So we got married on October 24th! You haven’t heard from me because it’s been insanely busy as I adjust to becoming a wife, a mother, and my commute changed from being 25 min to 45 min-1 hour one way.

I must say that things are going pretty well. We are having our moments here and there….but it’s understandable with all the adjustments. His being a widower hasn’t been factoring into our relationship. I think we’ve reached a phase of where most of what we deal with is related to the former in-laws and his family. So for those of you struggling with the widower issues – there is hope! There can be periods of rest from the issues!

For example, last month his late wife’s mother asked for their Christmas tree. I guess she had given it to them several years ago, and now she wanted it back. So we gave it to her even though we’d been planning to use it. She has periodically been asking for things back. It’s annoying.

So for my loyal readers, I thank you. I’m going to try to write more regularly. Recently my priority has been spending all my time with my new son and ensuring that transition goes well, and then giving as much as I can to my husband. Not much time to go around when you work full time with a commute like mine.

I’ve added a few pictures. This is something I haven’t done as I’ve tried to protect my anonymity! So here’s two from the wedding that should still keep things ok.
