11 Days...
It seems odd that life has resumed a mostly-normal course after so brief (and long!) a time! Our time on our honeymoon went blissfully slow - enough that we were well-rested and ready to come home this last weekend. I've got a few goofy honeymoon shots to post here once I have non-work access again.
Home. Home, for me, consists of more than a full bookcase, a noisy computer and a preoccupied cat now - I have someone to wake up with in the mornings and laugh with as we prepare for sleep. Even though it's taken until today to really settle in and feel like I belonged there, I find myself settling into the homely routines already.
All in all - I've always hated being alone, and now I'm not. There is something about the empty silence of a place that has always unsettled me, and knowing that the silence will be filled with more than mechanical noises and radio waves - is something of a blessing.
I can see that it will take time to adjust - even a bed of roses has its thorns - but I pray that we will continue to be as focused on each other, and not our selfish wants, as we have been these last days.
