Balanced

Almost six months into our marriage and the best word I can use to describe our life is “balanced.”
Synonyms like calm, tranquil, stable, and steady elaborate on its context.
We are very much all of those words amidst the biweekly grocery shoppings and weekly laundry cleanings.
Our days are filled with routine but a calm harmony exists between the walls we call home…
Arriving from work, eagerly awaiting my husband’s warm reception when he returns from his day on our old grey couch that sinks in and hurts our backs,
Waking up to his breath, and never wanting to leave the warmth of his strong soft chocolate skin and entangled legs,
Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and having him say "Babe, when you come back, hug me."
Savoring the youthfulness of Sunday morning pillow fights and “tag, you’re it” running up and down our stairs.
This is our home.  Our first home.
And our first year of oneness.
We are your average husband and wife seeking after His kingdom.
Choosing daily to get past our disagreements and arguments with conversation, forgiveness, and grace.
The home we are cultivating is one that will be drastically different from our upbringing – a life where neither one of us had a Christ-fearing marriage couple as an example for our lives.
We choose daily to be that transformational generation for our family.
The Jordan home - always seeking more.
