Hello Everyone!
David and I have decided to start a blog together. We are still deciding what exactly it will have in it, but while we do, we figured we'd just jump in.
A little info for those of you that don't know us. We were married in September of 2019 in Kenilworth, NJ. I am from Central Jersey while David is from Long Island. We met at The Ezekiel Project Seminars in 2015, started dating 2 years later, and are now happily married and figuring out life as we go along.
So far our first year of marriage has been a year of traveling. We spent a week long honeymoon at Lake Placid, in Upstate NY, were living on Long Island immediately following our wedding for about 7 months, then moved to Camp Iroquoina in Pennsylvania where we will be for just under 4 months, and are now located in Michigan to continue our schooling/training with TEPSE (The Ezekiel Project School of Evangelism).
A few things we have learned in that time...
Men and women really do speak 2 different languages: Especially with me as an artist and David with his mechanical mind, it has been a learning curve to figure out how best to communicate and make sure we have both heard the other, what they have said, and what they are asking in the communication.
That chocolate does not fix everything: For this gal, it's all about my mood. For this guy, if it's past 7 o'clock there is no telling when bedtime will actually be once chocolate is consumed. That more is definitely not always better: This was discovered when sorting through necessities going to Michigan and what we really did and did not need to bring (so sad for my adorable and useful garlic press)
Time and commitment management:
That we are better together, but too much is just too much. Figuring out how important different commitments and activities are to the both of us and what we can reasonably do has also been a learning curve.
That giving 100% in a relationship does not have to be hard, but is a choice.
And that's all for now!
We'd love to hear from you...thoughts, concerns, serious concerns as needed, and suggestions. Ideally we want this to be a fun and engaging place where connections can be made.
