Married life... Month 3

For those of you who have not dropped in to visit, Mike and I are entering into our third month as a happily married couple. I will choose not to rehash the details of said wedding here (you can also check here), as i have already done so. Instead, as we enter into spring, let's talk about how things are now!

How things have changed... or not

Sometimes I feel like there should have been some sort of a change after our marriage. There hasn't been. It's pretty much the same except for the obvious (and slow) progression of my change in last names, and the fact that we both have a new peice of jewlery to wear each day. We still share a house with three other people, sleep in the same bed we did before our marriage, still have the same financial stability that we did, still hang out with friends and family with our previous regularity. Literally nothing has changed in the way we feel about each other and how we interact.

This may mean that we were pretty much a boring married couple prior to ever getting married... I'm completely okay with that!

What really has changed...

What really has changed is that people ask us all manner of questions about when we plan to start a family, how many children we intend to grace this world with, and any other sometimes inappropriate question surrounding producing a family that they can think of.

Here is our canned answer for all of the questions:

Dear Family and friends:

Mike and I are not planning on having children at this time. This is not to say that we will never have children, simply that we are not planning for it at present. This will not be on any agenda for discussion until such time as we are no longer sharing a home with 3 other people, 3 large dogs and a cat. With how full the house is presently, we feel that there should be a partridge in a pear tree present as well. We understand that you are simply interested and invested in our lives, but rest assured that should such a time arise that we are with child, we will most assuredly shout it from the very rooftops. And all forms of social media. Also an e-mail will likely go out. Possibly even a phone call.

Love,

Mike and Mari

Well, that's all we have for today be sure to check back again soon!
