Weird & Wonderful

I got married 19 days ago, and it has been as I like to call it “weird and wonderful.” First let me start by explaining why it’s weird. Before My wife Cara and I got married we lived 6 hours apart from each other for our whole relationship besides the first 6 weeks. So the only time we would see each other is on the weekends for short visits. Now she lives in Whiting Iowa with me and it’s weird because she’s not leaving in two days. She is staying, and it’s a weird feeling and its wonderful all at the same time. I have been in a relationship for one way for so long and it’s completely different. I like it. Living with the person you love the most is amazing. It is a challenge at time. I wish I could say the first 19 days of my marriage have been easy. Actually it has just been the last 10 days where it has been a challenge to learn to live with someone. The first 9 days was our wedding, honeymoon and travel back to Whiting. I have had roommates before, but I didn’t care about them like I do my wife obviously. If they got mad at me I didn’t lose sleep over it, but if my wife gets mad I care and want to fix my wrong. When your wife is your roommate you can be a jerk and get away with it. And when your wife is your roommate you learn about the way she does things. It is interest to see how the way we were brought up affects the way we do things in our home and how it will take awhile to get use to the way we like things. I do one thing one way and she does it another and we have to figure out how we harmonize it. It’s fun, frustrating, exciting, and challenging all at the same time, and it’s great. I’ve been married for a little less than 3 weeks, and I recommend it to all people.
