Our New Life Together

Daniel and I decided we would like to start a blog. We will try to keep you “a little” up to date on our lives. The reason for our blog name (A Cord of Three Stands) comes from a verse in Ecclesiastes which was used at our wedding. "And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12 We want to always be reminded that it is through dependence on God alone that our marriage can stand the test of time.
Married life is wonderful! We enjoyed our first week and a half of marriage in New England. We flew in to Portland, Maine on Sunday evening and than on Monday we drove to Lisbon, New Hampshire, where we had a cabin for seven nights. The Lord blessed us with snow while we were there. They had not had any snow since January, but on Monday had a big snow fall. We felt the Lord provided it just for us. Everything was gorgeous driving up through the White Mountains with all the snow on the trees. We loved our little cabin! It had a kitchenette and fireplace, there was also small brook (half of which was frozen) that ran behind the cabin.

On Monday the 8th we drove to Vermont where we stayed at The Thatcher Brook Inn, a Bed and Breakfast for a couple of nights. The owners Bob and Carla were both so sweet. I would definitely recommend them if anyone is looking for some where to stay in Waterberry, VTDuring our time in New England we visited eight states, drove into Canada for a day, went to the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory and on a sleigh ride among other things. We came back on the 10th and enjoyed a few days here before Daniel went back to work the following Monday. We even went camping. This was a first for me and I found I really enjoyed it.

Well, that was a short recap of our first two weeks. Last week was not as fun as I spent most of it in bed with the flu. I am feeling better now, although I still have a cough. Now, I am just trying to figure out where I need to start organizing the house.

One more thing and I will close our first post out. Last Sunday the 21st, we had a shocker…………………….

A little Falkenstine will be joining us before the end of the year. Yes, you read it right, we are expecting. It wasn’t what we had planned, but Our Lord knows best. We are excited, but still in shock. I am feeling well, just a little dizzy at times. Please pray that all goes well and “Little Speedy” :) arrives safe and healthy.
