october love.
What a month October has been! We got our first hint of cold weather here in College Station, and suddenly, fall started appearing EVERYWHERE. Since living in our own place, I became a tad obsessed with the natural elements of the season and desperately racked my brain for creative {cheap} ways to bring a bit of the fall excitement into our home. So, my dear friend Kate and I made a Saturday morning trip to the farmers market in Bryan. Kate bought lots of veggies to continue her healthy eating, but since we do not eat healthy foods in our house.....(HA!) I took the opportunity to find some beautiful fall decorations for the Robbins home!!!
Unfortunately, I did not buy EVERYTHING you see, but the top left picture is the fall update to our home.
In other news....
So with a sigh and a smile I think back on our first October as the Robbins. Eventful and sweet. I'm ready for cooler weather to come and stay, and to maybe have a night at home with the hubby, cuddled up and drinking tea.
Love.

| Our FCA Fields of Faith Rally in Bryan. We worked for 2 months to make this event happen! Such a success! |
 |
| I got to meet up with some of my favorite girlies from Abilene for a fun girls weekend in Waco. We got manicures, ate LOTS of food, and laughed and laughed! So refreshing and fun! |
 |
| My birthday was on the 23rd! I got so spoiled with gifts and calls from family and friends. A dear friend gave us a gift card to Luigi's, a fancy Italian restaurant in CS so I was spoiled with an AMAZING birthday dinner!! |

expectations, go to.....
If it wasn't obvious from the lack of a post in the past month, moments to sit, process and enjoy have been few and far between. It doesn't help that our house is currently lacking in the internet department.....we don't have it. My favorite past time of browsing, piddling and perusing has been greatly decreased, whether to my dismay or benefit is up for debate. It does cause a bit more productivity in my life I'd say.
The journey to becoming a "wife of noble character" has been not quite the adventure I expected (a word that is used here, but is quickly becoming a 4 letter word in our house). I spent the first few weeks of our marriage cleaning continually, washing every dish as it was used, making the bed every morning, and cooking dinner. Every night, every day, every spare moment. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't slaving away to a tyrannical husband who demanded the highest for me. I was TOTALLY digging having my OWN home to keep up with my OWN way. So, when in the past few weeks dishes have all but become mountainous, Justin runs out of clean clothes, and we have eaten out 6 of the past 7 dinners, I became a tad bit depressed : ( ((whimper whimper))
4 weeks, and fewminor major meltdowns later, I am realizing a few things that I think every married woman should know. WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS! Oh wait, they did, but my silly little (expectations) got the best of me. So, a few truths that I am repeating to myself, today, tomorrow, maybe forever.
1. My husband loves me, and it is not contingent on the present order/chaos of our house.
2. I am in college, I have tests, I cannot cook dinner every night. Oops.
3. I am a woman. That means I am feminine. I DO NOT have to prove this fact by being the ultimate housewife of the year.
4. Jesus is my hope---not a clean house, or a perfect marriage, or a made up face every day.
5. I have a full and happy life, so what if I miss a few classes or bomb a few tests. EEEEEK
6. God is for me. He is for my marriage.
So, I will choose to believe that every day. It took a little reminder, in the middle of a meltdown. Sitting in a coffee shop, a song came on screaming "EXPECTATIONS, GO TO HELL."
and I agree
love.
