6 Months!


Can you believe it? We have been married 6 months TODAY! Wow! What a 6 months! It has definitely been a learning and adjusting time for both of us. As in every marriage, there are good times and bad times. For the most part, we really try to be sensitive to one another's feelings AND we try not to take each other for granted.

Some people will tell us that it's only like this b/c we're "Honeymooners". We agree to some extent but your relationship and your passion for one another is all in what you put into it AND it's about keeping Jesus as your center point. Jesus is the one who GUARANTEES that your relationship will be "till death do us part". The GREATEST attribute that Gretchen LOVES about Corey is how much he really tries to be like Jesus. He really tries to be humble and love Gretchen as Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for it. He is best at being a spiritual leader, not only to Gretchen but to Zach as well.

Our family is blending very well. Corey has really adjusted well to his role as both a Father and a Husband. Gretchen has adjusted, as well, to being a housewife and stay-at-home mom. She loves the time she gets to spend with Zach AND Corey. Although we love Zach and we focus mostly on raising him in a Godly manner, we make sure that our dedication and love for one another comes FIRST (after God). Zach will one day grow up and move out, then we're stuck with JUST each other. lol So, we make sure that we have that good balance and our priorities in the right order. It's probably harder for Gretchen than it is for Corey. :)
