A few months ago I thought that life would be so much calmer once I didn't have to be so far away from the man I love. I was thinking that the two hours of commuting that he did was cutting into my time and I didn't like it. Well, for those of you that don't know yet, I am now happily married and this blog is now called Life with Muddy and Bubby!! It has been a little over two months since I have had the great joy and pleasure to marry Bubby. I seriously couldn't dream of a better husband. I have had many times of pure happiness in his company. I definitely have adjusted quickly to being with someone 24/7. I feel empty if I spend more than an hour away from Bubby. I hope I never smother him. :) But he says he feels the same and I totally believe him.
Although I love being married to the absolute best man in the world, there are a few tough adjustments to the married life. My husband and I have talked about this particular difficulty a few times and find that we have a common challenge. This challenge is feeling like you fit in with the new circle of family and friends that we get put into. I often feel guilty for the fact that Bubby now has to be friends with all the boys in my family. I feel like I have forced him into friendships that he otherwise would never have made. Having mentioned this to my husband, we have talked about how it feels. He isn't sure what to say or think when he is around my family and I am the same around his wonderful family. He assures me that he loves my family but just isn't quite himself with them. That is how I feel when I am with his family. Then we look at how long we have actually known each other. Although it feels like I have known him for forever, it really has only been 7 months since we first laid eyes on each other. Now out of that 7 months, we have not spent much of that time in the company of each others families. With that being said we came to the conclusion that what we really need is time. Time will allow us to be able to come closer to our new and old loved ones. I just hope that they all stay patient with us!!
Another thing about married life that is different than I thought it would be is that it is much more fast paced than I hoped. :) We are constantly on the go. The only day of the week that we both have nothing to do is Sunday. Oh wait... We do have Church and callings that fill our time. But these tasks are refreshing and allow us to remain together. On Sundays the only time I am separated from Bubby is when he is in the Priesthood meeting and I am in the Relief Society meeting. We have callings as ward missionaries and family history consultants. It is so fun!! Bubby and I are the only "kids" in my family that speak Spanish so that leaves us with a lot to do on my daddy's side!!
Anyways with Church, classes, volleyball, and work we are kept busy and on our toes. Life is meant to be enjoyed and I hope that we don't get too busy to enjoy the journey like we learned in General Conference this weekend. We are loving life and each other. What more can we ask for?! Nothing. :)

Brock and I struggled with the same thing when we were first married. It's hard getting to know family and making time for both families. It took me a long time to really feel completely comfortable around Brock's family so don't feel bad. We understand and are just glad to have you in the family. :) When we buy the house, we will definitely have to have you guys up for a house warming party. :)
