6 Month Mark!
March is the 6 month mark for us! Woo hoo 
we've made it this far! How is married life for everyone? Any different that pre-marriage? Any plans for your 6 month anniversary? 1 year anniversary?
Re: 6 Month Mark!
Married life is the same as life was before. Except I don't have to worry or try to NOT get preggers. It's wierd thinking that I spent so long focused on trying to NOT getting pregnant and now i'm trying my hardest TO get preggers.
No plans for us. Josh is still working full time and school part time, so we don't get a lot of extra time together.
Blog
Married life is the same for Richard and I. People keep asking us if married life is different, but aside from my last name, and the fact that he now has dental insurance, everything else is the same.
I still love calling him my husband and remembering our wedding day. I can't believe it's already been six months. Where does the time go?
No plans for our 6 month anniversary. We're planning on going back to Hawaii for our one year and do a vow renewal on the beach. We considering Kauai or Oahu. We found great prices for about $750 each with airfare and hotel.
The only difference is we fight less seriously.
Before there was a lot of "fine, let's just call it quits!" and "I'm moving back to Tobago!"
Now we can't do that. Just have to suck it up and stick it out. We're stuck together forever.
It's kinda awesome.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
Married life seems the same here as well, except that I call him my husband and we have a wedding photo hanging in the dining room instead of an engagement pic.
We might plan a nice dinner out on the 25th or 26th depending on DH's work schedule only because skating and hockey will be over for the season and we will have some extra time on our hands to spend together.
For our one year I would love to plan a vacation, but we have three weddings that we are traveling 12+ hours round trip for and the are all happening within weeks of each other.
We are soo looking forward to enjoying our friends' weddings though and not have any stress with them.
Saturday was 6 months for us, but I ditto Shauni in that we've never celebrated month anniversaries. Aside from remarking about how quickly the 6 months has flown by, we didn't celebrate. We are talking about doing a 1-year trip, but probably something little because (1) we're going to London/Paris/So. France later this month and (2) we're going to PA in July. We'll see.
Debbie, that's crazy cheap. How long, for the $750? H really wants to go to Hawaii. I've been a few times, but certainly wouldn't mind going back.
Same as PP with not much has changed. I guess we're more "settled" now. And it's not a big deal if we get pregnant now. I kinda feel like we do more things together. For instance, when we were engaged he would go by himself to visit his family or something. Now we always go everywhere together (and I mean out of town).
No plans for 6 month anniversary or 1 year yet. We might do something in the summer since he'll (hopefully) be in school in September and it'll be the school year for me.
WHAT???? For our Maui, Hawaii HM our flights alone were 1600 (round trip) and our hotel for 5 nights was 2600. Total 4200 not including food or activities. Please share!! (we left from Dallas, Texas and it was a direct flight to Maui)
This Saturday will be 6 months for us. We're not big into celebrating monthly anniversaries either. However, I think we're going to end up going to see Jay Medicine Hat (hypnotist) at a comedy club on Sat night. We've seen him a bunch of times...even on our first official date we went to see him. Don called me this morning about going, but we try to see his every other time he's in town so we'd probably end up going even if it didn't happen to be our 6 month anniversary.
For our 1 yr we'll be back down in the outer banks w/ his family for that week.
Married life really isn't any different. Actually, I did notice we argue less so I'm assuming it was all wedding stress. Our 6 months is ironically on St. Patrick's Day and when I mentioned it to Tom he said "Double reason to drink!" But we're old farts and never go out for St. Patrick's Day anyway.
Then he decided to be real funny. He said "so why don't you get pregnant on 3/17 and then we can have a kid right before Christmas and name it Kris Kringle. No! ...(insert last name here) Kris Kringle. That'd be awesome!" After about a minute of my dumbfounded stare he finally says 'Okay, maybe not a good idea?"
No plans for our 1 year yet. I'd like to do something but if he doesn't find a job, we're definitely not going anywhere, and then even if he does, he might be too new with the company to take any vacation.
Married / The Cookaholic Wife
It feels like it has been forever since all of our weddings, but at the same time 6 months is so small in the grand scheme of things! Wow.
Being married so far has been amazing, although some days are better than others. I never imagined it could be this great. We've adjusted to all of the changes much easier than I thought we would, and I think we can thank communicating instead of lashing out at one another for that. Not to sound ridic, but things have honestly been better than ever, to be honest.
And now ofcourse, I have babierabies.
As of now, no big plans for 6 months, but we are planning to take a big trip/vacation this fall, after all the other 29837498732 things we have going on - so probably sometime in November.
I totally regret not booking it sooner, since airfare has blown UP in the past week. I hope it goes back down
I want to see white sand & blue water, damnit!
09.25.10
We have to wait for the 25th. No plans really. I'm sure we will go out to eat only because it is a Friday. We were never big on celebrating anniversaries, even years when dating.
For our year we will probably go to Key West. We normally got that time of year anyway because I get off for jewish holidays and I don't need to take much vacation time. Of course they don't totally coordinate this year like they did last year.
Married life is the same but I get to call him my husband. After being together6.5 and living together 4 I didn't think anything really would.
Where has the time gone??
Married life seems the same as before, but there are little tweaks here and there that make us feel more married. Mostly when I have to say my last name. But I'm loving it, I love being "newlyweds" even though we've been together forever.
Our 6 month anniversary is the day after St. Patty's so we'll probably be celebrating it by having headaches at work and getting greasy hangover food for dinner. Ahhhh....sweet romantic love.
Ditto all this, minus the Tobago part!
Ditto Brew and Alicia.
We are not anniversary celebrators at all, but we are going to Disney and returning two days before our year anniversary, so that's sort of our celebration.
6 months on the 25th? Either being in labor or enjoying our last few quiet days/weeks before the eviction.
We're not monthly anniversary celebrators either, but on the 25th of each month one of us usually reminds the other one. I'm sure that will stop - it's just kind of a neat way to mark time for now.
Can't believe it's almost 6 months for us already! Friday of next week is our day. We'll probably go out to dinner, but we are also not usually monthly anniversary celebrators.
H recently commented that next month will be our five year dating anniversary. I will be in California on the actual day and he was giving me a hard time about it. It's kind of cute he still considers that anniversary special, even though we probably won't celebrate it anymore - we'll start celebrating our wedding anniversaries instead!
For our one year we are going to Puerto Rico! Can't wait!
Everything's the same over with the King and Queen of Anything. We were together for 4.5 years before we got married and lived together for most of that (officially we moved in together after a year, but he lived in my apt for that first year). I'm finding owning a home more of a PITA than being married.
*grumbles about the stupid roof*
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
6 months for me on Sunday. Hoping we'll be all moved in by then.
Aside from my last name changing, I think things are pretty much about the same. Still in love with James some days even more but when do have our little fights we make up. The last 40 something days have been stressful due to the whole house thing and our lack of intimacy has also taken a toll on us too. Can't wait to have our own bed back.
