Sad Samaritan

So Chance and I were driving the other day and we were in the unprotected turn lane and there was a car in front of us that stopped in the middle of the intersection. Later we noticed that two older people were in the stopped car and either couldn’t get it to start, or had trouble turning the car. Soooo this car was sitting there the whole time the light was green, the whole time it was yellow, and then red. When the opposite lights turned green the cars immediately starting going. NO ONE STOPPED TO HELP! Chance got out of the car to go help, but he couldn’t cross because cars were going through the light without even slowing down.
This made me REALLY sad. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?! Were we really the only ones that felt the need to get out and help? It just made me really sad, especially because they were elderly and you could totally tell need some assistance.
They finally got the car to get moving, and were on their way. That made me happy. :)

I Forgot

Who recognizes this fine character is? Anyone? Anyone? I thought so. You should all know who he is. It’s Forgetful Jones. Sometimes when someone doesn’t remember something, you know when they ’forget’- I often refer to them as Forgetful Jones. If you can’t recall where you’ve seen Mr. Forgetful Jones, he was a beloved character on Sesame Street. Apparently Chance has never heard of him and thinks that it’s ridiculous to assume everyone knows who Forgetful Jones is. But I say, OOooOOhhhh they do. OOooh they do.

Marriage

So, I know that sometimes I might come off completely annoying because I am always talking about my husband and how wonderful he is, but I just have to give credit where credit is due. I’ve been enjoying my 5 months of marriage so much and since Chance is starting to photograph weddings it makes me think about the meaning of ’I do.’
My hubbs, Chance, is truly my hero. He never judges me, never thinks I’m stupid, (when he clearly should), and always makes me feel secure in our marriage and his love for me. He is my spiritual leader, not always out loud, but more humbly, more genuinely. Through his actions, service and dedication to our God I trust that Chance will protect me, us and our faith. He never makes me feel less than, or ungodly, or ugly. He rises me up and makes me feel so important. It’s bizarre knowing I have his heart. I am so lucky. We laugh together, act silly together and basically make sure we say "I freaking love you" at least four times a day.
I don’t know if I’m coming off like the typical newlywed bride, but if i am i apologize. I know I’m not an expert, and many people would disagree with what I’m about the say, and that’s ok, because I don’t want to act like I know all. But let me go ahead and say that marriage is a holy thing. It wasn’t invented by our country or the world for that matter. Marriage was God’s idea. It was and still is meant to be an act of service to each other. If you and your ’lover’ don’t look to something bigger than yourself to serve each other, love each other etc. then you might not experience marriage to it’s fullest potential. Most people long to be wanted, loved and pursued. That’s how we were made. So how can we keep pursuing each other when the romantic dating stops? This is when we don’t look to ourselves, but something better, bigger than us. I could go on about this forever, but I won’t because I know some people are just so turned off by marriage and it’s purpose. Some people even get upset when they realize they NEED to turn to Christ. And honestly it makes me sad, because ultimately it means us Christ followers haven’t done a great job living like Jesus.
This idea of marriage was put on my heart this last week because a young girl came up to me and complimented my marriage. It was encouraging, and very surprising, but I understood it wasn’t any of my doing, but God’s work in me. I still have many things i need to accept, many lessons to learn, and many years of marriage to keep this mindset, but yet I am excited for the challenges ahead, because Chance and I are not alone. Hur-ray for marriage! Hur-ray for Chance!

rrrriiiiigggghhhhtttt

How come the movies are 10.50 now? what the heck. this really isn't floatin' my boat. I am so pissed about this i will NOT spend 10.50 for another dumb movie. the last two i saw were so disappointing. i think i'm going to become a director just so the film makers of today will see what a horrible job they are doing to cinema.
o man. it's so late, i can't believe i am up right now trying to blog about movie tickets. 'I need an education and a job' (hopefully someone knows what i'm quoting.) but actually i do need both. ha. yikes. i'm sad.
P.S.-I have the biggest crush on Chance right now, he looks so cute sleeping.
