On Being Together 20/7

Some of you may be wondering if Andrew and I are driving each other crazy after being together SO much all the time.  It's true, we are together about 20 hours every day, more on the weekends.  Pretty much the only time we are ever apart is when we are teaching (but even then, our classrooms are right next to each other!).  Otherwise we eat, sleep, sing, pray, work out, shop, walk, clean, swim, and brush our teeth together, side by side.  I thought we might get on each others' nerves, but so far so good.  Of course I'd be lying if I said that we're always happy with each other 100% of the time... there are times when that's NOT the case.  But another benefit of being together so much is that we can't hide it or walk away from each other... nope, we've got to sort it out and work it thru on the spot.  We both agree that we've grown a bit in our marriage since arriving here, even though it's only been 7 weeks, which is great!  Thank you again to all of you who are praying for, keeping us in your thoughts, and encouraging us with phone calls, emails, etc.  You mean tons to us!!
