well .. im married now =) and i am done with school for a while, and my family met mike and loved him, and we all had tons of fun doing lots of fun stuff for 10 full days, almost 24hours a day (ok, make that 18 hours a day)... and they left me for home *sob sob*... and mike and i went for our final design appointment and picked out stuff that goes inside our new housie, which is the final design choice we shall make and whatever we picked will come to materialize in the next several months.... and now i have a weekend ish before i have to start work at allstate *huwargh* ...

and yeah ... life seems to be somewhat smooth sailing.. cept for the fact that i have an entire laundry list of things to do so i can move along with this green card application process (which is seemingly nightmarish) and i have to, at the same time, apply for my passport renewal... kinda nuts, i thought things wont stay this chaotic but i was WRONG!

so being married doesnt feel any different than not being married .. ok well, nothing too drastic on the surface, most of the differences have maintained a more implicit shape... for example, i feel that everything that i have done with mike and for mike, and for the both of us, is now much more fully vested and secured.. there is an unspoken bond and emotions of security and eternity, at least of my behalf .. that we have signed something that bonded us together .. and its kinda nice to know that i wont have to worry about the future in terms of losing a part of me.. knowing that there IS a future is also nice .. and with the person that ive known for 3 years ...

the other thing that is different is terminology wise - i am starting to get used to the "wifey" reference and calling him my "husband". quite weird in the beginning, it still feels somewhat weird.. but honestly, whats really different? i mean, its JUST terminology right?

so all those people who told me that things will drastically change once i get married - i might have a good rebuttal for them =)
