I guess it's time I start one of these threads, eh?
Well, it's been just over two weeks since we became 'official,' and truth be told, not too much has changed. Since we've lived together for the last three and a half years, I didn't really expect much would (which is fine; things were great the way they were -- otherwise why would I have married him?)....
I have noticed he's become sweeter and nicer, however... as if it were even possible! He just dotes on me a little more, is even more affectionate, and just .. well... SWEETER. It's wonderful. It's almost like we're both going out of our way even more to make sure the other is comfortable, content, happy... It's a nice feeling.
And I'm all official in terms of legal -- the day after we got back from our honeymoon, I went and got my Social Security Card and Driver's License changed (he was so excited to see his last name on my license), and changed my name on our joint bank account.
We've also finally started actually USING the joint account, for all household expenses, going out together, etc... (we've both maintained individual accounts for little things here and there, etc...). It's a learning experience; it's been years since I've had to be accountable to anyone else about money, and he's never mixed finances with anyone, so we're both still adjusting, but so far, so good.
I've gotten most of the announcements stuffed, addressed, and mailed, and I'm working on thank-you notes now *sigh*... this could take a while!
More than anything, we're enjoying NOT fretting about what we have to get done for the wedding. We can come home in the evening and RELAX actually, which we haven't done in months.
Just enjoying the honeymoon phase... :grinhappy:
