I'm married!!

Last time I posted here, I was still Ms. Jessica Amanda Sowers. It was the beginning of my wedding month. Things were starting to get crazy and real. 

Now, as I write, I am Mrs. Jessica Amanda Frook (For real guys! =O). It has been a month since our wedding. I am now a wife and am in the midst of settling into my new routine and setting up a home for my husband (Yay!!) and I. 

If you would have talked with me a month ago, I would have told you I was worried, stressed, and most of all impatient! But also kind of starting to realize that a time in my life was almost over - a time I would never get back. Now? I almost can't remember when Nathan and I weren't married, funny how that works. Nathan and I were just talking about how it seemed to take forever for our wedding day to come, and now that it's over and we're married, it seems like it happened so fast and we feel like we've been married forever. People assured me that's how it would be - wish I would have believed them ;)

I am hoping to get back into blogging and soon there will definitely be some posts about our wedding (We get all our pictures soon!!), our honeymoon, and how our lives are going in this transition period. But for now, I just wanted to say hi and let you know that Mrs. Frook is still alive ;) and very very happy and blessed!

Until next time...

1000 gifts - 1-7 {8.19.14}

I haven’t ever read the book by Ann Voskamp and I’ve really only scrolled through her Instagram feed a few times - But, I hear a lot about her idea of 1000 gifts from the many people I follow through blogging and Instagram. I’ve wanted to start keeping a journal documenting my own 1000 gifts but just haven’t yet! Well, last night, God really hit me in the face with Ps. 78 and reminded me how much time I spend worrying and complaining about things when I have so much to be thankful for! I really want to start seeing things through the eyes of thankfulness, so I have decided to keep my journal here, on my blog! I think it will keep me more accountable and then it will be here whenever I want to review! I might end up having a notebook too, but I’m praying I will keep it up. So, here you go:

1. A Psalm putting me back on track

2. Moving my body through Pilates

3. A yummy cup of coffee and a fun video game

4. A good breakfast

5. Clean water to keep me hydrated

6.  A room full of gifts from people who love me 

7. A Fiancé who loves me no matter what

Until next time…
