3 weEKs DowN....EteNiTy tO Go

Today is our 3 week marriage anniversary. And yes I am just sappy enough to post about it. Because being married is fun and I like to share this with all of you! I like being married way more than I thought I would. I knew I would like it but I didn't know how much.
I kinda figured since I work full time I wouldn't want to have to be the wife to come home and do those "wifely things" namely cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc. I even thought maybe I resented the thought of having to do any of that. But to be quite honest, I love doing the wifely things. Yes my day is busy. I wake up before the sun comes up. I leave for work around 6am. I work all day and get home around 4:30-5, then I straighten up anything that may need to be done which shouldn't be a lot but sometimes it is, then Brent comes home, I talk to him a bit, I start dinner while he starts to study, if needed I do any other necessary chores, laundry etc, then we eat, I clean the kitchen, he studies, and sometimes I hang out at home and sometimes I go to the store, or to James and Kara's, or whatever. And I really do love doing these things. I love serving Brent, not in a subserviant type of way but in a how do you show your love to others, you serve them. And he is so appreciative and offers to help. I also know that with school he is busy and he is doing his best not only for himself but for me as well. And he serves me as too.
He is a very affectionate person. I love this about him. My love language is physical touch so it works well for me and his is quality time so it works well for him. When we are sitting near each other I almost always get a back rub or a foot massage. He starts my car for me every morning so I don't get cold. He says thank you! We have a little notebook that we write to each other in. I love that we will always have this and our kids will have it and so on. Well anyways, he wrote just this week how much he appreciates everything that I do. From going to work everyday to support us to the small things like starting the dishwasher.
I know, I know, so many of you read this and say things such as newlywed bliss, I remember when so and so did that for me, but why not just let me assume that this will continue forever. Because it just might. Yes things will change, eventually he will go to work and I will stay home, then there will be kids, and all the other crazy things life gives you but we will be just fine.
Tonight we are going to a Grizzlie game with our good friend Arianne! We love this girl. She is so fun and so nice to take us with her to her game. The seats will be awesome but the company is even better. I'll try to take some pics and post them soon.
We leave for California tomorrow. And no I haven't packed, yes I work tomorrow, and yes I need to get laundry done before I go to bed....guess I'll be up very late tonight.

THE EATON FAMILY

The day everyone came into town we decided to take the opportunity to get a new family picture with all the new additions. There were 5 new people who needed in. So we all got together and took the picture. I love how Beck is leaned into Brent, mom's hand is on his shoulder, and his hand is on mine. Oh, I love this man.

What's in a Name?

Apparently everything. Changing your name on things can be quite the daunting task. A new drivers licence, social security card, insurance, banking information, etc. There are a lot of places that need to see you in person, during business hours (which happen to be my work hours), holding a copy of your certified marriage certificate, and whatever else they may or may not want you to have. It's pure madness trying to change you name. I think I'm a lot closer to having it done now. The drivers licence is taken care of, the social security card (I'm waiting for it in the mail), I've been to the bank, to Brent's bank to add me on to his account, I've called and set up my insurance in my new name, I've changed my beneficiary on all documents, so I am assuming that I am about done.
I'm getting use to having a new name. I actually really like it....Sandra Marie Adamson. I just works for me.
Yesterday after work I was suppose to go have my dress fitted for Jenn's wedding in Jackson so I set up my dinner night with Kristen and Chrystal too. The dress fitting got canceled but the dinner was still on. So I had a great time with these ladies. Then I headed over to the Griffiths so Christine could show me how to submit my final grades for the online class I've been teaching. Since it was going to be a late night I spent the night at mom and dads. And since my dress fitting got moved until today, I plan to just stay in Jackson again tonight. It's a good thing Brent and I aren't clingy. It wasn't even weird staying at mom and dads or not staying with Brent. It actually felt really normal. Guess I was doing it just a few weeks ago. Gotta love how busy life is.

The Dress

The Dress Maker! Love love love this woman!

The Dress. The pefect dress! One of a kind!

Well, I am officially married and it's been almost 3 weeks. 3 weeks of wedding bliss. It's been great and easy so far. I've tried to blog it 3 times now but for some reason I can't finish it.


My sealing day was absolutely perfect. I was surrounded by those that I love the most! All my family was there, Brent's family, and all my best friends. I could not have asked for more. I was overwhelmed by the feeling of love that day not only Brent loving me but all the others as well. My professional pics aren't done yet.....but here are some from my friends cameras. Again, I am blessed.

My dress was perfect. It was more than perfect. It was love! I love this dress. No one will ever have a dress exactly like mine. It's a Candice orginal. Candice, you are one of the most talented people I know. Thank you so much for this. Thank you for the dress, all the time you put into it, and for finding me the perfect jewlery. I love it so much. My wedding day, reception day, would not have been the same without you there!
