Love, marriage, and settling in.

Today, I feel completely and totally married. 

As weird as that may sound, it actually takes a while to have it set in that you are, in fact, a married woman... I mean, after the wedding you have this thought process like, 
"I'M MARRIED. OH MY GOSH, WE'RE MARRIED. MY HUSBAND, AHH!" 

But it doesn't really sink until days like today. 

This morning I woke up when Derek woke up (6:00am!) and got myself going around 6:30, took a shower, started on some homework, cleaned up the kitchen, made breakfast for Derek, and now I'm headed out for a day of running errands... Do you know who I sound like right now? My mom. Now, this probably isn't going to be some revelation-style post or anything, but I'm amazed at how the "wife" role has begun to suit me; making dinner at the end of a long day doesn't stress me out anymore, it actually calms me down. The bills are always paid on time and I'm always checking on what errands I need to run on a certain day. 

I am a wife.

Totally and completely.

I'm filling shoes that my mom did before me and her mom before her. I've taken my place as one half of a life partnership and I love it... I finally feel grown-up enough to take charge of my house, my life, my choices - which is a lot to say since I was worried about these things not too long ago. So, this post has come to an end but I have one more thing to say:

What should I make for dinner?
