Oh, How Pinteresting! Wednesday

These last two days have been fantastic! My husband and I have had so much fun together. Last night he let me shave his head. He had long black hair, but last night we took his razor to it. It was definitely an exciting experience for me. After that we gave each other facials. That man loves a good facial. We watched the movie Stardust. Let me to you, that movie was fantastic! I loved every minute of it! I definitely give props to Josh for picking such a great movie for us to watch. The weather outside has been so fantastic also! It definitely is starting to feel like fall! I am so excited.




Buddy the Elf pajamas! Oh my word! I am definitely going to be needing some for Christmas!

I love this! I wanna decorate like this for Christmas!

Future baby girl Driver will own this

Definitely gonna do this in our bathroom when we get our new home!


I love this color for a boys room!

Marriage on a Monday

This morning I read a post titled "For The One Who Married Young". It spoke right to my heart. One line in particular stood out to me: "There will be moments and days and seasons that are really hard. And you’ll be tempted to think it’s because you got married young, but really, it’s just because you got married." Recently, I've been extremely stressed and the thought creeps up that it's because I married young, but when I read those words they brought a sense of comfort to me. She also talked about how "you hold in your heart each other’s worst and best, the awkward movement from child to adult. You are the witnesses of each other’s most sacred lives. Be careful with one another." Josh and I are in that awkward movement from child to adult. We are learning to navigate those waters. We are expected to be adults and handle everything that comes our way, but at the same time we are just young kids trying to figure life out. We fight and pout like children in kindergarten, and I mean what married couple doesn't do that? Haha :) But we always know, at the end of the day, that we love each other and wouldn't trade our young married lives for anything.
Haha I saw this a while ago on Pinterest and had to share it!

ATL

We headed to Atlanta yesterday for Justin Bieber's concert (Yes, go ahead and judge me :)). Our first stop was at Barnes & Noble for Pattie Mallette's (Justin Bieber's mom) book signing! We got there too late, but long story short one of Pattie's good friends named Chip helped us meet her! It was such an awesome experience and one we will never forget! The concert was of course fantastic!
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

on becoming a young married college student

I just turned nineteen almost a month ago, and I just got married at the end of June. I'm having to learn how to be the best wife I can be while having to adjust to moving away from home for the first time and going to college. I honestly don't feel like I have been the best wife that I could be. My husband and I are both having to adjust to totally new situations and it has not been easy. Some days I feel completely defeated. I compare our marriage too much to other newlywed's marriages. I need to dig deeper into Jesus and His word, and die to myself daily. My goal is to have devotionals with my husband every single night. In order for our marriage to thrive, we must choose to die to our selfish desires and put each other above ourselves and to put God first. I want to become the best wife I can be. I want to make my home a haven, I want to cook healthy meals for us, I want to be able to serve others together, and I want us to enjoy this crazy wild adventure together. I have to learn how to have a balance between being a wife and college student. This won't be easy, but with God, all things are possible. If anyone has any encouragement on balancing being a wife and college student, please feel free to share it with me :) I hope everyone has a blessed Thursday!
