The most surprising thing about being married...
Question to you ladies:
What (so far) has been the most surprising thing you found/discovered about being married?
For me, its been how quickly I would be tested on my vows! Its like the universe is just checking to be sure I meant it when I said "For better or for worse, richer or for poorer, in sickness & in health, etc." As I told Hubby, I'm in this for the long haul, so the freakin universe can just move along now and let us get our life get back to normal!
BTW - I'm still struggling with remembering to sign my married name!

Re: The most surprising thing about being married...
LOL, we were also tested on our vows immediately! We got the stomach flu the day we got back from our honeymoon! So we spent the next 2 days huddled together in the fetal position clutching our tummies.
And I am struggling to sign my married name too. I haven't perfected the way I want it to look yet, so I keep practicing! I was in a training for work on Friday and I spent the time doodling my new name in my notebook. LOL

I also feel like our vows have been tested. As many of you know, my H's father had a stroke the saturday after the wedding and has been in the hospital since and last thursday was transferred to a nursing home for the long term. It has been VERY rough on everyone. "For better or worse" is exactly how our marriage started. We had a week to worry about just us and then "boom" we are dealing with a major family sickness. I feel that this crisis so early in our marriage has brought us super close and the family super close. I'm just so glad that I am walking this bumpy road by my husbands side as his wife. I'm glad I'm the one who is there to comfort him after a long day and the one to be holding his hand as we walk into his dad's room and not knowing what today is going to bring.
I absolutly LOVE married life and can not remember what life was like before December 11th.

"In sickness and in health" has been relative to our household too. H is still recovering from his wisdom teeth (got an infection) and we're heading towards the 2 week mark. I'm looking forward to being able to cook up some solid food again!!!
I think two interesting things going on in our extended families right now are:
a. The push for grandchildren/nieces and nephews.
b. The increased interest in marriage from cousins/siblings.
Small thing...everything seems to be a team decision which is not a bad thing. I also think the transition has been easier than I thought especially with all the financial accounts/bill paying.
I'm surprised that MORE people aren't push us right away to have the kidlings. My mom was dying for grandkids before the wedding and it seems things have died down.
how much I love my new name!
I'm still not using it at work though. I need to keep working on my signature for sure.
Where we met - Mount Isa
a small mining town in the Australian Outback. Neither of us are from there but we both moved there in the second last year of highschool. He was moved next to me in maths class to stop him talking. It didn't work.

I'm actually the complete opposite. Everybody kept telling us that marriage was going to be so different, and I'm kinda surprised at how same it is. Of course, we've lived together for 4 1/2 years, so we're just that much more settled, lol
I would say we have been tested as well. Hubby's parents are going through a really nasty split up, which has not been good for hubby and his views on marriage. We moved across the country together and we're living in a basement (his boss's basement) and it turns out this job we moved for isn't what we were promised. Hubby is making almost zero money and I have to work in a bar. He works days, I work nights, and we only have my tips coming in.
It's been a little rough. But we would never in a million years let any of it get between us. Thankfully.
