I’m Married!
When I started this blog in 2003, I had just graduated high school and was preparing for college. I’d be living away from home and among a bunch of freshmen. It was a bit overwhelming, but I was excited for the change. College was a surprising amount of work and a good deal of fun with the friends I made.
In 2007, I graduated college and was preparing for life “in the real world.” It was difficult not living next door to all my friends, where we could shout down the hall for impromptu movies, video game challenges, or other running amuck. Now most of them have also graduated and are headed off to start new jobs and families.
Now in 2009, I’m entering the next big chapter of my life: marriage! Sky’s always been great at helping and encouraging me, so I’m quite excited to have her an official part of my life. I’m sure she’s quite excited to have to write out her new–and quite long– last name. I think one of the best parts of the marriage for both of us is not having to drive home at the end of the night which we did so many times while dating.
We’re up to all sorts of fun stuff. You can read about and view photos of The Wedding of Awesomeness. There are also some honeymoon photos and other insights into the marriage on our blog. You can also check out the Wedding of Awesomness photos on Facebook (even if you don’t have a Facebook account).
What do you think? What are your favorite parts of marriage? What do you look forward to in marriage? What are some tips to a successful marriage?

Everything being new is, appropriately, one of the best parts about being a newlywed. I like that when we do anything, it is an adventure.
Making up right after you have a fight is something I find to be a tip to a successful marriage. It’s very hard to always be around your spouse when you’re mad at them, so the best thing is to get done being mad right quick. My husband is better at that than me though; I still have to work at it!

I look forward to being able to spend everyday with Aaron and not have to drive him home and leave to go back to my place as hopefully it will be our place soon. I also look forward to seeing how God will use us in ministry together once we are married and not doing the whole,running into Erie from Corry thing anymore.

I agree that not having to drive home after a date is a great part of being married. I remember the first Sunday that we went to church together after our wedding that it was so surreal but cool to drive to and arrive at church together. It was like it solidified that we were married.
Marriage tip: use your resources; Pastor and Vikki can be a great help, especially after the relationship built during pre-marital counseling.
