I'm married!
Nope, it hasn't really sunk in yet, but all week on our honeymoon, I kept looking at jeremy's hand thinking... why is there a ring on your finger?? Oh. Right. People would say husband or wife to us and I'd get a small flip in my tummy. So, married life is good so far. Somehow it isn't the same yet. It feels very different. I feel a little more unified. We make all of our decisions together, and I find myself more and more inclined to listen to him (lol).
So, I know most people reading this were at the wedding, but I know Yocheved wasn't, so here's a quick re-cap:
weather sucked all day on saturday, but it didn't rain, so we had the wedding outside as planned. The sky was cloudy which sucked but from what I'm told, that makes the best pictures. anyway, I would have never expected to get nervous or emotional, but it wasn't until I was in the waiting room ready to walk out that I started shaking and freaking out, and I was trying so hard not to cry! (happily) So, I'm pretty sure my dad almost cried and my mom was a basket case.
Aside from a few mishaps (my hairdresser got sick and couldn't come) (but I got a replacement) (we got the wrong arch for the ceremony) (but it was still pretty) (there was unexplainably a roll of duct tape and bright red scissors sitting on the sand ceremony table the whole time) (not sure how that happened) everything went beautifully. Marcus sang, there was a string trio which I paid absolutely no attention to, the only reason I know they were there at all is because I saw them after the ceremony. Interesting how you block things like that out. Thoughts kept racing through my mind.. like am I really doing this?? but everything came so naturally. It only seemed natural to say "I do" and to put a ring on his finger. before I knew it, it was over. The reception was chaotic on my end, but the few pictures I've seen and the blurry memory indicate that it was beautiful. yay my florist! She did an awesome job. The only thing that ticked me off was the DJ. I won't even get into that, but basically, I don't know what mine and jeremy's first dance was because it sure wasn't the one we picked out! Anyway, it was good.
The honeymoon was nice. I really appreciated getting away from everything, no cell phone, no computer, just hangin with tha hubby. we were on a newlywed gameshow on the cruise which was taped and played on loop on the TVs on the ship for the remainder of the cruise. We went snorkeling, kayaking, and shopping/walking around. My advice is to go on excursions if you take this cruise. they are awesome, but the ports alone... not so much. weather was great and everything went smoothly.
THEN.... we got back.
Here's why reality world sucks. Our flight was delayed, there was a scary angry man on the plane, and that's all before I got a couple hours of sleep and came to work this morning. Let me tell you. So, I should explain that I am doing an internship with DDI this summer which ends this friday. they have been working to get a full time job here, which is needed by both me and them, and was finally approved on the 11th. My boss called and said, great news! the job is approved, you can stop looking for other jobs, and we'll talk out all the details when you get back. Enjoy your honeymoon! SO, I did. This morning I get a call from him. DDI has had a hiring freeze. They can't hire anyone. Thus, as of friday at 5pm, I am unemployed! yay! I wouldn't be so discouraged if I hadn't been looking for the last month, to no avail. This sucks. I have a college degree! It should NOT be this hard to find a good job that is NOT in sales! DAMMIT TECH!
