Closing Day!

Today was a monumental day in our lives as one! Matthew and I have been waiting for this day for a few months now. It all started in October when we decided that we wanted to buy a home in Chattanooga. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Wow is all I can say about this process. For any of you who have gone through it you all understand! The looking process was probably the most interesting. Matthew and I learned so much about each other during this adventure. I learned that I stress a lot over what it looks like to start with....I had to explain to Matthew and our realtor that I was a visual person. Many houses I just couldn't even imagine what I could do to it to make it look nice. haha Luckily Matthew and I found the perfect house for him and I. It is a beautiful brick house with a great yard and full basement. Well I refer to the basement as the "man cave." The house is just what we were both looking for. It has a wonderful den area and a FANTASTIC kitchen! I am most excited about my spacious kitchen. Matthew was pumped to have his very own room for his golf mementos. I am very thrilled for this room as well. Matthew is quite the golfer and his many tournament wins have accumulated many trophies and plaques. The room is going to be a great place to show all his many accomplishments! After signing a MILLION papers within the last month and another MILLION today I am pleased to say Matthew and I are finally HOME OWNERS!!! Words can't describe how excited I am for this move in our lives as one. The moving begins Friday........

DREAMS

As a little girl I always dreamt of getting married and having a family. It is crazy how fast we grow up and all those dreams start coming true. It seems as though Matthew and I were two people that were very happy with where we were in life. I was graduating college and looking forward to start my teaching career. Matthew was working as a golf pro and striving to improve his own golf game. It just so happens that I needed a summer job and the country club had an opening. It was very helpful that I had always loved the game of golf. Now I must tell you that my approach to playing golf is very different to Matthew's approach. I am sure most people that play with us are always wondering why has he not fixed my swing yet. Well for future reference, it is not that he hasn't tried! I must say I have a little bit of stubborn running through me. As the summer went on Matthew and I became very fond of each other. We spent most days together and enjoyed being around each other. I always thought he was a hoot and he always seemed to have this calming affect on me. Needless to say, I am far from calm on most days. I am realizing more and more each day how perfect he is for me. He is constantly teaching me how to not worry about things I can not change. I feel as though Matthew makes me a better person. I am thankful that God placed me with a man that helps me to fix/overcome my enemy, called stress.



I am thankful for so much in my life and I enjoy living out my childhood dreams. Matthew and I are looking forward to starting our one life together and all the changes that are coming our way!
