how's married life??

First question I get from anybody that I haven't seen for the last four months, or for the last four weeks ... "How's married life????!!"
Funny, the last couple of months before the wedding, people would sit me down and say,

"I just want to tell you that you can't judge your whole marriage off of
the first few months, or even the first year ... It's just so difficult,
adjusting and all. Don't get frustrated and give up ... It does get better. It
just takes time, getting used to living with someone else and everything."

It's been nothing like that though. Being married is absolutely wonderful! I love every minute of it. It's never been difficult adjusting. So I really don't know what all those people were talking about.
The only difficult part is that I feel sometimes like I've lost touch with my few girlfriends that I had before. Almost like now that I'm married, I'm no longer interesting or able to hang out with single girls. Granted, I realize that now that I'm out of the single scene, things are kind of different, but it still gets lonely sometimes. Thank God that I have such a wonderful best friend in my husband.
I'm really looking forward to moving to Tennessee. It's been simply ages since I've been near my family, and I'm very anxious to be closer to them. I can't imagine being able to drive just a couple hours for a visit ... wow ... I'll be around some good friends then. It's an exciting thought.

the very first post ... ever

I used to write so freely -- songs, poetry, journals. Something happened though. I sometimes wonder .. could that "something" that happened be growing up? Am I just too busy to enjoy the simpler things of life, and to sit down and think about them, to the point where I am overflowing with ideas and thoughts. Things that I simply must get out of my system? But at the same time, I cannot force it out. Lord knows I've tried. I've tried writing songs again, and thats just how they sound -- painfully forced. And so .. I give up.

So this is my attempt to slow down at life and enjoy the finer things.
