Much time has past since my last entry and feel bad for my poor and neglected blog. Of course now, I am now Mrs. Lee; well, almost. I’m still Ms. Chan and working on/thinking about changing my name. But that is a whole other entry. There are many things that I wanted to write about in my engagement journey and want to back track including the bachelorette party, the actual wedding and the honeymoon. For now what I can share about being a newly wed is that it’s not what I expected, in good and not so good ways. When I hear people say that a relationship shouldn’t be work I need them to clarify. The different levels of a relationship requires more work than others and marriage is work – the critical variable in any level of a relationship however, is happiness. Some people who haven’t seen in a while congratulate me getting married, but they also follow it with, “Marriage is not for me”, “I’m still young”, or “half of today’s marriages end in divorce”. I’m not sure why anyone in good tact would say that to a newlywed, but though you can’t fight statistics, you don’t have to fall into cynicism.
So what will this blog be from now on? What my journey will be as Mrs. Lee and that sounds so promising.
Hey old xanga friend! I miss your posts but now I’ve got wordpress too. YAY! Congrats on being married – it’s wonderful and even though it is A LOT of unexpected work (like, where the heck is my bonus check?!) I wouldn’t trade being married what so ever. It’ll be 4 years for us in August and even though my husband’s breath stinks and he lets himself go without a bath for two days, I still look at him and think he’s the hottest man around.
Hope this balances out the cynicism.
Oh wow! Hi old xanga friend! Thanks for finding me! I didn’t recognize your name at first and then I saw your son’s picture and remember immediately that cutie pie!!! It’s been such a long time since I logged into xangaland.
Is it really 4 years for you already? Time flies, I’ll probably be saying the same thing when we hit 1 year.
