Thanks be to Kathy Dufault...and oh yeah we're married!
I was on the phone this evening with my friend Kathy who much to my delight informed me that she heard somewhere that newlyweds have up to a year to do their thank-you cards. I have been stressed with all of the things that I have to do and it calmed me down for a minute. Now I am obsessing about the papers I am supposed to be writing instead of this blog.We are married. 22 days into marriage I can say that it is hard...but it is good. We fight. We fought most of this weekend about money, trust, and I realized that I am married to the most stubborn man in the world. I think he also realized that he is married to the most stubborn woman in the world...but we finally resolved it. It took forever but we resolved it. It is so hard finding a middle ground when two people are convinced their way is correct.
I love him so much. Even when he does annoy me...he still has this special way of making me laugh and I cannot be angry. I love that he is helping to make our lives healthier by obsessing about chemicals and switching us to organic food. I love that he cleans. I love that he is considerate of my needs, even though I miss it sometimes. I love that we are learning how to be a unit. I love that I get to wack him in the middle of the night and tell him to roll onto his stomach so I don't have to hear him snoring. I love that sometimes I have someone to snuggle with if I want to and someone who is willing to sleep on the edge of the bed when I need space because I used to sleep diagonally(even though we have a queen size bed and their is plenty of room). I love that he brought me the last glass of the really good merlot last night just because he loves me. Oh yeah...I love that he makes me work things out even when all I want to do is shut down.
Now I am going to write my papers...
