Back from the honeymoon, back to work, back to regular life (although regular life includes a wife now) and I'm loving it. Being married is so cool. I know that "it's gonna be tough" and "I've got a lot to learn" and every other bit of advice that I've been given by married couples young and old. The truth is, I don't like it when people tell me stuff like that. It makes me feel like they regret their marriage, like they want out. As if I've made some huge mistake (which unfortunately some would argue). I never want to see my marriage or my wife in any form of negative light. I know this will take a lot of work and, most of all, Jesus, but I think it's worth it...<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Don't you? </span><br /><br />So for everyone who has given me their advice, I'd like to give some in return:<br /><br /><i>Love your spouse like you just got married two weeks ago. </i><br /><br />It's a place where differences don't matter, fights are rare, and smiles are constant. Find that place and live there.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH26pG9ey-_XH1qT6Z9RO_Pwtl_8pLV_KG0J13tQQ1MnnXLmzIceag4tocHPHxmdufFgFYTQ2dVsGZhBsTTun9rpA14sf2QgeUCaHc4LZ1mrDLUXE-4JbH324cuzYLJ53c4CcH8hzHSooT/s1600/IMG_0466.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH26pG9ey-_XH1qT6Z9RO_Pwtl_8pLV_KG0J13tQQ1MnnXLmzIceag4tocHPHxmdufFgFYTQ2dVsGZhBsTTun9rpA14sf2QgeUCaHc4LZ1mrDLUXE-4JbH324cuzYLJ53c4CcH8hzHSooT/s320/IMG_0466.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633911159285883442" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Us dressed up all <i>fancy</i> on our honeymoon</div></div>GeorgiaDeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13194284654164284546noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682220095961683996.post-91064139272661367982011-06-29T22:42:00.000-07:002011-07-06T02:32:17.995-07:00The Invites<div style="text-align: center;">Our travel inspired wedding has not been manifested more than through the invitations we decided go with.
