6 Months!

6 months ago, 11/10/12 was the happiest day of both our lives; the day we became husband and wife!

It has been a blessful road for Peter and I.  It is said that the first year is the toughest; the transition of living together and learning new habits that we may never have known about one another.  Knock on wood, but God has really been in the center of our relationship and as my sister puts it, "we are truly madly deeply livin da vida loca."  :-)

The biggest obstacle we have faced is feeling that our marriage has just recently begun.  What I mean by that is we had a roommate living with us.  Even though our roommate was respectful with our space and pretty much gave us most of the apt, we didn't feel like we started our lives together until after we moved to our own place.  I only say that because I felt like the place wasn't part of me.  Yes I may have decorated and used the kitchen most, but it wasn't home to me or for us...not yet  I guess it's not really an obstacle, but for us we were very antsy and could not wait to move.  Especially since we had all these wonderful wedding gifts to use for our place.

Our place is coming together slowly, but surely.  I'm slowly adding my crystal touch to everything and so far we are both loving how everything looks.  What I love best is that Peter and I make a great team and really work together through everything.  I love how I am in the middle of cooking and he'll come home after work and always offers a helping hand.  Even cleans up the apt when we are about to have guests over the weekend...I don't even have to ask.  My heart absolutely melts when I see him with Bear and I know he will be a wonderful father someday.

6 months and counting as I continue to fall in love even more with my best friend, my help mate, my life partner.

Best,
Crystal
