Married Life

James and I have been married almost two months! I can hardly believe it. In fact, when I realized it just now, I jumped out of my chair to shove James with surprise :) It took us about a month to get in our groove, and things are good. Better than good, even. I've come to understand a few things about being married: for us it's about doing things for the other person. For example, tonight when I arrived home from work, dinner was already made. James made Irish stew and homemade bread. We do things for each other as much as we can, because we don't get to spend that much time together. I work 9 hour days, and James studies until 1 am. I understand now why Scott will have his dinner breaks at home with Tara, who has cooked for him all day (my dear friends, the Calders). The best feeling in the world comes from seeing that other person smile. And, there has been a lot of smiling here in the great NJ!
