Settling In

So... I'm married now. The question people have been asking me lately is 'how's married life?' I'm not really sure what kind of answer people are looking for when they ask this. I mostly just say 'really good'. I think it's just something people feel the need to ask without REALLY wanting an answer. Oh culture.
But the truth is that married life IS going really well. Everyone tells you that being married is never what you think it's going to be. That you can't really anticipate what it will be like. So Travis and I were expecting that. But really marriage is more like we thought it was going to be then we thought it was going to be. If you can follow that. haha. It was a really natural progression. Granted it's only been a few weeks. But it's been fabulous! The hardest thing to do when we were engaged (at least for me) was to part at night. And now we don't have to. It isn't weird to live with a guy, which is what lots of women say. We're settling in and it's just really nice.
Obviously we have a lot of growing to do and we're both excited about that. God put us together for a purpose and right now we're praying and sorting out what that looks like for this time in our life. We're excited to work for God as a team and be stretched in our faith while growing in unity with HIM and each other. It's just finally nice to be together all the time. It's much easier to stay on the same page and be unified.
Plus, there's the fun of learning each others little quirks. haha. One of the first nights we got back from our honeymoon we were making the bed. I started jumping on the bed and Travis soon joined in. "Who let us be adults?" Travis asked and I just laughed. As much as we have and are growing up I hope that we never lose the silliness. I honestly believe that it helps a person to not take themselves too seriously. I'm super blessed to be married to man who finds the value in silliness. I love laughing :)
