A Sweet Season

(Betsy): Hello, dear friends.

Scott and I have not been faithful about blogging; over the past few weeks, month (has it been a month since we last blogged?), we have committed our time to family, church, friendships, and each other. This transition into spring from a long, cold winter has been a sweet one for us. We are in a season in our lives, in our relationship with one another, and in our individual relationships with God where we are experiencing deep growth. It is a joyful season for us!

Since our last post, we have finished two books, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married by (who else?) Gary Chapman. We are currently finishing Financial Peace Revisited by Dave Ramsey. All three books have encouraged meaningful conversations about areas of our lives that we have devoted, and will continue to devote, our time and energy to so that we may continue to grow together. I am so grateful for a fiance who is dedicated to reading with me so that we can learn, change, and evolve together.

Easter was especially meaningful this year. As new Christians, both Scott and I gained a better understanding of what Easter means for us, for believers. We were able to spend the afternoon with family, and then we headed to Christ Community Midtown for Easter service. I was so proud of Scott for sharing his testimony with the men and women of the congregation. I even managed to snap a few photos of him speaking :)

It is so exciting to what God is doing in our lives, and we are so incredibly thankful for a church home filled with amazing friends and supporters who love and serve. On this particular Sunday, my mom, brother, dad, and his wife came to show their support to Scott. I was super excited to have them join us to get a glimpse of what our 'new' lives look like. Midtown, and more specifically, our relationship with Christ, will be foundational for our marriage, and I was truly grateful for the opportunity to share that with my family.

Speaking of family...

Momma and Papa Prentice headed to Indy last weekend so that Papa Prentice (what a handyman!) could fix some things around the house for the buyers. Yes, you read that right! Buyers! Scott sold his house! Woooooo hoooooo!! We are so thrilled to be cutting out expenses of home ownership so that we can really start "living like no one else" so that later we can "live like no one else!" 

This weekend we are headed to a Cubs game with Morgan and Mike. We are super pumped to spend quality time with them in Scott's favorite city, Chicago! Pictures to come...

Enjoy the weekend :)
