So, how's married life?

Wow…married life is BUSY! Or, maybe life is busy in general. I can’t believe I started a blog on being a newlybride, put up two posts two weeks in a row and then didn’t put up another one… I was thinking about it the other day and thought to myself… you need to put up a post…. Not for everyone else but for yourself…. You see, I have just decided that blogging is a form of therapy for people (like me) who like to talk a lot.…

Well, we have been married for FIVE MONTHS now… Can you believe it??  So, I have to think hard about what I want to write.

 I guess I would like to comment on the number one question I get asked as a newly married woman….. “How is married life?” which seems to be the opening line in most conversations I have with people that I don’t see very often.

 I am just wondering what everyone predicts I am going to say. Hmmmm…. Perhaps that I morphed into this amazing, superwoman who, at the point of her marriage, developed superpowers in the realms of cooking, cleaning, decorating and, oh yes, in that area too….  Nope that did not happen (Sorry, men). Or maybe married life has turned my newlyhusband into a super-romantic, sensitive man who understands a woman’s need to go shopping… Nope, that did not happen either (Sorry, ladies.) Or, maybe, the cynics would like us to confess our deepest problems and comment that married life sucks. And NO WAY, Nuh-uh… This is DEFINITELY not true.

The truth is we are just plain old Matt and Nat. We are the same. After all, we fell in love with each other before we got married. I have not cut my hair short and I don’t wear  Mom Jeans.  And so to answer the question…..Married life for Matt and Nat is amazing because I get to wake up every morning with the love of my life, work hard during the day to build our life together,come home to eat dinner  with our little family of two in the evenings and look forward to growing old together.

So there you have it the answer to the #1 question to ask a newlybride… “Married life is AMAZING!” Now for  that #2 question for a newlybride… the answer is NOOOOO, there are NO babies on the way.
