You know, you'd think that after the whirlwind that was our engagement and the rollercoaster that was our wedding and honeymoon, that life would hand us a lemon, so that we could take a break and have some lemonade (with vodka in it)... BELIEVE ME, I'm def not complaining, I'm just exhausted... still. Our schedule is JAM PACKED this summer, and I don't know how it got to that. I guess we did it to ourselves though... wanting to really get this scuba thing underway. I am taking my Advanced Certification classes at the same time that Cory and I are taking our Rescue Diver Certification classes. All of this, in the span of about 3 weeks. More classwork and pool sessions after a long day of work, there is even a day after work where we have to do 3 dives (I'm gonna hate life the next day), and a few weekends are already booked up for more ocean dives. I'm exhausted just typing this. Again, not complaining, just remembering how drained I was when I sped through my Open Water Certification...
The good thing is... at the end of this month, we are heading back to PA for the Firemen's Picnic... and equally exciting, if not slightly more... my new in-laws/family (The Smith's) are throwing Cory and I a reception shin-dig to celebrate with the peeps who weren't able to make it to the wedding... and some who did. Hey, another reason to celebrate the best day of my life is FINE WITH ME! It's also a party to show off their newly remodeled house, that we CANNOT wait to see!!! But we are excited to go back and spend some time with everyone. The wedding was such a blur, and we really only got a few good moments of relaxing and catching up. So, it will be nice to hang out with everybody and chit chat over dollar beers and bags of clams... and pizza frita... and sausage and peppers... and potato cakes... and buffalo wings... did I forget anything? Holy crapballs, I'm STARVING already!
Anyhoo, so in addition to SCUBA, which apparently has become our life, we have that vacation coming up at the end of the month. We also have a few Angels games, which I'm excited about because we haven't gone to a game this season yet. The girls and I have the SUMMER OF CONCERTS ahead of us! Whoo hoooo! No Doubt, Pink... some others! Ooh, and of course, Marcy and Anders wedding! I just got back from Marcy's bachelorette party in Palm Springs... we stayed at the Viceroy and had a BLAST! It was my first weekend away from my new hubby, and it was hard, but luckily, I was surrounded by my ladies, and it was only for one night. Of course, as soon as I got back, Cory left for a "sales meeting" in Las Vegas. Right. Like there will be any work going on when you schedule a meeting in VIVA LAS VEGAS. HAHAHAHA! Oh, and he is staying at the Wynn. I thought our company was trying to save money! J/K! He left yesterday (on our ONE MONTH anniversary), and won't be back til late tomorrow night. So, it's just me and the Gizmonster holding the fort down. Does it make you obnoxiously sick that we both were silly sad last night when saying good night to each other? Yeah well, SUCK IT UP, that's just how digusting we are and you're just jealous! =)
Other than that... I've been asked many a times... "How is married life? Do you love it? Is it different?" Without a doubt or any hesitation... Married life is phenomenal, I heart it's face off (thanks Jenn), and yes it is different. It really is. There is this other person that I am now bound to for the rest of my life, and I love it. The flip side of course, is that now you are in a constant state of worry and panic. Not at a level that incapacitates you, but it's always in the back of your mind. Always thinking in the back of your head if he is ok, worried that something will happen to the love of your life. Luckily, Cory and I are no stranger to living our lives, so we don't let this stop us from still doing things, but still... I mean, literally, the moment we said "I do", it all changed, for the better, but it changed. I have a whole new respect for him, whole new level of love, adoration, care for him. And for all of you Sappy McSappers, yes, I would be lost without him.
Alright, so I'm signing off for now...
PS - again, for all of you who have been asking... NO BUN IN THE OVEN... we are, however, debating another dog... any suggestions?
