Friends!!!

We're making friends!!!!  


So many of you know that I was hesitant to move to Wooster.   Six months ago I told Alex that he couldn't pay me to move to Wooster.  However, once we decided to move to here, I had a great peace from the Lord.  As the move got closer, I kept praying for fellowship and friends.  And the Lord has provided!  I couldn't be more thankful and excited.  


We randomly went to Wooster Church of the Nazarene three weeks ago to continue our church shopping adventures.  And we left thinking it was decent, but not sold.  The following week we returned and checked out the young adult sunday school class.  When we first walked in someone ask us if we were cousins with Aislinn.  And yes, we are.  Then when a couple introduced themselves to us and when we told them who we were, they responded, "We have been waiting to meet you guys!" We found out that we have mutual friends through young life.  The boys exchanged numbers and we had a couples date with them.  They even bought us dinner.  One thing that I have learned about Wooster, is that just about everyone you meet is very friendly.  


Today we decided to go back to Wooster Church of the Nazarene.  At Sunday School, we met more friends and we were invited to two small groups.  I again, left church today as one happy little girl.  


The Lord has been good.   Earlier this week I was truly struggling with why we left Columbus where we  have family, a great job and wonderful friends.  But even while I was struggling, I still knew that the Lord had plans for us,  and today was confirmation that it was going to be okay.  

Our First Blog!

Welp, we have officially hopped on the blogging bandwagon!  Our first posting will tell you a little about ourselves. . . So here we go!

Alex and I officially started dating two years ago.  However, we have been married for almost a year.  Some everyone might think it's crazy, however it has been the best two years of our lives.  Before we became "official," neither Alex nor myself thought we would be married until we were in our 30's.  However, things changed when Alex took me on our second date.  Our date consisted of an Ohio State football game (best date idea ever), delicious Hound Dog's Pizza, and a trip to the new library on campus, where he read me Polar Bear, Polar Bear.  And yes, he did make all of the animal sounds while reading.   As the night went on, Alex would ask, "just one more lap around campus. . . just one more time."  We all know how big campus is.  It's not a short lap.  With that being said, we walked and talked until 2am.  And also had our DTR.  Yes, on the second date we were official.  And the rest is history!

I married my best friend.  The one who makes me laugh, the one who encourages me more than anyone I have ever met and who loves me unconditionally.  We are now on an adventure together in the small town of Wooster, Ohio where we live close to the beautiful country roads and a place where the Lord has called us.  We welcome you to join in the adventure with us through our blog!  

p.s. It's date night and I'm pumped.
