so, my husband and i are still unpacking. we've lived here since july 16th, yet, i have worked almost 40 hours a week since moving in (which is unusual), and am usually too tired to unpack when i get home. my limit of space is partly due to that fact and i can't stand it. i had today off of work and now i feel very satisfied...i got a LOT done. i:
-did two loads of laundry
-unpacked my winter clothes (as it is very cold outside)
-packed up my summer clothes
-cleaned up the closet to utilize the space in there
-packed up some holiday decorations (can't wait for christmas!)
-and i've gotten some big boxes out of the living room!
now, when i say cleaned up the closet...it WAS a task and a half! all the cleaning has been a task and a half!
made spaghetti for dinner. very basic, quick and easy....and cheap too!
the other day i made egg salad for my lunch. jacob doesn't like egg salad, so i didn't plan on him eating any. but he tried some of mine and said he only likes mine! (yay!)
all i did was:
4 hard boiled eggs (of course)
2 or so tablespoons of light mayo
1.5-2 tablespoons of mustard (maybe less...to your taste)
salt and pepper to taste
then i used some chives seasoning to add a little flavor to it..
it was very good!
in the meantime, it is so good to have a husband who is very concerned with my spiritual wellbeing. he is challenging me to help him with a Bible study for Romans.
he is so great!

God is good.
I haven't been close to God lately. i acknowledge him, and when Jacob and i pray, i sincerely come before God. yet, with things that have been happening over the last year or so, i have a hard time being a true follower.
yet, God is still so good. He blesses us beyond what we imagine.
I had a doctors appointment today, and got a clear bill of health.
i then went to the post office, where i was involved in a small fender bender. I was so scared because the car is not yet insured in my name. and if the insurance company finds out that we haven't switched it over yet, we may receive an intense fine. (as soon as my dad and i can get a day off together, we are switching it into my name).
yet, when i got out of the car....nothing. no dent. only a small scratch, which will come off with a little soap and water and a good wax.
Praise God. see...it's kinda complicated. my dad's cars are his children. we've always taken second (or third) place to his cars, and have always been harshly punished for any sort of damage. the one thing is he has a tendency of calling me names, and is always telling me how i shouldn't be driving.
well..it's not his car anymore, yet, he is still very controlling. so, i freaked out. yet, God is so good. he can handle a small scratch...especially when i tell him that it wasn't my fault but the old man who bumped into me! :o)

My life as a new wife
Welcome to MY blog! if you are coming from my other blog, Dobscha family, then you know a little of my story. if you haven't been to my other blog, please visit! it will be updated about the happenings of the Dobschas....myself and my husband, Jacob...so far. :o)
dobscha.blogspot.com
This one, however, will tell a different story. the life of a new wife.
For example, I am always trying to cook an interesting and delicious meal for my husband. however, on a tight budget and limited knowledge on combinations, i'm quickly running out of ideas. but as i come onto something new, i will share them here, and (with permission of others) share what is given to me.
also, stories of what I am dealing with as i go through this CRAZY transition in life, i will share, and hopefully encourage others who are or about to go through these same things. i don't ever desire to be a downer, but will definitely be real about what is going on. sometimes it will be hilarious, and other times, it will be less than happy. but that's who i am...a woman with many emotions. and that's ok.
