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.
