So, I think it is time for an update. Cody and I are settling in quite nicely to our new home and our new jobs. We both really love our jobs and our apartment feels more and more like home every day! We have officially been here a month and Whit has been here for a few weeks. It seems like everything is happening so fast! We are quickly learning about bills that we have never had to pay and how hard it can be to combine your incomes. It really hasn't been that hard but it is definitely something that we haven't had to talk about before. I think we will be okay though because we have everything budgeted out, and while it might seem tight at first with the beginning costs of everything and my student loan, we will HOPEFULLY be debt free by April which will be nice!
I also apologize to everyone who has been waiting for their thank you cards! I swear they are coming out and they are all written, but I lost my address book somewhere during the move and have slowly been accumulating them again! They will be going out this week!
I really wanted to post tonight because I was sitting and thinking during dinner and I realized how lucky I am. I have been stressing over the simplest things lately and tonight I came to the realization that it all didn't matter. For example, it has been stressing me out lately that I have gained a little bit of weight since the wedding. I went from working out every other day and eating pretty healthy to not doing either. We have just been so busy starting out and the gym in the apartments isn't done yet...it is supposed to be done by the end of this week. Well, it has really been getting me down and I know Cody has noticed my moods changing because of it. When I am working out and eating healthy I am happier so I know my grumpiness has shown. I know Cody doesn't care what I weigh or anything like that, but I AM A GIRL and that worries me. BUT, tonight as I was sitting there eating a healthy dinner =) because I made it my goal to start making them again, Cody looked over at me and just the look he gave me said it all. He probably didn't even realize he looked at me the way he did, but thats why I love him. One look and I somehow realized that who cares if I gained a little post-wedding weight. Thats just life! I will work out again when I can and even if I couldn't, I am married to someone who couldn't care less! He loves me through and through and nothing will ever change that! It just makes me feel so blessed to know that I don't need to stress myself out about it. I can definitely worry, but why worry to the point where I am unhappy or making him unhappy. I have a GREAT guy and even the money situation. We may be living tightly but we have everything we NEED. I realized something else...I hear and see a lot of couples who fight a lot or let the little things come between them...and I may be a newlywed, but every day I am happy. I REALLY am. There may be parts of the day that I am not, but I feel blessed everyday, and that look I got today made me realize that even more! Cody, I know you never read this because you think it's silly, but THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU!
So, that is my blog for the time being....I just want to tell everyone that just be happy and don't let the small things get you down. Count your blessings and don't let the people you love and that love you go unnoticed!
