I'm Really Married!

So, my husband and I were married just over a month ago and I think I'm still kind of reeling and working it all out in my head. It's the oddest feeling, but it's almost as though it was all a great dream, except I know that it happened (the hundreds of thank-you's I'm still working to complete are evidence of that)! Although this picture (another of my favorites) kind of has that fairy tale quality with the arch! The odd thing is that I look at my ring finger (a lot) and look at the pictures and video and I see that it's me up there but it still somehow doesn't seem entirely real. Everything just happened so quickly (including the courtship) and I think I just didn't have time to process it all, even though we enjoyed it immensely. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm glad we only had 3 months of planning into it because it all goes by in such a rush! I remember my dad whispering to me right before we walked down the aisle to 'enjoy my moment' (which choked me up) and that's all it really was, a moment. I have a good friend getting married in September and they will have been engaged for 14 months at the time of the wedding...I could just have never done that. I suppose it worked out the way it was supposed to for me, but I'm still trying to put it all together! So many people always say that being married doesn't really feel any different than just living together, that you just get a new name. I suppose there's is a slight letdown because it's new and I never really knew what to expect, but I like married life and I sure do love my husband! I feel like such an adult and even have a 'real' banking account and a new car (ok, two years old is new enough for me) to show for it! Life is grand.
