So glad that Christmas time is finally over.  I love my family but family gatherings were getting old.  Now its time to move on and settle down into married life.  I feel like Bill and I have been non stop since the moment we said "I Do".  From the wedding we went to Tulsa for a weekend getaway in which we shopped for Christmas gifts and chilled at the Hard Rock, I thought it would be a relaxing thing, but it wasn't thanks to me...I decided to lock the keys in the car and Bill had to call a locksmith, I had a pretty nasty head ache and the onset of a UTI.  Not exactly what I envisioned for us.  Once we got back we had someone staying with us every night so we never actually had our apartment to ourselves.  I loved the company, don't get me wrong, but I am ready to settle down into married life and get a routine going as well as a budget.  It feels like we have spent so much this month and I know that is because of wedding and Christmas.  One of my biggest fears about getting married was the finances but luckily we have some amazing people in our lives that are helping us getting on our feet.  If there is one thing that I learned from my mom and dad's marriage it was to always have my finances in order and I'm glad that I can finally start doing that.
     I am one of those freaks who loves being home, spending time with my husband and my puppies as well as cleaning and cooking, its pretty theraputic for me.  I haven't been able to do that much lately so I am excited to start taking on that wifely role.  So far, I haven't felt like we are married.  Just two people living under the same roof with no real connection.  I guess thats because we dated so long we already felt married, the wedding was just making it official.  While we didn't live together before we were married we spent so much time together that I already knew his ideocencresies and he mine.  I understand there there is still a lot of adjusting that we have to do because we didn't live together but for some reason it doesn't feel like we are adjusting.  The only thing I have had to get used to is sharing my closet space, HAHA! 
     there are some things that I thought I wasn't going to have to do just yet in our marriage and one of those things is going to bed alone.  I thought that at the beginning of our marriage he would want to go to bed with me and cuddle and maybe watch T.V. but he does what he did when we were dating: puts me to sleep then he goes to the livingroom and plays his video games.  Don't get me wrong I don't mind that he plays video games I just thought that since we were supposed to be in the honeymoon period he would want to lay with me each night.  Of course I don't want to be that naggy wife that tells her husband what to do and isolates him from his friends by not letting him play his game I just wish I could have him in bed with me and also a way that I didn't have to listen to him kill zombies until 2 AM when I have to work at 9 AM.  So, I just let him do as he wishes and try not to complain too much because I know how important it is that he have a social life as well as a married life, its a balancing act. 
     We will see how this transition goes and I will keep you all, if there are any of you, posted on how it goes.  Being a newlywed has its perks but I know that I must adjust to the life he lead before me as well has be adjust to mine.
