The Married Life

If I had to describe myself, one of the first words I would use would be "wife".  I love being married and that's because I'm married to my best friend.  Not everyone gets that simple luxury but I do and I am thankful every single day of that.  Another word I would use to describe myself would be thankful. 

Don't get me wrong, after being with someone for 5 years, we have bad days, weeks, and even months but I know that in the end, we'll get through it because we were meant for each other. 

I'm a believer in soul mates.  Before I was with Mason, I probably wouldn't have had an opinion on the matter but knowing who I married and how our life is together, he has made me a believer.  On August 27th 2011 I was officially "stuck" with my other half, and even better, he was "stuck" with me.  So many say we're too young, that we still have growing to do and don't have enough life experience.  But the way I see it... Yes, we're young.  More time I get to spend with him.  If I were to stumble upon his path in my 30's or 40's, I would have wished I had more time with him.  We do have growing to do.  I never want to stop growing.  The plan is we grow together.  That we embrace our differences and make it work.  The hard times will only make us stronger as a couple.  And as far as life experience goes, I have 23 years of life experience.  It's not a lot but it's some and when I'm old and withering away with him by my side, I'll know that the experiences that I've had and the growing that I've done will be with him and because of him.  It will be something we can share. 

We have a quaint little married life.  2 bedroom home in a great neighborhood of Santa Rosa, reliable vehicles, stable jobs and the most amazing and supportive family either one of us could ask for.  We don't go out and do stuff every day but we have our fun.  It's hard for me to explain to non-married people that sometimes we just want to stay home and hang out.  Or that certain situations just aren't a good fit for us.  It is different being married, different than being single or newly in a relationship.  After a few years of being together, married or not, I just considered myself wifed up.  The jump from Kroh to Wagner was a peice of cake... literally.

Anyway, I couldn't be happier with how our wedding or married life has turned out so far.  I'm a proud wife and enjoy doing wifely duties (even things like grocery shopping or dishes) because I feel like I'm taking care of my husband the way a wife should.
