The Box

This year for Christmas among other gifts I decided to make Ryan a "Date-Night box"! I feel that it's so important to date your spouse and even so, it always seems to take last priority:(. So, after finding this idea on Pintrest (if you haven't been on Pintrest before you need to!) I thought this is the perfect thing for us. Each month of the year has a date planed and paid for.  I can't wait to post each date!!!

My First Post!

Well, I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time but two things always kept me from doing it, 1) I always felt that no one would want or have the need to read it! It's not like we have kids that distant relatives want to see pictures of and hear about, or that we live far away from everyone we know and need to give fun updates, or that I have wonderful ideas I need to share with the world! And 2) what would I name it! But after giving this much thought...I decided what the heck. I'm going to do it anyway, and I'll name it Life Uncommon! I know that it may seem that our life isn't really that "uncommon" but I kinda feel that it is. The average age of a woman in the US to get married is 26, and I got married at 19 and have loved almost everyday of it :)! We didn't live together or have sex before we were married (sorry if that's TMI but we're pretty proud of that!) We love God and believe that He sent his Son to die for our sins and try to live our lives accordingly. It's not that we feel like we're better than anybody because that is certainly not true, but I feel that in this day and age and in our generation, our choices in life...well, just aren't that common anymore.
