Day 6 of Honeymoon

Sorry this took me so long, but I'm going to try to finish up the story of the Honeymoon!

So on Friday, Seth and I woke up and had a fairly leisurely morning. We went to the cafe on the resort for breakfast and walked on the beach for a bit.

Then around 11:15 or so, we headed over to the zipline place to sign our lives away and meet up with the other people in the group to be bused over to the mountain. We were going to be ziplining back and forth over a valley, which was pretty cool, and we would also be fed lunch. Yum!

Here we are in our gear:

Even though I'm afraid of heights, this was actually a lot of fun, though it was harder than I thought it would be. You have to fling yourself off one ramp and then run up the next one in order to land. I was pretty bad at the landing and tended to slide up the ramp on my butt.

We were up there for about four hours and had lunch, which was pretty nice. There were eight lines that got longer and longer until the last one was about 1000 feet and you ended up going around 30 mph between the two points. It was awesome!

After that, Seth and I headed back to our resort to relax and watch the sunset.

One Month

We've been married one month!

It's kind of funny because on one hand, it seems like hardly any time has passed since we've gotten married, so it's almost hard to believe it's been a month already. Plus I haven't completed my name-change business, which I had assumed wouldn't take me that long to do, haha. On the other hand, it feels like our wedding was so long ago...

Some people ask "How's married life?" and it's always hard to answer this question. Sometimes I go "Great! It's going great!" but sometimes I got "Eh, it's the same." To be honest, it is the same. Seth and I had been living together for over three years and we already owned a house together. Nothing has really changed except that I have a little more bling on my finger and now Seth wears a ring. Sometimes it's hard to remember to call him my "husband" because I'm so used to the "boyfriend" title which he had for five years before we got engaged. But there's also been this sense of relief... I had wanted to marry Seth for so long and marriage was something that was really important to me. I wanted to have that before starting a family. I wanted the sense of security that I felt I would receive when I got married. And I have received it, although I think that security really took place before the wedding. I don't ever have that knot in my stomach that's followed by "what ifs". I feel so secure in our relationship now and I'm finally stress-free of having to plan things! Although lately I've been planning parties, haha. And my Maid of Honor is getting married in June, so I'll be busy for the next few months!

We probably won't really celebrate tonight, though I'm thinking I'll make one of Seth's favorite meals and force him to use one of our wedding napkins since we have so many left. We'll see.
