New Wife Life

This last week has been a blur. My Granddad passed away, so I’ve been pretty out of it. I did make chili this week, which was really delicious. I made it without a recipe, so I’m pretty proud about that.

I’m trying to cook more at home so we don’t eat out as much. We got two new cookbooks and some appliances as gifts, so I’m excited to use those recipes and cooking toys.

I think the initial giddiness of being married has worn off. Probably more quickly than most, since there’s a funeral to go to and some family drama to deal with.

But hey, that’s life, right? I mean, you watch these shows and movies and they show these borderline dysfunctional families and portray that as ideal. It’s not. Life happens. There’s not always a happy ending. The hero doesn’t always win. And that’s okay.

The important thing is to remember what is important to you. For me, that’s my family and friends. Jason is here for me, he is supporting me and I am so happy and grateful to have him in my life.

My first week as a wife was amazing. I spent my first three days in Savannah, and that was absolutely perfect. I had to go to work afterwards, but it was worth it.

I wish I didn’t work 3rd shift, because I don’t get to sleep with my husband very often. But, such is the way of life. I’m looking for a new job, either within the company or a new company in general. But until then, I’m doing what I can to make things work.

Seeing the ring on my finger makes me absolutely giddy with love. If I start to feel bad, I just look at my rings and remember the wedding and put vows and am happy again ☺️

We went to Savannah, GA and Hilton Head Island, SC.
