Living quite long.

La vie est belle. Vraiment, vraiment, belle.

We got married 10 days ago! It was the best day of life. The pictures were so much fun, the ceremony was awesome, the reception was beautiful. All the decorations turned out amazingly well. The help we had from friends & family was overwhelming, and everything was just really nice.

On our honeymoon I picked up a book of short stories by Neil Gaiman (he wrote Coraline). He's a super weird/good/creepy/awesome writer. I am really enjoying reading through these stories. I like them, because he does his explaining of the context of the story in a way that you just have to figure out. It's like jumping into the middle of a conversation. But all the pieces are there to explain it, you just have to figure it out. It's excellent.

I love Andrew and I love being married. I have only 10 days of experience, but it's a good 10 days thus far. I could not be happier with my choice. We have giggle fits at night while trying to fall asleep and it's the best.

I got a new hair cut and I love it. I have thicker bluntish bangs and it's awesome. I couldn't wait to get it cut after the wedding. Wahoo!

The other day I realized how much of my actions/life can be dictated by how much I want people to like me and what I say and do. I'm pretty okay at setting that aside sometimes, but other times it really bothers me how much I think about things. Like the way a friend talked to me at my wedding or something, making me feel like maybe they were mad at me. Really? REALLY? Get a grip.

New goal: exist in a way that respects and loves me and others. Less bending for what I deem approval, less questioning decisions that I make and have considered, and less apologizing for things that do not require apologies.

Random mix of things to say hey? Yup.
