Kevin and I got married about a week and a half ago! Wedding day was easily the best day of my life thus far and my happiness hasn't been much dimmed since then.
Everything went smoothly the whole day long. People showed up, we didn't goof our vows, flowers were present and beautiful, the food was great, the music was awesome (the dance floor was hoppin'), we got a bazillion compliments and well-wishes and gifts, and in the end: we were a married couple! We got to see and talk to people that we don't normally get to see and talk to and spend time with family that came into town the week before and just relax and enjoy ourselves. We recently got our photos back and are thrilled with them. The whole experience was just SO positive. I felt completely emotionally uplifted that day and since then too which really is awesome.
Married life since the wedding has been wonderful. Being able to spend time with Kevin and see him before I go to sleep and when I wake up has been excellent. We didn't live together before the wedding so getting to know each other that way is, right now, fun and enjoyable for me. He really is my best friend and I just could not be happier about our relationship and how things are going for us as a couple. Some of the cynical might say that we've only been married for a week and a half and that we should just wait until we've been together longer to find out just what married life is like. I honestly don't think that I will always be this happy with how things are in my life. But for now I'm blissfully contented and I plan to enjoy it to the fullest.
If any of you readers out there have any recipes that you would like to share with us we would be glad to have them. I know many of you have already contributed some but, of course, the more the merrier! :) Cooking has become our new best friend as we've been preparing breakfasts/lunches/dinners together and we would love to try new recipes out on our beautiful new pots/pans/etc.
The next project, which I've been putting off a little, is finding a job. Worse comes to worse we can still live here and be subs and/or find other part-time work... but I want (NEED) a classroom of my own! I'm excited to be a teacher and I'm really looking forward to being gainfully employed (for "grown-up" money).
Hooray for things going well and for me being happy!
