Going before a judge to approve our marriage on Tuesday. Please pray that we’d have the words to speak that the judge would see the good in our marriage.

83 days until our wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is awesome. It’s crazy. Getting married is awesome. Larissa Whiteley makes marriage awesome. She’s perfect for a man. She knows what I need and is willing to give it to me. She helps me with my brain injury.

This weekend, my family helped me to move into the future Murphy residence. It is so fun to be able to set up a home that will eventually be for Ian and I. It encourages me when I look back on how far we have come- the fact that we can live on our own is a miracle. I need to keep looking back to give me faith to look ahead.

As a side note, there is a camp in eastern Pennsylvania for children with brain injury who are in need of male counselors from June 13-18. My cousins have worked as this camp for years and asked if I knew anyone who would be interested.

Sorry that I haven’t been posting much over the past few days. On Monday I began a new full-time marketing position at a local bank, so our schedule is a little bit different.

We had a celebratory dinner in Pittsburgh last night to celebrate signing a lease on our first place as a married couple! Our friend Jessica who is a local relator helped us find a perfect ranch house to rent. I’ll be moving out a month from now and Ian will join me in August.

“You that are lowest on the scale of visible joy, you that are broken like a shipwreck, you that are a mass of pain, you that are in poverty, will you give your Lord a good word? Will you say, ‘Though He slay me, yet I will trust him.’
