I am newly married only three months. I am settling into nesting into my very first home. All of a glorious 900 square feet of paradise on earth. I am being loved like I could have never known was possible. I am being taken all over Arizona for camping and week end trips, My new husband plays the guitar for me every night and sings to me when he returns from his night shift job.
I planted daffodils under the two baby trees out front after I dug out the dirt. I am washing my clothing in the new (used) washer my new brother and lister-in-law gave us for our wedding. I hang them out to dry. The home is now no longer a bachelor pad so there is a lot of elbow grease poured out to make it nice.
I pack lunches and cook home cooked meals with joy. I am so very humbled to have a man that loves God that I am in shock.
I eat . I eat foods that fatten up my rail frame. I like it! We have popcorn the way I make it in the oven under the broiler I brown the buttered and salted kernels.
I have a large new family all around me. I see myself as gutter trash in the new family that, I believed I was accepted into, only because, "he" choose me.
I learned that the boyfriend I had left months before is dead.
I spend all the time with my new Husband, or with a sweet kitten named "Jasper". I work hard on the land and inside the home to create the very best out of it. I have plants hung from the ceiling and growing out like a sun burst across the sky. I Quilt a blanket for our bed out of the fabric scraps of my youth and of his youth. My new Mother-in-law gave them to me. Life was amazing. I had little to no contact with my family it was good. I was safe. It was Christmas everyday!

I found your other blog first and read several posts. I cried and cried not only for the pain you endured but also for God's miraculous healing upon your life. He loves us far greater than we can ever imagine. I am so thankful you are sharing your story. It has been very encouraging to me.
Your 21st year sounds like such a blessing. Thanks for stopping by my place.
