Thought One: I really thought I would automatically feel married after Sept 27th. I'm not sure what that would feel like but I thought for sure I would feel it. Um, I didn't feel that. In fact I had a hard time not being the mid 30 year old single girl and didn't want to lose that identity. Don't ask me; it is just what I felt.
Thought Two: Eric and I both felt a strong need/desire to keep our independence. Over the course of 17 weeks I have visited my girlfriends quite a few times. Probably too many times in the eyes of some. Eric is hanging out with his friends this weekend in Vegas.
As I crawled into bed last night I noticed a slip of paper under the sheets. I turned the light back on as I read the sweetest note from EW.
Things aren't perfect and we do have our annoyances but I can say now that I do feel married and I like that feeling. And yes, it took me 4 months to get here and I'm glad I finally did. I pick him up from the airport in a couple hours and am VERY happy about it.

Now THAT is very sweet. It seems I have a few things to learn from that EW. :)
I just deleted a huge paragraph and had to remind myself that this isn't a therapy session. :) Let's just say that this post taught me a lot about marriage that I hadn't learned after experiencing it for 10 years. Thanks!
It took me longer than 4 months to feel "married"! I think you guys are doing great!!
Re-orienting to myself, from single girl to married person was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I don't know why. But it was.
But like you, I'm glad I'm married.
Way to go EW. I know that sweet notes left by Thomas are one of my greatest joys. I cherish them.
