Learning...

What have the Maglothins been up to lately? Well Matt has been traveling so I have learned what it's like to stay home alone! Alyssa came and spent the night one night and we had a great time just hanging out and talking. I have been reading twilight and finished the third book. I had a slumber party at Missy's and we watched girly movies that we can't watch with the boys :) And my dad, mom and Grandmom came down to go get Mexican food! It was all fun but I must say I am glad to have my hubby back! This had really reminded me that he is my best friend and I can't really imagine life without him...

Anyways, I've been learning a lot about being married. It really is hard to fully seek the Lord and have a husband. It's a lot easier to get distracted because my best friend is around allll the time- I'm really realizing what is meant in 1 Corinthians 7. Matt and I have been trying to find that balance and I must say life is SO much better when we find it. That has always been a really neat thing about Matt and I's relationship - if we are in tune with the Lord and loving and serving him, our relationship is awesome. When we aren't, our relationship is a struggle. So I'm really learning the importance of putting God first, even above my husband. It's especially hard to be a serving and loving wife when I put myself at the top of my priority list! Being married really is selfless and works best when both people are giving 100%, not 50/50. I know we went over that in marriage counseling but its just now clicking!

We have also been starting to get plugged into a church around here. It's hard not having many of our close friends live near by. I've been putting off making new friends for a while but we are realizing we really need fellowship down here in Houston. I am excited because one of my ASC (Aggie Sisters For Christ) friends moved just a few miles away from us! We all went to church last week and we excited for more hang outs. We have been trying to meet more people in our apartment - but that's hard to do in Houston!

We had a date night with Cliff and Missy last night. We went to Brio's and saw Leap Year. It was fun just the four of us! And thanks to Lynn and Mike for babysitting :)

And I'll leave you with this for now: "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuring debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8
