| Date Nights! |
I have been out in Arkansas for just about one month and so far it has been enjoyable! One of the major perks is, Chad and I get to go on dates in person, which is something we didn't get to do for the majority of our relationship. We have already learned so much about each other and I am glad we are getting this time. I feel as though this will help establish our foundation for a marriage. Many couples have told me that this experience will be great-just being alone with the other person and having no one around. It may get lonely but that makes you rely on them more.

Changing the subject, Chad's parents came out to see us. We had a great time and it was nice to spend some time with them. One thing they did that was super sweet was they celebrated my birthday! This was an unexpected surprise and was warmly welcomed. Right after they left, my dad and the Rutland's stopped by to see us along their motorcycle trip! They got in on a Tuesday evening, stayed all day Wednesday and left Thursday morning. While they were here, we also celebrated my birthday : ).

In the meantime, I have continued my new hobby of painting. This is my most recent one; I gave it to Mom and Dad and it is already hung up in the house! I do not know where this talent came from, but I am greatly enjoying this unexpected outlet! I would like to look into possibly taking some art lessons just for fun, so we will see. As for now, I guess learning as I go will be sufficient-just like how I learned to sing.
