1 Year has Gone by so Fast





As I sit in bed writing this blog, I feel a sense of peace and yet excitement about our future.  We recently have decided to move into my parent's old house and move out of the first house we lived in together.  That means we have until October 1st to pack up our things and head down the street!  Oh, and with that, Adam and I will be gaining 2 roommates!  Jess is moving in with us and my fluffy and adorable cat Billy will be staying at the house.  
Along with this move comes alot of preparation and work-around.  Adam has been working ton at the fire station and when he isn't working he has been studying like a champ.  He has at least two firefighting tests coming up in September.  He has been doing such an amazing job staying disciplined and working diligently to take on all of his responsibilities 100%.  I am so proud of him and find myself doing extra work around the house to make sure he has time for his workload.  
With the next chapter of our marriage beginning to unfold, we have found a new meaning of teamwork.  Moving into our new home and raising the bar on our existing challenges have brought us a new sense of joy to share with each other.  Oh, and if I haven't mentioned it before, we are excited to not have carpet in our kitchen, be able to wash our dishes in a dishwasher, and relax in our backyard!
And for me, I can't wait to take nice hot bubble baths.  As for Adam, he finally has a garage to work in again and a place for his tools.  
Looking back on this last year, I will agree with the piece of advice The Quinn's wrote to us in our wedding card; "If you put the hard work in now, it will be rewarding in the long-run."  Adam and I recall that quote often and can honestly say that though this year was hard, our relationship is better for it.  We can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us!

Our First Car


Here we are!  I know I haven't added anything to our blog since it was created.  But I am excited to report that we have purchased our first car as a married couple.  It was a big decision for us because neither one of us have ever bought a brand new car.  With much consideration, we decided to get the Volkswagen Tiguan.  As Adam would put it, think "Tiger" and "Iguana" put together.  We both absolutely love it.  At first, my favorite part about the car was the really long sunroof that extends all of the way to the back.  But now that I have driven it more, my favorite part is definitely the 2.0 turbo.  It's like a rocket when you punch the gas.  
Although buying a new car can be fun because it's a new and exciting, I think the best part about buying the car together is that we have both made a big commitment together that we mutually decided on and can now call ours for the first time in our marriage.  It' something we share.  So, it brings us closer together and strengthens our marriage.  
Of course there is a lot of "firsts" still to come for Adam and I.  However, we are thrilled to have this one under our belt and are trying to remain patient and enjoy our time together while we are young.  I think this endeavor we have undertaken will keep us busy for the time being and we look forward to appreciating what we have for awhile.  
As I conclude this blog I would like to ask for your prayers in Adam and I's future as we venture into a busy time in our lives focusing on Adam's career and the prospect of him getting hired on at a fire department.  This is his dream and passion and we have faith that God will provide us with a lasting career for him to step into in the near future.
Love,
Krista and Adam

Our First Blog

This is both of ours first blogging experience. I thought it was about time we create something like this since alot of our other friends are creating blogs too. It is such a great way to keep updated on the important events going on in our lives and display it with a personal touch! Adam and I have been married for about 7 months now and together a little over 7 years all together. This is a way for us to begin journaling our experiences together to help us keep track of them all and share them with everyone else. Time flies by so fast and before you know if we will be celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary and our newlywed days will be a distant thing of the past. Its time to celebrate our moments with all of our family and friends to help us remember the good old times :) Here's to the documentation of The Hubbard Resident - forever and always...
