Ok so it has been one month....AHHHH!!! To think I am actually married for one month now. Craziness! So I ask myself...what am I loving and what am I wishing were different....
Here are my thoughts.
Loving Thoughts...
1. Companionship - I always have someone to come home to (that is a girl and not just a roommate - ha). This is huge for me, as I rarely like to be alone anyway.
2. Spiritual Growth - I feel as this has been one of the biggest growth times in my life as a result of marriage. We read and pray every night!
3. Healthier Lifestyle - She cooks healthier than my prior fast food diet and we exert tons of energy everyday with each other, usually at night...haha!!!
Wishing thoughts...
1. Sleep - It has been hard for both of us to sleep at night. We toss and turn, as we had different sleeping preferences (i.e. noise, no noise, etc.) so this has been challenging.
2. Sacrifice - It is not about me anymore. I have to always think with her in mind with everything I do, i.e. spending money, planning trips, etc.
All said, I love it and hear it only gets better...thoughts? Does it only get better? Any ideas on the above points...from you marrieds or singles alike...

Marriage Life
The time is here! I guess it gets here for most of us, but Saturday, December 17, 2005 is my day. And for some reason, I am quite nervous. I don't know if any of you got nervous before your big day, but I am. Thus, I am writing this to all you married persons out there. Any advice for me? Any words of wisdom in my last few days as a single man? I look up to all of you married guys and gals out there just because you are married and thus are more experts on marriage than me. I think here are my biggest causes of nervousness...
1. The wedding night - an obvious one for someone who has never been there.
2. The idea of entering something so final - Don't get me wrong, I am pumped about it overall. However, for a guy who only had one girlfriend and is 27, ahhhh! (but it really is a good ahhhh)
3. Parents - I really hope my parents will come to love and enjoy her family, and Shannon as well. This has been a little rocky so far.
4. My selfishness - I never realized how selfish I am until now! And now I have to share that with another.
5. Provision - Now I have to provide for others and not just myself anymore. Every decision I make affects more than just me.
And I am sure there are others, but this is what I have for now. Again, don't get me wrong, I am excited about going through with this, but am just nervous. Any other former nervous grooms out there?
