Married Life

Married life is going wonderfully. Being newlyweds is great. Today is Saturday. This means Marcelo is working until noon, and I should be cleaning the house. But I'm being bad and playing a little. I'll clean later. I haven't updated my journal in forever, so I thought I would.

The latest news:

My brother and his wife had a baby boy. Nunzio. He's a month and a half old. He's sooooooo cute. There are pictures on my brother's website. In other news, David left on his mission to Barcelona. It was the saddest saddest time of my life. Saying goodbye was quite possibly the hardest thing I've EVER had to do, for real. Including the time when my grandma was dying. It ripped me apart to have to say bye to my baby brother for 2 years. He's only been gone for a week and a half and I have already written him 4 letters. I miss him already, and I'm gonna miss him for the entire time he's gone. I know he's gonna love it and he wrote to me so I already know he's happy. But still. He's leaving a big hole in my heart. I love that stupid kid.

What else? My uncle Andrés got married. I love my new aunt. She's sweet. We never thought my uncle would get married. But he did and he's very happy. In his words, "Married life is excellent. I highly recommend it." They live 3 hours away.

In other wedding news, my cousin Andrea married Marcelo's cousin Irv. It's going to be cool to have my cousin at all of Marcelo's family functions.

And last but not least in the area of news, Marcelo and I are having a baby. Just kidding. We're not. Not for two years, hopefully. But we're having an awesome time. I mean, we're crazy busy with work and school, but life is still swell. I've never been soooooo happy for so long in my life. It's not just a saying...marriage really is bliss. We never fight, we're super lovey dovey all the time, and everything is seriously great. I think it helps that we're both struggling with work and school because we understand exactly what each other needs...and that is to be able to come home to each other and lose all our worries. So that's what we do. Sometimes we have horrible horrible days at work or are feeling super crappy cuz we failed a test or something, and it's soooo crappy, that when we come home, we almost laugh about it because we just hug each other and think, man this stupid life is so dumb. THIS, right here right now, in our humble home, is REAL life. Having his support and doing my best to support him, I think, is what really helps to keep things wonderful. I love Marcelo soooooooo much. Ok, I must clean before the owner of the house comes home. hehe.
