Well the wedding is over and I have survived my first day as a Mrs. The most challenging thing was trying to pick a gift for my neice's 7th birthday party today. Believe it or not, we actually agreed on what to get her the first time!! I am very greatful to all my friends and family that helped and came to the wedding. We are in awe of the tremendous show of love from you all!!
Now down to business.. My new husband got a call to finally go back to work Friday. He goes to the hall (He's in the union) in the morning to get the paperwork for the new job. We were hopeing to have the week together to celebrate, but I think that him working is much more beneficial to the marriage. I start my new job on the 25th and will be work clothes shopping with my Mother-in-Law this week. I really am very blessed to have in-laws that actually like me. I know this is not a common occurance, but hey Guess I lucked out...
I guess I should get off here as I think my hubby would like me to not be computing the night after the wedding...

Another day down....
It's down to 12 days til the big day. Went shopping with my almost mother in law today. Got an outfit to wear to the rehersal. Words cannot describe how lucky I feel that we get along so well. Finally getting the last things in order for the wedding. One downer is aparently spanx do not run by the sizing on the package. So it's back to the store tomorrow for another pair. Hmmm maybe I shouldn't try to hide the thighs as my dress has the same diameter skirt as a blimp.... I guess it's a good thing when the big stuff goes right the first time and the little stuff is where the issues are?
As I sit here watching the man play modern warfare 2 for the millionth time, my mind wanders. Will I make a good wife? When will the kids come? Will I even be a good mother to them?!? Who knows. We have good role models in both my parent's and his. I know I'm constantly being asked if his past bothers me. My answer: Why should it? We all make mistakes don't we? I thought that was how we learned. OK Ok, he is a slightly slower learner, but when was the last time you saw a man get it the first time? And god forbid they ask for directions or use instructions. Such is life, I guess.
Today the monkey went home. It's always awesome when she's here, but sometimes it's so tireing. Now for those about to say wait til you have children, my sister has 6 and I've helped with them all. I know this drill. She's 2 and that's all there is to it. The next time we have her will be the wedding weekend. Oh what fun!!
Oooh sorry, distracted by the game. Why is it you can be so sucked into something you really have no care about. Is it just me? I find myself yelling at the jerks he's playing against and even helping by spotting for his snipeing.... Wow!! That's all I have to say about that.
Guess it's time to say goodnight. These late nights are gonna leave me exhausted. I cry and get cranky when I'm over tired, and I REALLY don't want racoon eyes in wedding pictures my grandchildren may see in like 50 years.... OOOOOOH distracted again...

Almost there...
Well this is a new concept for me. Posting my life on the internet for anyone and everyone to see. I recently learned from a very special friend, that this is a great way to get things off your chest AND make sure people understand where you are coming from.... Please bear with me on all accounts. This is very new to me, both blogging and married life.
Ok with that said, It's 2 weeks til the wedding. We are both very stressed and excited. My mother, God love her, is the reason this wedding is able to be. Don't take that the wrong way, I love her immensly and am over-joyed that she is helping more than we ever thought she could. But she is the one person on earth, other than the other half, that can make me crazy with a look.
Ok, ok, ok. I'll not complain and explain. I am 30, well 31 in 10 days. I have no idea how life un-single works. My soon to be husband has been married twice before. This is absolutely not an issue as I have known him for almost 20 years and he has been my bestest friend for the last 5. He comes in with a beautiful 2 year old little girl, who is our world(when she's here). I've been here since she was born.... This ofcourse makes me the evil step mother and all the fun of the baby-momma. His mother is wonderful. I love the woman!! I know that's a rareity with inlaws. My parents and family love him the same way. We almost seem like the perfect couple, even though we would never set such high albeit false labels for ourselves.
So I guess the best way to ends this is, Here we go!!!! We are 2 average american sweethearts with all the baggage of almost middle age, trying to start a new life TOGETHER. These are the adventures of a (almost) Newly-Wed!!!
