I have always been pretty okay with change. My husband is not as easily persuaded that change is good. In all the time I have been with him (almost EIGHT years now!!!) we have not had to experience that much change as a couple. Marriage and living with me is about the extent of his change (and that took me 7 years!). Now that we are married and thinking about starting a family (I said THINKING- don't get too excited!), we are looking forward and preparing ourselves for the change. How can you prepare for something like that? How can you go from dating, to engaged, to married with dog, to married with dog and house and baby and, and, and…? Is there a way to make all this change easier on us as a couple? You can never be prepared enough to take the next leap of faith, to make the next change in your life, and I get that. But is there a check list that once completed means you are ready to bound from tall buildings onto taller ones? If there is I want a copy of it!
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”This is my prayer for now. This will be what gets me though the exciting transitions with (hopefully) less stress and worry. BRING IT ON! I'm ready for whatever comes my way. I will embrace the changes and take on my roll as wife, home owner, and mother with as much gusto as I can!
With lots of love,
Your Newly Wed Blogger,
