Space Needle Love

Im so excited right now!! A couple of things are on my mind as I sit here in this coffee shop that I rode my bike to! 1. I am just so overwhelmed with Jesus, He truly loves me and has my best in mind. I feel so blessed and reassured that I can completely trust Him with everything. When we moved here we were stressed about finding jobs. Our plan was to either get a job and move from so cal, or save a certain amount of money and just go for it. We wound up saving the amount and now we are here. I found out last Thursday I got the job at Chestnut Hill Academy as an Instructional Assistant!! We were so excited!!! It was such a stress reliever, Jeff and I joked and said; "Yay, now we can keep our apartment!" and then today, Jeff had an interview at Ace Hardware and they absolutely LOVED him, we are pretty sure he is going to get the job!! I just feel so blessed. We knew that we needed to move, we felt a huge peace about moving to Seattle, but we were scared of all the "what ifs". We trusted in the Lord and went for it and He has taken care of us, FAR beyond anything we could have ever imagined!! It is a reminder to me, that God knows. He knows what we need. He knows where we are at. He knows where we are going and where we will end up. I can trust I can believe that we will be O.K.
It is becoming an awesome ritual that if you land a job when first moving to Seattle, that you have to go to the Space Needle for dinner to celebrate! It was actually pretty funny, well one it seems that Ali is always around for really exciting moments in my life, and she was there when I found out I got the job, happy dance all the way!! Well, Boston asked what was going on and Ali told him, Katy got a new job, he said; "Are we going to the Space Needle!!??" It was precious, well because when Willy got his job the celebrated by going to the Space Needle's restaurant for dinner... So, we bundled up and headed to dinner!
Jeff wore this awesome coat!! I think he looks like a sexy spy!! hahahah ;) They have an observation deck at the top where you can look out and see the beautiful twinkling city below! You can even peek into other buildings with these awesome telescopes!
Inside the restaurant it rotates as you eat. At first Jeff thought he might get sick eating like that but he got used to it and we had a great time! He had really delicious sea food alfredo and I had super fancy chicken, I sipped a Seattle Sunset and Jeff got a beer that tasted like teriyaki sauce :( It was REALLY overpriced but so worth it!!


Here she is all lit up (so pretty!) I got to smooch my husband on top of Seattle, it was so dreamy with the lights all around us!!!
I love this man so much and I am so proud of him, he is such a hard worker and I cannot wait to see as God prepares a way for him to travel down the path he has set out!
Which brings me to the second thing I am excited about... #2. I love my husband. Its funny I get all mushy right now, before this I was getting ready to leave and I was really bugging him, hahahdah, but even when Im buggin I know that he loves me!! I just think about life sometimes and cant believe where God has brought us. I remember being here and thinking about now. that I get to write this blog about me and Jeff having dinner on top of Seattle. God is good. I love my husband. I love what God is doing in our marriage. Easter, was amazing. Church was incredible. It reminded me that Jesus saved me. Jesus saved my marriage. Jesus is the reason that we are still married. I cant believe, but I can.
His love is something I cannot even comprehend or even begin to try to comprehend. He loves me, He loves Jeff and He loves our marriage. Im just at a loss for words. Im so thankful. I get to be married to Jeff, I get to love him, I get to live in Seattle with him, I get to ride bikes with him, I get to make his coffee, I get to fix him dinner and do his laundry, I get to laugh with him, I get to take walks to get coffee and talk, I get to go to church with him, I get to share my life with him!
Im also happy that we are really getting plugged into our church! Willy and Alison are gems, I love you guys! Thank you for helping us get connected! You are the very best friends ever! I love that Jeff is at mens group tonight, being encouraged and supported. I love that I got to go to women's bible study last night! We are making lots of friends too!! We had dinner with Shannon and Erin last week they are an awesome young married couple! we ate and laughed and talked about life!
I just feel full. not even full, overflowing!!
Thank you Jesus!
