So for our valentines day Jordan and I decided to stay in. While we were on our honeymoon one of the days it was raining so we watched some TV (not much else to do at a beach resort) and they made duck on the food network. I gave it a try and it turned out great!

Everything on the table includes the Duck a l’orange, twice baked herb potatoes, and sesame garlic asparagus with a glass of Cotê de Rhone.

Then for dessert Jordan made these amazing chocolate lava cakes. ohhhhh gooie fudge goodness.

Yesterday I took Jordan on our first runaway date since we got married last month. We drove up to Duluth for the day and skied it up at Spirit Mountain. It was super good but very cold. For Jordan this is a first, and she did really good! We’re both looking forward to getting out there and ’shredding’ it up again.

I have fallen off of updating this blog lately, and I’m not completely sure why. It was a struggle last semester and has presented itself the same this semester. My plan is to take idle time in between classes to sit down and update this on at least a weekly basis.

I also haven’t had a podcast up in months, will try to put something together soon for that as well. It just snowed here today so we’ll have to see if there is something that will come of that.

It’s now been a month since we got married. Kind of a crazy month shifting from wedding planning, honey moon, moving in, and back into college life. There has been a lot of transition going on in my life, and most of it is intangible.

I’m so grateful that I am a Christian in a Christian marriage. It gives me such encouragement to know that everything is in God’s hands, that he has put us together to encourage and challenge one another as well as to bring Him glory. I’m not one to even pretend to understand how this is working.

What I do know is that in the times when I am truly resting an trusting Him with the details my patience and understanding are so much greater with Jordan. It allows me to look at the situations that we find ourselves in and be able to smile and enjoy the moments.

I’m in the process of modifying paulandjordan.com into blog form and it will become a place for us to post about our ministry involvement and lives. Should be cool to see happen and evolve. I hope to keep more up to date on how that change is taking place.
