August 26,

I keep meaning to write, but there feels to be so much, yet so little to write about!!!

Like I said before, our wedding was amazing. The church was gorgeous, my dress amazing, my bridesmaids beautiful, and the family priest was funny and reverent. It was such a beautiful ceremony! We had a full mass (the 3 readings, priest speak/homily, communion, flowers for Mary). It all went so smoothly!! I felt gorgeous. My dad loved it which made me really happy- I was worried about how he would feel.
Even our exit was perfect- usually it seems no one knows what's going on, but everyone blew bubbles! It was great!

Waiting the 9 months was worth it. We were exhausted that night, but it's nice knowing that we are full married and renewing our vows every time. It's so exciting and special! I feel like it's 100% worth it and I recommend others to do so also. Doing NFP is working well--> it ends up with us having times where we chose to not to, but it ends up making us closer. We make that decision every time.
I guess it all goes along with my becoming more conservative. Crazy. It's funny to see how I have changed/am changing. I'm scared the people in my life won't like me, but I can't help it. I want to be a little more feminine, conservative, Catholic.... this is another post that I'll write later. heh.

T's school year has started and is going well. We ended up fighting some- I shouldn't really go into it, but he is doing his marching band without my help and he is doing fine. I wanted to be involved with marching band, but I think he needs time to establish himself first. It's taken a long time to figure out- especially for me. I want to be there and help, but as a man he needs to do it himself for a while. I don't know if this makes sense, but.... I know it to be right, for now. I guess that's what matters.

I've been subbing and it's fun. I love subbing- the joys of teaching without lesson planning :D I do need a job though, as money is extremely tight. I was hoping after the wedding we could start catching up, but then I had more car problems and other (expensive) issues keep coming up and they needed to be attended to.

Overall I'm happy. I hope I get more comfortable with myself as I am growing and coming up with a new identity- a wife! I've been working on making our home more of a home- I'm beginning to love the small things that make it feel like a home. I know we won't  be here forever, or even very long, but I want it to make it ours! I don't want to look like a college dorm. I love having my tablecloth out, my place mats down, my cloth napkins... I love the homemade pancakes I make him in the morning before work. I love being married, being home, being me.
