Post Marriage Ramblings

It's been a whole two weeks of marriage now, plus a couple days. We made it past that critical mark, and I'm happy to report we're still pretty fond of each other. :)

I will post some pictures and memories from the various fun things on the honeymoon soon (probably) but for now I just kind of need a little rambling.

You see, Trenton, wonderful man that he is, goes off to work everyday so that we can still afford to live in this lovely little apartment (which the longer we live in the more I add to my mental list of things to look for next time we go apartment hunting. For example, there is a big difference between space, counter space, and storage space. And also, how many bugs will be making their way in to visit by crawling under the not very tight to the ground front door.) and so we can eat (we are both EXTREMELY fond of eating). On the eating note, we made an extremely scrumptious meal last Thursday named Italian skillet and summery spinach salad. We took a picture, but unfortunately it's on Trenton's phone so it will just have to wait. Because Trenton takes the car to work (he often leaves at inappropriate hours like 7), I am left at home by myself all day.

I've read many books in the last week. It's kind of nice to be able to sleep in and then read in bed for a bit. But there's also a lot of washing dishes and scrubbing the walls and tidying up the blanket that covers our kind of ugly patterned but free and comfortable couch and, oh yes, writing and addressing thank you notes.

That's been the project of this morning, and the only reason I stopped was because I ran out of stamps, so I will continue tomorrow once more stamps have been obtained.

I'm trying to enjoy this time to myself. I've actually started working on my novel again (!!!!), and like I said I've gotten lots of reading in, plus doing lots of just helpful wife type things. I know that soon enough I will be off working and will be in school again and won't have time to just read for the fun of it. And even later on I will have kids and while I am excited beyond belief for that stage in life, I know it will be busy and nothing like the peaceful mornings I've been experiencing lately. So, while I'm grateful, I do miss having my husband home to talk to, or having friends here all the time.

I guess it just goes to show, that no matter what point in life we are at there's always something to appreciate. :) There we go, somewhat poetic or cliched closing thought so this can be wrapped up and I can finish off my leftover Chicken Alfredo.

(Have you noticed that I often end these posts so I can eat? Not a bad trend.)
