6 Months of Marriage

Wow-a full 6 months of marriage under our belts and it could not have gone any quicker! But at the same time April feels SO long ago. We got married in April? That was basically last year, right? I find myself continuing to ask myself when things occurred. So far it’s been good. Hard work-as with any relationship married or not-but could be wayyy worse. There’s a sense of “oh crap it’s really officially official now!” once it’s done, but for the most part things haven’t really been any different. I think we were smart to have already taken care of the biggie stuff (helloooo house!) beforehand, so we weren’t stressed about that or having to learn each other's, ahem, bad living habits, after it was too late. Stinky socks can be a deal breaker for some people! And with anything in life it's comes with learning lessons and knowing when to pick your battles, but at the end of the day this is the person I chose to do life with and I wouldn't change a thing! 

I mayyyy still need to get my license updated. I’ll go this week I promise! But I am to the point that when I type my “old” name it feels strange since I type my “new” one at work all the time. Now we get junk mail. It still feels a little “omg really” to me when I’m introduced as a WIFE. A wife?!! That’s my mom! Hahahha. 

We have our first summer under our belts. I haven’t lost my ring in the lake or pool yet-so that’s a plus. Knock on wood. Our first crop of Holidays are coming up, which are always exciting. My mom beat me to the punch the other day and said she was excited already for Thanksgiving. All I can think about is green bean casserole at Christmas! Hopefully we can work something out and visit all families for everything and also maybe start some new traditions of our own? Some Christmas morning Texas-shaped vanilla chocolate chip waffles DO sound pretty good to me! Thanks to our handy dandy Texas waffle maker. Yum. 

So our next 6 months should be a breeze with so many exciting things coming up! A 5K this weekend, a Halloween tailgate, family birthdays (November is busy!), the Holidays, a brand spanking New Years. Not to mention cooler weather so I can finally wear my new boots that the Hubby surprised me for my birthday!  

With as much can negativity in our world these days I feel it's more important than ever to be thankful and appreciative of every opportunity and chance to live this life and not take it for granted! Not everything in my world is always positive, but I chose to make decisions that can only make us better!

A few of our wild moments thus far include a return trip to NYC, lake days and 4th of Julys, a impromptu trip to the apartments that we first met, a wedding, north Texas tailgates, and of course our annual fair day. What's next!?
