Back from the honeymoon!

We are officially back from our honeymoon in Jamaica! We had so much fun and it was great to be able to start off our marriage with some time away from everyday life.

Being married has been so amazing so far. I feel so incredibly secure, confident, happy, and loved. The realization that he is my husband and that we get to spend every night together makes me so happy. Of course, there's some stress with knowing that I'm going to have to cook dinner every night and be more proactive on keeping up our apartment, but the benefits far out-weigh the stress of it all.

Yesterday was my first day back at work. It was nice to be able to ease into it since one of my classes is gone for the week. Phil had taken off yesterday so we were able to run a bunch of errands together. I started the name-change process (which I hope to finish today) and I can't wait for it to be official! We also went to the grocery store and stocked up so that I can start menu-planning for the week ahead and always know what's for dinner.

I have a lot on my plate this week, but it's great to be back and to be able to start our lives together. We're working on getting into a routine at night and I need to get back into the gym, but that will all happen in due time. For now, I'm just going to take it one moment at a time.

Let the Good Times Roll

Looking back from where I have been to where I am now I have come to realize how incredibly lucky I am to be at this point now. Here are things I can not seem to get over...

  • Eventhough my family is far away we still manage to keep in contact and maintain a good relationship despite the distance.
  • I have only one more short year left until I have my bachelor's degree!
  • My new job is going really well. Going there makes me feel appreciated, accomplished, and valuable.
  • I have a place to call my own (despite not actually sleeping there yet, but that's coming soon...)
  • My cat has a happy home with Snuggles and I get to see her whenever I want!
  • And last but not least I have an amazing boyfriend who not only loves me, but his family has shown me so much love over the past seven months too. I don't know what I would have done without them.

I can honestly say that there isn't much to complain about right now considering all of the good things that are happening. It's so great to finally feel happy and optimistic again!
