Whatever that means.
That's one thing that is hitting me most. When many of our friends hear that we have gotten married, they say things like, "Oh, I couldn't see myself getting married down ANYtime soon. I'm not ready to settle down." I don't know about you... but who is settling? Sure, we have to stay home for the holidays because we don't have time off work. Sure, we can't run off to foreign countries because we still have student loans to pay off. Sure, we have to worry about things like taking care of a house and taking care of houseguests. But, what's the difference between that and when we were single? I like to think of just picking up another one along the way. I'm still living my life, and so is Michael, its just like our worlds collided- literally, at the wedding, kind of freaked us out. We were both running on paths, that just happened to intersect. And now we're running together :) Sure, sometimes it goes to a walk or a slight jog, but at least now we have someone to pull the other along when we need it, or slow down and rest with us when we need it. Yes, that means walking when we want to run sometimes, and running when all we want is to stop and sit. But that's life- no greater love than this, than he who lays down his life for a friend. It just so happens that the friend for whom I do this the most, is my best friend! I now have twice as much family as I used to (and it helps that they're pretty close, and willing to travel to see us!), an income which we're very appreciative of, and a hot guy home with me every night. I don't know about you...but who is settling?
Well, just a short rant, sorry it's not as in depth into my soul. Here are some pictures from the wedding week :) Enjoy!
