For our honeymoon Anthony and I drove to Salt Lake City, stayed in the Anniversary Inn, explored Salt Lake, and went to the fair. We had a blast in temple square and visiting different shops, but we both decided that it didn't matter where we were, if we were together it was going to be the best honeymoon ever. It was amazing to be able to get away with my husband and best friend for a couple of days to just be together, grow closer, and learn more about each other than we ever have before.
The funny thing is, we thought we loved each other before. We thought that our love was already so strong and unshakable, but now its like we can't even describe it. There is a bond, a love, and a friendship between us that has never been there before. There is a deep need for the others well-being and happiness, and a need to be together even if its washing the dishes or making the bed. Something I've noticed is that being able to be with Anthony all the time has made daily tasks, chores, responsibilities, and obligations fun, more enjoyable, and easier.
I always knew I would enjoy married life and that I would be happy, but nothing could ever prepare me for the happiness I would feel to be able to wake up next to Anthony every morning, eat breakfast together, say prayers together, and make a home together. When we were finally at home and finished with all of the wedding craziness our routine was pretty low key and I focused mostly on unpacking and organizing the house while Anthony was at work. When he got home we would eat dinner and spend quality time together. Yesterday, our routines changed as Anthony started school and I tried to find a job. I am so happy that he loves his classes, that work is going well, and that his days have gone by with ease. I am so happy that we are getting into the swing of things and starting our life together, but it is really hard to not miss him while he's at work and school. I know, I know, other than that we are with each other all the time so it shouldn't be that hard right? Well, that's not the case. Things are different now. We are eternally bound and we can feel it. It is a bond that can only be felt. I might be having a really good day but as soon as Anthony walks through the door my day is even brighter and I can't wait to be wrapped up in his strong arms as I rush to the door to hug him.
Something that I didn't think I would really enjoy doing is cooking! I absolutely love it and its all thanks to the three cookbooks and tons of recipes I got for wedding presents. Last night my allergies were really acting up so I took some allergy meds and went to lay in bed while Anthony did his homework...I took one of the cookbooks with me and ended up falling asleep with it in my hands. Anthony thought that was pretty cute when he walked into the room a little later...what can I say, its really growing on me! Tonight I'm making oven baked potatoes, corn on the cob, grilled chicken and banana bread for dessert! (Anthony's favorite)
If I could explain how happy I am to finally be married and sealed for eternity to Anthony, this blog would never end! We have only been married for a week and we have loved every second of it! We know that things won't always be easy and sometimes there will be mountains to climb but as long as we're together we can accomplish and overcome anything life has to throw at us!
Well, my amazing and dashingly handsome husband is going to be home in 30 minutes...time to use my newly acquired love of cooking to finish dinner!
