Ok, it's been a while! I am back. Looks like a few things have changed since I last posted. I have been married now for five months. It feels like it has a been longer than that though. Being married is the best thing ever. Every morning I wake up next to my husband thankful for the blessing of marriage. My husband is the best person to be around. He makes me laugh, he trusts me, he encourages me and he also tells me when I mess up ( I need to hear that every once in a while=)). He made my birthday special and he buys me tummy medicine at 11 pm. I love hearing about couples who have been married for over 10 years. I wonder what we will be like then. Experiencing it firsthand is better than all the books you can read to prepare for it. My best friend recently got engaged and I was so thrilled to hear it. I was so happy and then the news came that she will be moving to New Mexico. My best friend who lived around the corner fifth grade through high school, who was my roomate for years, who I have shared half my life with. After I got off the phone with her I cried. I cried tears of joy/sadness. I will miss my friend but then I think about how my life has changed since marriage and I can't wait for her to experience it too. I was just reading on the plane ride home from Iowa "A Woman After God's Own Heart". It was saying that when you are married you are to cleave to your husband and this means that the first person you call when you need to talk is not your best friend anymore! I am still trying to work on the cleaving but I am realizing that all your other relationships are no longer the same. However, this is a small sacrifice for the huge blessing of marriage!!
I have to go bake a cake now. The newly engaged couple is coming over for dessert!
