I ♥ Saturdays

Let me clarify, I love every other Saturday, because that means Bobby has half the day off from work. It is so nice to have one morning where we can sleep in together, and act like a normal married couple. This morning I was blessed a by chorizo and egg breakfast (ladies, marry someone who loves to cook). :) Though I only get him until 2 pm, it is just so much fun to sit and talk, and maybe watch some funny videos on YouTube.

Saturday afternoons he heads to church to practice and then lead worship for the Saturday Night Life service...which means I get the house all to myself for a few hours. It is so fun to be able to surprise him with something when he comes home. Sometimes it's dinner, but lets be real, most of the time it is some random baked good I created. So to no avail, tonight I made two types of Paleo muffins, pumpkin almond chocolate chip, and double chocolate. He likes the pumpkin, I obviously love the chocolate (hint, hint, Bobby if you are reading this.)

I am always pleasantly surprised that something healthy can taste this good! We are not hardcore paleo-ists by any means, but I love being healthy. It is astounding how good we both feel when we eat right, and it has helped my hubby lose weight...he is looking amazing as well!

The Big Day

Since this blog is about becoming Mr & Mrs Frick, we might as well start with the greatest day of our journey so far...our wedding day.

When it happened...April 6th, 2013

Where it happened...Amado/Tubac, AZ

Who was there...our amazing family, friends and loved ones.

Without sounding too cheesy, this day was more than I ever could have asked for. For a year I had been praying with friends and dreaming with Bobby about what I wanted our day to be. Every detail, the message shared, and even who would walk me down the aisle; God and I talked about them constantly. We have such amazing friends who came early, helped decorate, kept the bride calm and the groom out of trouble. Without them, I don't know what we would have done.  To be honest, I have no idea how everything came together, but it did. Perfectly!

I can take no credit for all of the little miracles that occurred on that day, but I am so grateful that I was able to marry my best friend, and that all those whom we love were there to share it with us.

It was a day we will always remember, thank you to all of those who shared it with us!

So BIG NEWS!!!

If you haven't heard, the rumors are true...I am engaged! I told my friend Jose that they should check to make sure Hell hasn't frozen over! ;) Okay, I'm kidding, but it is kind of funny. For so many years I have talked about this day with my friends; in fact, my three best friends from high school and early college had already made predictions about the order we would we in. Turns out they might be prophetic, because we did marry in that order! Paige, Katie, Juliane, and Nicole have all surpassed me in getting to the wedding finish line; but I have taken my sweet ole' time. I even made friends with younger girls to give myself a buffer (thanks Courtney, Maggee, Alana, and others)! To be serious for a moment, I do not at all regret taking my time, and taking things slow. The last six years of my life (when I first met Frick) have been so crucial, and without this learning experience, I don't think I would be prepared to be a wife.

 I have learned, and continue to learn how to love others without selfish motivation, and how to except/allow others to love me. Of course, this process of loving and learning to accept love, all starts with God...the creator of LOVE. I would have no idea how to do any of this, if He had not first loved me. I constantly remind myself that love is more than a feeling, it is a choice, and sometimes a very hard choice. If I want to be loved, I must choose to love as well, even when I don't feel like it. I see the road that lies before me, and I am excited for the easy, peaceful, times; however, I am ready to take on the challenges that come when two messy people get together and try to create something beautiful. So bring it on!

Well I will keep you updated on wedding stuff here soon...but until then, start working on your "Frickin...jokes"
 Best joke of the day,

 Friend: Congratulations on your daughter's engagement.
My Mom: Oh, thank you.
Friend: Pretty soon you are going to have "Frickin" grandkids!

 With Love, Sarah

Nothing is By Accident

Nothing in our life is an accident. Nothing is pointless, worthless or a waste of time. Even our bad choices or that which seems accidental is not bigger than God. He takes those very things, re-shapes them and uses them in some way in our future. So what have you dealt with? What have you experienced? No matter what it is, you will see it again, or at least hints of it...but it will be redeemed. Just like my sinful soul was redeemed, so will every aspect of my life. How joyful, how wonderful, how amazing!
