I've made a lot of transitions over the past year. I've gone from girlfriend to fiancee, fiancee to wife, but the hardest transition so far has been transitioning out of vacation mode and back to reality after my wedding.
The whole month of November has seemed like an ongoing party - we had our bachelor/bachelorette parties to go to, a bridal shower, I took the whole week of my wedding off to prepare (even though I was working to finish decorations and boutonniere's, I still felt like I was on vacation - just a productive vacation), and then we were off on our honeymoon after a week of being back at work, which probably didn't count because I was daydreaming about exotic locales the whole time.
It was really hard to drag ourselves out of bed this past week, partly due to getting back to the shock of reality, partly due to the fact that we kept staying up late to prolong the party (which is easy with all the extra alcohol we have around the house left over from the reception). It's like we're on the 'Yay, I'm Married!' Party Bus, but everyone else got off a few stops ago and we're trying to get a conga line going to keep this thing rolling!
I know that people can't be excited about it forever, and the craziness will die down for us after a few weeks, but right now saying the word 'husband' makes me smile. So i'm just going to enjoy it and soak up this lazy Sunday before I have to drag myself out of bed tomorrow morning and go to work daydreaming of exotic locales.
