Home, Sweet Home

After getting settled in to this cozy duplex, we're beginning the search for a new apartment.

I know it sounds a bit crazy to be moving so quickly after getting married, but what's crazier still is Joel's commute to work. Two hours each way, plus a full day's work. And he still has to come home and entertain me!

I'm starting to like the "housewife" role. The house is clean, the laundry done, the errands run, and dinner on the table every night. Joel's not quite sure what to do with me. The other night he said, "Gee, Becca, I'm not sure what to do around here. It's like having a maid." I quickly reminded him that it could also be like, uh, having a wife? We had a good laugh about that one. He made me promise that we'd split up the housework when I get a job. And of course I didn't say no. But for right now, it's a distribution of responsibility that is fair to both sides.

Joel and Becca's Prayer List:

*Becca needs a (good/fun/stable) job
*Joel and Becca need a (good/clean/quiet/safe) apartment closer to Joel's work (Bellevue or Renton)
*The indecisive couple needs to pick out their wedding photos to be printed
