274 days ago I talked about young marriage and what I knew
as a month old Mrs.
Now I’m a 10 month Mrs. And this is what I know about
marriage and the advice I give to those engaged.
Eat. Pray. Love.
Yes, it was a book and a great movie, but I can’t simplify it
any better. Eat your heart out. Eat lemon baked salmon, spaghetti squash, and
pancakes. Pray for your spouse and
spouse to be. Pray for your children
before they even exist. Pray for your
home and your friends and your job. Love
your home. Love your life. Love your spouse. Love your God. Love people.
Eat. Pray. Love.
Eat.
Mike and I took a huge step by picking up and moving to
Florida in April. We didn’t know much of
what to expect. I was starting at a new
Property Management company for Student Housing and I had no idea what I was
jumping head first into. After moving
into our first Florida apartment I began cooking like crazy. I tried cookbooks and Pinterest recipes and
family recipes. We happily ate until our
bellies were full and we were happy.
Eat.
Pray.
In July I found myself having major migraines and
nausea. I had the migraine for two weeks
straight and couldn’t eat solid food. We
had no idea what was wrong with me. Then
I fell into this horrible depression. I
didn’t know what to think or how to feel.
All I knew is that I was homesick and I didn’t want to move from the
couch when I got home from work. Getting
out of bed in the morning was a horrible chore.
I went to the doctor for prescription migraine medication to find some
sort of comfort. Come to find out, my
thyroid was incredibly swollen and I had hypothyroidism. My thyroid levels were astronomical and still
are according to my Endocrinologist who happens to also have hypothyroidism and
shares an insane love of shoes with me. After
the past 2 ½ months of medication and tons and tons of prayer, I’m back to
being happy Meighan and my normal appetite of coffee, diet coke, and candy (don’t
tell my mom about candy being a food group).
Pray.
Love.
It’s almost the holiday season with Thanksgiving right
around the corner and then Christmas right after. Christmas!
I’ve already bought new Christmas decorations for our Florida home and I’m
counting down the days to Thanksgiving when Mike finally gives me the okay to
cover our house in Christmas décor. The
Christmas season is so full of love and happiness and joy. I can’t wait to spend this season with Mike
in Florida and share my love of Christmas with our Florida friends and my amazing
work friends. I can’t wait to sing
Christmas carols day after day. This is
all love. The love that Mike and I share
is grounded in the love Christ has for us.
What a more perfect way to celebrate love than Christmas. Here I am showing my excitement for Christmas
and It’s October 27th.
Love.
Eat. Pray. Love.
