Hello, everyone!
I hope you are all having a great morning. I just wanted to take a moment to post to the board here for the first time! We recently (as of May) moved into our apartment in Wakefield and are loving married life! We got married July 15 and feel about the same as we did before we were married--does anyone else feel that way? Before we moved here, I was living in Phoenix for 4 years and BOY is Boston different from Phoenix. I feel very out-of-touch with living here (other than my hubby, of course). All of my friends seem to be in AZ and I hope that this board can help settle some of the homesickness I feel from my big move out here to be with my husband!
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this! And hello!

Re: Hello, everyone!
Welcome to the city and to the board!
A lot of the board regulars have been married for years, me included, but I think it's pretty common to feel like not much changes after marriage from a day-to-day perspective, especially if you lived together before the wedding.
Moving to a new city can be hard but hopefully you'll start meeting people soon. Do you do sports? If so, check out the Boston Ski & Sports Club for info on fun events, leagues, etc. DH and I play volleyball with them. You could also give MeetUp a try, though I've never really used it.
Hopefully you'll come to love Boston. No offense, but I much prefer it to Phoenix. More restaurants, things to see and do, etc. We go to the Phoenix area once a year or so to see MIL. I hope you're prepared for winter though and that this one is milder than last year's craziness!
Welcome! We are in the process of relocating to the area as well, so I know your pain although I am in Philly, so there is not the climate shock.
DH and I have been together for almost 8 years and married 3 1/2 and I agree with you, there really was not a big difference once we got married. We owned a home, had joint bank accounts, and lived together before, so the only real difference is that my name changed and I got some extra bling.
I hope you come to like Boston too. At least you don't have to worry about your feel melting into the pavement in the summer.
I felt like nothing changed when we got married- we had lived together for a few years and already purchased our house. I think if you live together before the wedding, then all that really changes is your legal status.
