Deliver Me from Baby Envy

It's a gorgeous Saturday and I've been up early finding any and all nooks and crannies for the rest of our wedding gifts. This afternoon, our new buffet will be delivered. I can't wait to finally take the booze off the bookshelf in the living room and into a sleek, sophisticated storage space. But, in the midst of all this organizing, I needed a break. So I sat down with a nice cup of coffee and found an intriguing show on the Discovery Health channel called Deliver Me. It's about three OBs who are best friends. Viewers get a glimpse into their professional and personal lives as they help women become moms. I don't know if it's post-wedding-planning boredom or what, but I find myself fixated on labor and delivery shows. I can't even stand to watch the wedding shows anymore. Been there, done that.

Have any other newlyweds experienced an urge to plan another big event such as the birth of a baby? The hubs and I have already decided that we would wait at least a year before we even considered trying to have a little one. We just want to enjoy being married, maybe do some traveling, save up some more money. So knowing that this is what I agreed to, and it's what I want, why am I having baby envy?

For now, I'm sure as I occupy myself with more cleaning and organizing, the feeling will pass. And I have one special delivery to look forward to--my buffet. I have never been so excited for furniture.

Welcome to My Lunderful Life

Welcome to my new post-wedding blog. For those of you coming from Altar Ego, my wedding blog, I realized it was time for me to move on over to a more blog-friendly platform--not to mention, it's free. For those of you who are just embarking on this journey with me, I hope you find this blog enjoyable and entertaining enough follow and tell your friends. The last year and a half of my life was focused on planning the perfect soiree for our dearest friends and family. Now that I'm not picking out flowers, designing programs or having the occasional tiff with my then fiance, I've really got to think of some other ways to fill up my time. Not that we don't have plenty to do. Our house is wreck. We still have wedding gifts in boxes and clothes from the honeymoon to unpack. I can't wait to figure out to work my new espresso machine. I'll get to all that in good time. For now, I'm taking the next couple of days to take it all in.

I didn't think marriage would be that different from dating and being engaged, but to tell you the truth, it is. There is something about knowing each day you will be with that person for the rest of your life. You have a partner, a mate and whatever life brings you, you know you have someone to share every good and bad moment with. I love being married, but I know it's hard work. We've only been married for two and half weeks and already we've had our first married arguments. Fortunately, my husband isn't as stubborn as I am and takes the adage "don't go to bed angry" very seriously. For that, I'm thankful.

So my friends, married life is great. We are loving every minute of it and learning something new everyday. Stay tuned for our fun, wacky and wild adventures. I'm sure there will be plenty.
