Ahh...wedded bliss! Not really. I don't know what everyone flips out about. It's not all that different from when we were engaged. We still work together. We still work as a team. The only big difference is my new last name (and first name too, but that's another story).

Just a (not so) little side rant....

Why do people ask newlyweds if they're still happily married? Do they really expect things to fall apart in 2 weeks? When you've been together for 4 1/2 years and living together for 2 years, you're out of that gooey romantic crap phase. It's not like we went into this marriage thing blind. We both knew what we were getting. We've had our share of no-holds-barred, knock-down-drag-out fights, but we got through them. Really, I think that's the bond that holds really good marriages together....the ability to fight and work through it. The ability to say this relationship is worth working for, fighting for, and when necessary, giving in for. We've both been saying that for years so I don't see what a little piece of paper can really add to that.

*Deep breath*
Ok...rant over.

So it's been a little more than a month after the wedding and life is pretty much back to its normal hectic pace. Two of our friends have decided to get married this fall after finding out on our wedding day they were pregnant. My best friend (and matron of honor) found out the day before our wedding she finally conceived (they've been trying for over a year). My hubby's back in grad school making up for the class he missed this spring preparing for the wedding. And that means I'm winding myself back up to take over the household operations and keeping both of our schedules straight.

Ah...married bliss!
