It took me a while, but I was finally able to upload some of the wedding photos onto Flickr. This is one of my favorite photos of our wedding night. You can see the rest of the photos here. We have 263 photos (not including my sister’s photos), so believe me when I say I only put up a fraction of the photos up on Flickr!

I have to say, being married is fun. Your life doesn’t end, as some people like to say. A new, better one begins. You learn even more things about each other, and even about yourself. Just the other day I learned that I am not a peaceful sleeper, like I thought I was. According to my husband, I am very much a violent sleeper. Sure, I can sleep through a hurricane, but apparently I also do things in my sleep that scare him a bit. Just the other night he said that I “woke up” and starting yelling incoherent babbling and flailing my arms at him. I obviously don’t remember doing any such thing, but I can kind of believe it. That would definitely explain why my younger cousin saw me eating cookies at three o’clock in the morning but not having recollection of it in the morning. I don’t think I’m a sleep walker or anything, but I’m definitely not a bump on a log when I sleep!

There are exactly 22 days left until Rob has to ship out for the Navy. It gets harder to think about it the closer the date comes. Everytime I step into that damn Navy office, I always start tearing up. I’m going to miss him so much, and it’s just painful to think that we’re going to be apart for so long. Willingly.

Great, I’ve begun to make myself cry again.

Everyone tells me to be strong and all that, but they really don’t know what it feels like. It’s times like these I really regret leaving the puppies with my mother. Although to be honest, they’re not really puppies anymore. But there’s no way I can bring them over to the new place. We can’t afford $300 for each dog. Half of which we aren’t even getting back! So I’m just going to have to deal with this like a grown woman. A grown woman with a hole in her heart, but a grown woman nonetheless! I know I can make it through the months, but I really don’t want to.

Anyway, I’m hoping to be so busy that I won’t have time to think about anything. I signed up for a whole bunch of things just to keep me busy, like tutoring at the university and helping the 3rd grade teacher form a chess club at the elementary school I’m working at. I just want the next six months to go by quickly, so I can be with my half again for good.
