"Bored" Games
Andrew and I have been playing a lot of games lately due to the fact that we do not have jobs yet. We have been faithfully looking for jobs and applying for jobs, but there is so much you can do until God's timing is what He wants, not what we want. We have enjoyed the games and getting to spend time together. As of today, I am leading in wins for both games! These are two of our favorite games right now and if you have any other suggestions on games to try, please let us know! Also, if you are in the Sacramento-area, please give us a call because we would love to get together and play a game or two!

Our House
Welcome to the "younger" Finch household!
Our home in Sacramento, California
This is our room. The quilt and pillows were a wedding present from my mom whom she made it with a friend. We just bought the side tables last night which we are excited about.
The table which was a wedding present sits at the foot of our bed. Andrew bought me these giraffes as a one week anniversary present at Walt Disney World.
The three pictures sitting on our dresser. They all represent Walt Disney World and two out of the three frames are wedding presents.
If you come to visit us, look at the bed you would sleep on!
Our Kitchen where I cook up gourmet meals.
Our dining room with our kitchen wedding presents neatly organized in the corner.
The hallway that leads to the office and the guest bedroom.
Our unorganized office with storage boxes and other things! Needs to be organized more!Well, if you are ever in Sacramento, California and need a place to stay, please feel free to call us. We have an extra bed and we do not charge!
Random Things
There were some funny things that happened during our wedding as well as on our honeymoon plus one event at our house. We would like to share them with you.
1. Our two nieces Jazmyne and Jasmine decided not to drop any of the flowers on the aisle runner except a few and Jasmine Marie (the youngest one) decided it would be best to dump her whole basket on the stage. The next thing she decided to do was use her basket as a hat. I can hear people laughing and Andrew is watching all of this since my back is turned to the girls while facing Andrew.
2. For my bridesmaids attire I had them wear these cute purple satin high heels which everyone hated by the time the wedding ceremony actually started. This included my sister Saundra who was my matron of honor. I didn't chose a very good selection for any of my girls because all of them are really not used to wearing heels except Sarah. Well, right before the ceremony started we were in the hallway. My sister made it very clear that to pay attention to her signals because when she put her hand behind her back that meant all the bridesmaids had to bend their knees just to make sure they didn't faint. My father-in-law made sure the night before to let everyone to make sure their knees were bent that way we did not have anyone that would decide to faint. I thought this was the most hilarious thing that Saundra and the girls thought of. I wish I could have seen it because I would be funny to see 5 girls all at the same time do a little squat. By the way I did compensate my girls by buying them purple flip flops for the reception as part of their gift!
3. We actually did it! We did a high five instead of a kiss. I always told people that I would want to high five because I do not like PDA, well Andrew decided to high five with me! After we did that exchange, we actually did exchange a kiss!
4. I got Andrew real good in the face with our wedding cake. We took one tiny bite of the cake and whamo I got Andrew! Thank goodness I had running shoes on for my wedding shoes so then I could run away before he got me as bad as I got him!!!
5. Well, I think it was our second or third night of our honeymoon when I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I drank so much water during the days because of how hot it was, that I always had to go in the middle of the night. Well one night I was so out of it, I forgot where the bathroom was in our room. Instead of taking a left to go towards the bathroom, I decided to take a right which I was heading towards the deck. When I was "trying" to find the bathroom I ran into the chair that went with the table that was in our room and I got frustrated because I could not figure out why in the world Andrew put a chair in my way. After trying to figure this out, I asked Andrew why there was a chair and told him to turn on the light. Well comes to figure out that I was completely in the wrong spot of our room to use the restroom and I figured that out once Andrew graciously turned on the light. Once I made it to the restroom I had more troubles because my drawstrings got in a knot....but I finally successfully made it to the restroom.
6. Another bathroom story. So it was our first night by ourselves without anyone staying with us at our house. Andrew and I planned to sleep on the bed where I would be closer to the bathroom due to me always getting up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. Well, I had to use the restroom once again and normally I just roll right out of bed straight into the bathroom. Well, I was once again delirious and couldn't figure out where the bathroom was. I instead decided to use the guest bathroom which was down the hall outside our room. When I came back, Andrew was wondering where I went and asked "why didn't you just use the bathroom in our room?" I told him, "I didn't know where it was!" Well now that I am accustomed to our house I think I might not have these issues!
I might be posting more random thoughts or happenings in our marriage so far. I just wanted to share some tid bits from the wedding and honeymoon and our lives together. Some of you missed the wedding so I wanted to share with you what you missed!

Prayer Needed
Please be praying for Monica Hammer. She is newly married (about 6 weeks) and just lost her husband in a helicopter crash. Matt was a man of God who was fighting fires in Northern California in which he loved doing. Please pray for strength and that God would be glorified through all of this. Please pray that all that Monica does will be glorifying to God and that she would continue to seek after our great Lord in all that she does. Monica, God loves you so much and He has you in his loving arms! Please know that we all love you and are praying for you and both your families!
