Officially Married

Wow. It seems like yesterday I was anticipating the big day, now I'm getting ready to celebrate my one-month anniversary. Time flies.

I'm still adjusting to being married. Last night Rick asked me how it feels, and I must admit it was hard to articulate. It's great. We've made the transition very smoothly. But the word "husband" does not yet roll off my tongue smoothly. In fact, I still blush and giggle when I say it. Forty-two years old, and I feel like a little girl. I think that's a good thing though.

If it's true that the wedding sets the tone for the marriage, then we definitely started off on the right foot (despite my broken toe); the wedding was a blast. We had beautiful weather, which made milling about after the ceremony very pleasant and fun. I actually remember everything, and there are a few things no one will let me forget...specifically my enthusiastic "WE DO" during the vows, which drowned out Rick's "I do." It took a few minutes for everyone to stop laughing. (In my defense, it was unclear to both of us whether we were supposed to say I do or We do.) We got it right on the third try.

Pictures speak 1,000 words, and this one I think sums up the day...
