Well, here it is, two and a half weeks into being married. It still hits me as unbelievable that I am now a married woman, but even with that feeling, I am so relieved to be over and done with dating!!! It is also a great relief to have my best friend to confide in, with whom I can share my life.
Developments are as follows:
Isaac has cut his part-time jobs down to the two he has with the Church. Working extra shifts with the theater were wearing on both of us (never having time to see each other) and they were treating him pretty badly there. I am so grateful that my husband has a job where he is happy!
We have spent a lot of the money that we received at the wedding, resulting in a 32" HDTV, a dryer, a vacuum, a microwave, and a DVD player, among other smaller purchases. The wedding ring is paid off in full. Hallelujah.
We have also decided not to put off having a family. I'll be sure to update you on what happens there at the appropriate time.
I am feeling more and more satisfied with my home. The walls are not so bare, my parents futon is up and acting as couch for now, we have been given a nice table and chairs for our kitchen, and we got a nice coffee table for free on freecycle. (Isaac would probably contest the idea that it is a "nice" coffee table since he is constantly tripping over it or bruising his shins on it...but it sure makes a nice footrest/food table for eating in front of the t.v. (which doesn't have television...we only watch movies or DVD's we have.).)
So in short, I am loving life and looking forward to a bright future with my handsome husband by my side!

ooh! How fun and exciting! I wish you so much fun and happiness!
I'm glad married life is off to a great start(despite flu and other challenges...).
Isn't it fun putting your house together? And it's amazing how much free stuff there is out there. I have gotten a couch with a matching armchair, a queen sized bed, a washer, a dryer, an entertainment center, tv, dvd player (crappy, but works), and vcr, kitchen table and chairs, a freezer, a table I am using for a desk, shelves for my garage, coffee table and end table. . . the list just keeps getting longer! Of course, none of it is crazy nice, but most of it is in pretty good condition.
