I had an amazing time at home for Canadian Thanksgiving and Matt and Sarah's wedding. It was so great to be back in Ontario to celebrate a wedding and a holiday. The whole Team V clan was home for Thanksgiving dinner with Nana and Poppa and Uncle Rick, and we had such a nice couple of days just being together. Matt and Sarah's wedding was a perfect day, and there is nothing more joyous than watching two treasured friends unite their lives under the Lord! Plus it was a blast to get to see all of my friends and to celebrate together. In so many ways, it was like I had never left, and I am so thankful for that. What a blessing it is to have friends so close and united that we can pick up just where we left off months prior. I am so thankful for my girlfriends!!
I was very anxious though to get back to my hubby after 5 days apart. I don't think either of us realized just how much time we spend together until we were suddenly not together anymore! We have found one of the best parts of marriage to be the joy of just doing everything together, so I really really missed him when I was home!
Our stream of steady visitors has now stopped flowing so it's just Mark and I until we come home for Christmas. We are so looking forward to being home, and yes we are very much looking forward to snow and our beloved Ontario! But for now we are enjoying married life and our new adventure, and most of all we are enjoying watching the Lord provide. I have been able to find a part time nanny job which provides for our grocery money (they have to pay me in gift cards to keep it legal), which has been an incredible blessing to us. Mark was also offered a job on campus as Intramural Coordinator, which was timely provision after his previous job opportunity had fallen through. We are learning so much about trust and humility already in just a few short months, and we are so thankful for all we are being taught!
"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own". Matthew 6:34
