How am I going?

Well, David and I have been married for 6 mths now, and I think we have ironed out all those initial issues like putting the dirty clothes in the basket and who will do the washing up, so we are getting quite settled with each other now. (It took me about 2 mths to start sleeping properly, getting used to having someone else in my bed, waking as the other stirred or turned over, etc)! :)

Our home is fairly set up now. Of course, there are still things we want to do, like renovate the laundry and repaint two bedrooms. We haven't done any of the garden up to this point, because nothing was growing (not even weeds). Now that the rain has started, I want to get out and start working on the garden beds. We have plans for the yard and need to make some new gardens beds for vegies and the formal and the native areas.

Our guest rooms are set up and have already started being well used! (We delight in having people visit and stay!)

David's teaching is going well and is now also also the Careers Advisor, which he will do very well. We are both working in our Tupperware business and I am now an Associate Manager, with my own team. I love it!

I have started studying again, after a semester off when I moved down here to Melbourne and we started learning how to be married. I am doing two distance subjects through Morling College by distance. I am doing a theology subject and an exegesis subject on Paul and Corinthians. I have never done distance learning before, and am quite nervous about it!

Honestly, how am I going?
I feel very much at home down here (originally from Sydney, for new readers). I love the town I live in and every time I go on a day trip I feel like I am on holidays!!

All the girls down here are very warm and welcoming, but I do yearn for those deep relationships that you have with people you know for years, those who have carried you through your worst and best moments, those who you've lived, laughed, and cried with. I really do miss my girls.

Please pray with me that I find and develop some key relationships here.
