Looking ahead.

After math of the wedding. It might be everything I expected. Or maybe not. Ryan and I are surely enjoying the honey moon phase. And we have shifted into a cloud 9, blissful and peaceful mindset.

I have to be honest, I was terrified that the wedding after math would be a little sad and depressing. That maybe I would feel less purpose after all those wedding decisions and waiting for the BIG day. I was afraid Id find myself sitting under a dark and gloomy rain cloud riddled with bordem.

I am happy to announce, that is not the case at all. In fact, its so much more than I thought it would be. I almost feel completely stress free. The mound of wedding stess has relieved. No more bride brain for this girl. (My sister will much appreciate that!)

Ryan is loving his job and is back to answering me in a loving tone (instead of an impatient stressed response). We are on the same page and taking the time to listen to each other again. Thank goodness.

Wedding planning was fun don't get me wrong. I enjoyed shopping with my great friend/wedding planner, Ali for the things that turned our ideas to real life touchable masterpieces. I loved having my nose in the most recent issue of Bride Magazine. But, it was stressful. Making the calls, the appointments, staying in contact with the caterer, photographer, dj, Men's warehouse, etc., etc. The choices too! Oh how many. All of which lead up to what could be the most important day of your life.

It was all worth it. I dont ever want to do it again, however. :)

And now Ryan and I have big plans. We have set our goals high to reach financial stability. And once we conquer this goal our first "move" is to find and buy the house of our dreams.

As of right now I feel like it is going to be a long road. I have student debt as well as credit cards and current bills. But I have Ryan by my side who is willing to help. We are going in as a team!

So, a little honeymoon bliss and then back to reality. Living, learning and loving it.
