24 January, 2009

Wil and I have been newlyweds for almost eight months.

Our first date was on Friday 13 October, 2006 -- bad omen? No way!! We fell for each other immediately. This quiet shy, romantic and caring man from Pittsburgh, PA stole my heart. We enjoyed the pitfalls and wonders of any relationship -- but did it from 700 miles apart. Wil proposed on 25 June, 2007 -- he moved to NH on 5 July, 2007.

By the time we got married, we had been living together for almost a year. So when we got married -- not much seemed to change. Don't get me wrong, our wedding was a wonderfully romantic affair that I will have beautiful memories of forever. I couldn't have asked for more that day -- everything I dreamed of, came true and the man of my dreams was now my husband.

Ok....now I'm not being rude or mean -- but why is everyone's favorite question: How is married life?


What is up with that? How many times can I say "good" or "great"? Though...I suppose it's nice to be asked that, as people are acknowledging that I am a married woman instead of someone just "playing house." All kidding aside -- we are doing great. Today is better than yesterday and tommorrow holds the promise for better still. :^)

Our life is a quiet one. Work, spend precious moments together (with our work schedules those are sometimes few & far between), spend time with family or friends and plan for our future. We would like to buy a house this year; something in the Manchester area as Wil works in Billerica MA and I work in Concord. He's a little tired of driving 60 miles to work every day and I don't blame him. Plus, the house we're renting is on a very busy road and is not conducive to having a family -- something we'd like to try for.

Ok, so the whole point of having a blog is to keep it updated so that family and friends will return often -- makingsure to keep up with one in their busy life. What can I say...? I'm lazy and my life is somewhat boring. Ok -- not quite that true, but there is a bit of truth to the sentiment.
It's the new year (well, three weeks into it) -- everyone talks about resolutions: get out of debt, find a new job, finish school, lose weight, etc.... Blah, blah, blah, blah. I used to make resolutions, but like many others, by mid-March (or earlier) I was off on another track and completely forgot what I was resolving to do. Or I just got too lazy and easilyslid back into my old habit.
Alright, so what does this have to do with my blog? Well, I resolve to write more often and write more like I talk/think. Life is a story to be told -- since you can't experience it with me, then I supposed you'll just have to hear it the way itis, the way it was and the way it shall be. Now, if I could figure out how to slow my brain down to the speed with which I type or speed up my typing....now that would be ideal!!
I have a great imagination. As a teen, when I couldn't fall asleep at night (which was every night of the week), I listenedto the radio and talked to myself. By talking out loud, I would be able to tire myself out and eventually fall asleep around 1am. (Course then I was a grump 5 hours later when mom wanted me to get up for school....) My favorite thing to do was to pretend thatI was much older and then retell my life -- different parts, not neccessarily in order and usually starting with getting the hellout of high school. It was as if I was in my twilight years and dictating my life to a writer for my biography. The "real" story straight from the horses mouth.

So.....a new look, some fun random cartoons & a new outlook on life :^) Enjoy the journey.
