difference (and quite a big difference) is that all your family and friends can read all about your life online.  What in the world am I thinking?  Not that I think a lot of people will be reading my blog....except my mom of course...the way she keeps up with me on facebook, it's safe to say I have at least one reader out there!  But I realize that blogging is not just for my friends and family to read updates, but it's about me writing and processing through this life the Lord has blessed me with.  It's about having a wonderful tool to look back on and see the lessons we've learned, the things we've experienced, and the memories we make.  It almost feels like a new beginning.  Just like starting a new journal...I have always loved starting a brand new journal.  It was a time when I reflected back on my last journal, and looking forward to a fresh start.  I realize that it's not January, and there isn't anything extremely "new" that we are experiencing, but I am excited about what the Lord has in the new season in our lives.  Justin and I have been married almost 6 months (crazy!) and it feels like we are just now really getting settled into our new place, and finding a routine as we merged two lives and schedules together.  After spending months changing my name on what seemed like hundreds of documents, I am finally signing everything with Cummings without even hesitating!  It's a great accomplishment. Marriage has already brought so much joy to my life.  This truly is a wonderful season and we are enjoying every minute of it.  So..thanks for stopping by...and I hope you stay awhile!
