Married Life

our "blue steel" faces

Well we've finally tied the knot! Eight years of us proclaiming our love for one another and now it is legal (yayyy!!!) We are so happy to open this door and see what the future holds for us. It's been a little over a month and trying to do all of the post-wedding stuff is exhausting! We have yet to send out the thank you notes. We are really bad at procrastinating though. I finally went to the social security office to change the s.s. card. Now just have to wait a couple weeks until it comes in the mail to go change the driver's license and hopefully get a new passport as well.  But really, married life is wonderful! We've become so much closer in this past month and it feels AWESOME! Even though right now I feel too young to want to expand our family, I have been looking forward to the future and in hopefully a few years we can start settling down and thinking about such things. Although I probably am a little behind...some girls I went to high school with already have 3, 4, or 5 kids. I can't imagine having that right now. But someday.... 

One of the best books I have read (in the past few years at least) is Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. I have started to re-read it, and gosh it really does make you go through an emotional rollercoaster. I have also started Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (thanks to a dear friend who has recommended it for months now). It is really a funny book! It also kind of gives you an emotional rollercoaster. Anywho, with work and reading these books and being married and cooking and rewatching Ugly Betty, I haven't really gotten super far in these books. Granted, one of them I have already read, so it's not a reading priority like Water for Elephants. They are really good and I am excited to read what happens next in Water for Elephants.

So, to sum it up, married life is wonderful/amazing/fabulous/awesome/fun and we've both been working so much lately that it will be soooo great when we finally get a mini-break in September when we attend Dragon-Con in Atlanta. It will be my first time going and his second. But we can't wait (and looking at the lineup of who will be there, I am getting even more excited just thinking about it!!!). Yay for married life!
