No One Said It Would Be Easy

And it is sure not. So here we are married and living in our first house together. Ah, Bliss! Not quite. We got married two months ago, two weeks ago my hubby lost his job. That's great. Not only that but it happened to be two days until we left for our family Vegas Vacation. It was almost a disaster! We went on the trip anyway with the support of my father and step mother but the mood was somber at times. Luckily, yesterday he started a new job so it didn't last long. Talk about a bump in the road though.
Now, we lived together before we got married (sinners, I know) and so I thought nothing would be different after the vows. Boy, was I wrong. I had no idea how much the words "until death" can really change the way you look at a person. You know that really endearing thing your significant other does that nobody but you thinks is cute? Yeah, it's not. You don't realize it's not until you do realize you will witness it everyday for the rest of your life. I don't know if anyone has seen "When Harry Met Sally" but there is a line that I am going to paraphrase for you here: when I was single I thought I would always be alone and now that I am married I will NEVER be alone again! It sounds awful but if you are happily married, and I actually am happy, you know what I'm talking about.
I am finding out that the first year really is hard but we are doing well this far so if we can just live through the next 10 months I think we will be fine the next 70 years or so.
