Married Life

Well...  we've been married a whole 22 days now...lol   Not an incredible amount of time by any means, but I cannot tell you the number of people who have asked me in those days what it's like to be a married lady or how married life has changd us.  So far it's about the same..  Of course it's not like we were the traditional couple courting, dating, long engagement, etc.   When we made the decision to buy a house, we knew our lives would be one...rings or not.   

I will say that John continues to amaze me every day in the love that he has for me.   While I try to be an optimist, I still have moments of fear that this is all a dream...but he's so wonderful and reminds me I'm stuck wth him...lol..  One of these times was last night...we were having a great day, enjoying watching the PSU game at the Elks.. and something he said struck me wrong...  so, I got quiet...and grumpy.   The ride home was unusually quiet, with me getting angry.   It was all crazy in hindsidght...but you know those moments you just want to be a grump?   We got home...I went to change clothes & sulk, seeking further into grumpy mode...when he came in, hugged me, apologized & told me how much he loved me.    THen later as we were watching a movie about a woman who after being in 27 other weddings finally finds her love and at the end, he's saying someing about "the moment she turned the corner & I saw her in that gown, I knew..."   John then said the same...about me--and yup both in tears realizing how silly we'd been.

So...have things changed....   I suppose so...  change is the only constant after all.    The change is the continuing knowledge of knowing somene cares that much...whether you are sad, happy, goofy or grumpy.
