almost two months, can you believe it?

I am not sure if anyone is reading this blog anymore. I apologize for you avid readers if I have been slacking. I really didn't think after the wedding that anyone would be interested in reading this blog anymore. If you are, thank you for the interest.

I decide to drop an entry because I am bored at work and I just can't believe that almost two months have gone since I have been married. So, how is married life, you ask? Actually, it is not as bad as you would think. People are so surprised that there hasn't been some major upheaval or major conflicts over habits and territories since we didn't live with each other first. Yet, Vin and I are pretty laidback and similar in habits that there really hasn't been any major adjustment. There has been no power struggle. Both of us do the best to make each other comfortable and it has been working.

I had to get used to not being with my family for awhile. At times it was a bit strange but I have been seeing them often that I don't miss them as much. I really missed them a lot when Christmas rolled around and they were celebrating it in Miami with my cousins and I was stuck in New Jersey (due to work reasons). It didn't feel like Christmas without them.

Vin and I made our own Christmas. We got a real tree and decorated it in our home. I made Christmas cookies. Vin even agreed to go to Midnight Mass with me. I think it was only when I went to Mass did it feel like Christmas. Otherwise the holidays crept up without me really enjoying it like I used to. I even got a cold on Christmas and was not feeling in the holiday spirit because of it. I think the holidays have gotten more stressful now a days as you become an adult and have more responsibilities toward the holidays. Like you have to go shopping for gifts. You have to buy and write and send Christmas cards. You have to go to all these parties and cook and entertain. There is a lot of "have tos" when you are adult. When you were a child, there were less "have tos" and a lot to look forward to.

Anyway, back to married life, it is great so far. It must be the honeymoon phase because everyday I look forward to coming home and seeing my hubby. Now I have someone waiting for me to share the day. It is a good thing as Martha Stewart would put it. A good thing.
