Married Life

Nearly a year since my last blog entry. It's definitely been a pretty chaotic year. About a month after last entry, Derek and I got engaged! Since I am a crazy, I already had a wedding date in my head and was determined to have it. 

With six months to plan our wedding I began a quick spiral into becoming what some may call a bridezilla, but what I call a determined 30 year old woman who knows exactly what she wants and will have it. I did not have a wedding planner. I already had a theme for the wedding in mind so all I needed to do was execute it. We decided to have the wedding on my father's property since it is so beautiful, against the water, and large enough to accommodate my massive family. 

After a lot of arguments, bargaining, some tears, and finally some compromise we had the most beautiful and fun wedding anyone has ever been to. 

I am so proud to call Derek my husband. He has been such a trooper through the past year. Even though we argue ( a lot) we always come back to each other and he has been my biggest supporter since day one. 

We are constantly asked exactly two questions. The typical one: When are you having kids? And the other typical one, I suppose: How's married life?  Here are your answers. When we decide to have kids we will let you know. Until then, mind you own business hugs and kisses and sweet smiles. To answer the second question, married life is regular. It feels great, but the same. And we are totally fine with that. If anything, there is the lovely sense of calm. As calm as I can be at least. 

What I think is funny is that before we got married, everyone kept telling Derek that I would be letting myself go. I would be farting, no makeup, sweat pants all the time. All he could do was laugh at them and say, ummm she already does all that. Yeah, I was in a relationship for 5 years where I farted once and was ridiculed so I never did it again. I promised myself that would never happen again. So yeah, the tooting began pretty early. I eat a lot of fiber. What can I say?

Sorry Derek. 

Anyways, I am on my way to completing my second nutrition certification and enjoying life as an old married lady. Life is great. 

I'm gonna try to be more regular about this thing again. Talk soon!
