How's married life??????

So many people have been asking me how I like being married????!!! Well it has only been 3 weeks since we have been married, but so far it's like just before except he is always around. It seems surreal to me how comfortable and easy we have adjusted to being married and living together. I mean we had been seeing each other for about say 7-8 years, even though we've know each other for 10 years this coming October. I really did not like Ron when I first met him, I thought he was rude and arrogant and just plain mean! But, once I got to know him, figured out it was just his shyness around people he didn't know.

But back to the real issue......I like being married, in fact it is nice to have someone to worry about me and my boys for a change as well as having someone taking care of me for a change. Granted I don't know how long this "honeymoon" will last but I am going to take advantage and enjoy it while it lasts.

The boys seem to have adjusted extremely well to having Ron around all the time too. Sometimes they will just go ask him if they can do things or if Ron is home they will not call me to tell me that they are home from school, practice etc., kinda makes me miss it.

It is also nice to have someone to just be able to let them handle some things and to hold me when I have had a bad day, just as long as he keeps massaging my feet for me I will be a happy woman! I told him you know the old saying....Happy Wife, Happy Life.

WHEW!



Well, we did it, we got married. It was a very beautiful day and I was so thankful that it was a nice sunny but windy day. I was very surprised at how many people showed up to show us their love and support to us at the Temple for our marriage ceremony and for the sealing of Steven and Shawn to us for all time and eternity.

I could not look at any of my friends that were so supportive and helpful to make my day special as I would have started crying and would not have been able to stop. Kim, Laurie, Karen, Tami, Regina, Mitzi, Paloma, Lisa and Kim K., are the most wonderful women in my life. They planned every little detail and carried it out to make it run so smoothly. If I have forgotten anyone please forgive me as I was overwhelmed and still am at the love you showed for me and Ron that day as well as the days that proceeded the wedding. Kelly made a lovely cake for the reception that looked like a professional cake decorator made it, but she did it out of love for us and because she likes to do that sort of thing. My friend Ann and her husband Glenn for saying the prayer at the Ring ceremony and the Bishop for over seeing the ceremony. A special thanks to Debra and Dave for the use of their beautiful farmhouse for the reception and to Chris and Bonnie for doing a wonderful job on the landscaping, flowers and cleaning up of the farmhouse for the wedding. It would not have turned out as beautiful as it did with out all of you.

My cousin Vanessa sang so beautifully at the ring ceremony that their wasn't to many dry eyes in the place. I was so overjoyed that Vanessa's mother and my Aunt Daughn and my cousins Mindy and Gary came, as well as my mother, oldest brother Jim, his wife Bonnie, my niece Jessica and her mother Michelle and my two college roommates Lisa and Elisa.

The boys looked so handsome in their tuxedos that I couldn't help but cry a little. Ron was very handsome as well and I have never seen him smile so much in my life. The reception was amazing as I was shocked and overjoyed to see so many of my friends come that I have not seen in a long time as well as all my co-workers showed up. We are still receiving gifts that Ron is awed by how many people love us. As my friend Susan said to us on Saturday night it was the wedding of the century that a lot of people have been waiting for, for a long time (she wasn't kidding).

Thank you again to all my friends that donated their time, food and all around love and support to us YOU are all amazing and we love all you to bits.

One Week to GO

Goodness how time had flown by! In one week I will be married to the man I truly love with all my heart, mind and soul. He is my soul mate, my rock, my better half (what a better half he is), my eternal love. He is started to get a little excited about it as well, but if you know Ron he does not let people that he does not know very well anyways, know he is getting excited. He is in such a good mood these days that people are commenting on it. Well you know he is getting married to me and that as Martha says, It's a good thing! The boys are getting excited to they are very happy that he finally stepped up and asked. They love him just as much as I do.

Although my cat Misty will not be happy that she will not be allowed to sleep with me anymore. She thinks she is the Queen of the castle. She was highly upset when I went to visit my mother when she was sick and Ron came and stayed with the boys. He slept in my bed, fixed a few things and she was not happy. She used to like him a lot but now she wants nothing to do with him. So it will be real interesting when he moves in.

Well I hope to see all of you at the wedding and the reception.
