I'm Bored...
.... tell me some things.
1 Thing that surprised you about marriage?
2 Things that haven't changed, but you thought would?
3 Things that have changed since you've been married?
4 Things you're looking forward to in 2011?
Re: I'm Bored...
2. I can't really think of anything I thought would change, but didn't.
3. I stop being scared that each fight is going to lead to our breaking up. I also stopped putting so much emphasis on every single fight. We bicker, but it's not a huge deal, to either of us. I also didn't expect to be so ready to start TTC right after we got married. I figured it would be at least a couple of months!
4. MOVING. David finishing his EMT course. Our first anniversary (we're going to go away for the weekend) and starting TTC.
Books read in 2012: 21/50
Girl - you were up early for a Saturday!
1 Thing that surprised you about marriage?
How relaxed I feel about my relationship. I waited a long time in my mind for him to be ready, and he has just embraced it. I'm so glad he's relaxed about it too.
2 Things that haven't changed, but you thought would? Nothing really.
3 Things that have changed since you've been married? I've had baby fever. I knew it was coming but just not how emotional I would get seeing my friends kids. I would like to start right away but again I need to ease him into the idea.
I do a lot more laundry too.
I sleep more peacefully and don't worry so much about getting stuck somewhere on the roads or break-ins and such. Silly but I feel really safe.
4 Things you're looking forward to in 2011? Planning our next trip. TTC. Calm.
1 Thing that surprised you about marriage? Just how wonderful it really does feel. I went a long time thinking that I would never find "the one". I sort of pinch myself everyday and realize that this wonderful man chose me. Sorry for the sentimental answer!
2 Things that haven't changed, but you thought would? Nothing really comes to mind.
3 Things that have changed since you've been married? A lot has changed in our lives as far as me moving to a new city to be with him, starting a new job with a different schedule, even down to going to a new church. It's all a lot of new. We're doing great though!
4 Things you're looking forward to in 2011? TTC (started this month), going to Alaska to visit SIL & BIL, hopefully selling my house back home, just living life and enjoying the ride.
And the biggest surprise? I don't have insane baby fever. I do want to TTC soon, really I do, but I feel this amazing peace about the fact that we have to sort these medical issues out first.
2 Things that haven't changed, but you thought would? Um, I thought we'd have more time. Seriously, we lived apart until after the wedding and I felt like living separately took a lot of effort and that consolidating our lives would give us more free time together and a home to entertain friends in more often, etc. While it's nice to live together now, we have other things to eat up our time and we still have to make sure we are purposeful about our schedules. And we really need to invite some friends over instead of being hermits!
3 Things that have changed since you've been married? Covered some of that above.
4 Things you're looking forward to in 2011? Making some career changes. TTC. Taking some fun trips together with our extended families.
1 Thing that surprised you about marriage? I've been getting frustrated at the smallest things - dishes, recycle bin, just dumb stuff. I am not normally like that, so it surprises me.
2 Things that haven't changed, but you thought would? Well, before the wedding, I was reallllllllly stressed out, mostly with work, and certain, ahem, things took a back seat. I was hoping that we could get back on track in that department, but we haven't quite worked it out yet.
3 Things that have changed since you've been married? Not a whole lot... I love the sense of calm that I have about our relationship. I waited a long time for DH to be ready, so now we're just kinda chillin and enjoying each other, and I'm not constantly thinking about the next step.
4 Things you're looking forward to in 2011? Getting a new job, so that hopefully we can start TTC. (Okay, so I am thinking about this next step, but not every minute like I was the wedding.) Having more downtime to work on our house and get some decorating projects checked off my to-do list. Hopefully a fun vacation this summer, as husband and wife.
1 Thing that surprised you about marriage?
Well, I'm not quite sure if anything is surprising me
2 Things that haven't changed, but you thought would?
That H would give in to me more easily
Like about trading in his manual car for an automatic. Still working on that...
3 Things that have changed since you've been married?
I've gained weight. Ugh. Not much though, and nothing I can't lose easily, thank goodness
4 Things you're looking forward to in 2011?
Going on a trip to the east coast, getting a new job, our housemate moving out, family having babies (!!), and a nice, warm (please God) summer.
Oh ladies, I'm so looking forward to hearing about all your LOs!!
Married 11/6/10
1 Thing that surprised you about marriage? I guess just how smooth everything is going - I didnt expect much to change but I did expect some tension with sharing $ for the first time, just due to the adjustment but so far so good - its been such a relaxing change compared to planning a wedding
2 Things that haven't changed, but you thought would? Nothing really...
3 Things that have changed since you've been married? Just how relaxed things are now that the planning is over, and the baby fever is crazy which is odd since I never planned to have kids right after marriage - we're still waiting but I'm having some major unexpected baby fever.
4 Things you're looking forward to in 2011? My husband just started his own Insurance Agency so I'm looking forward to watching the business grow and saving $$ for the future (house, family etc) EDIT: Also cant wait for my nephew to be born in June
