Adjusting to this new life

Sometimes I still think it's strange to be married. Or rather, that I am married. Most of the time, I'm still unsure how to act as a married woman. It just seems like I'm living with a man now, and nothing is really different. Other than we are constantly around one another. Which has it's good and bad points. :-)
The other morning I woke up and looked at Phil and thought "There is a man in bed. Weird." It's still sometimes strange to me that we live together. That we are married.

Being married is not as easy as I thought it would be. I know that everyone says marriage is hard, and through all the pre-marital counseling sessions we went through (and we went through a lot! I wanted to make sure we did it right), I knew that marriage wouldn't be easy. It's just...I didn't know what it was about marriage that wasn't easy. Nobody came right out and said "this is difficult and this is difficult". I guess it's just one of those things that you figure out for yourself. And maybe it's different for everyone.
Luckily we haven't had any serious difficulties (yet). I think the biggest adjustment for me is being around each other all the time. Living in the same space. Sharing everything. It's the little things. Adjusting to how he does things versus how I do them. And trying not to be annoyed in the process.
I like the bed to be made after we wake up. To me, it just make the room feel cleaner. He could care less. We're just gonna sleep in it again. And when he does make the bed...I find myself getting annoyed at the WAY he makes. Stupid stuff like that. Stuff that doesn't really matter, but everyday stuff.
There are bigger things that we are starting to get into as well. Through all of our counseling, we learned that money is the number one thing that most couples fight about. Well, we are no different. Our spending habits are completely different. And it doesn't help matters that neither one of us have gotten a job yet. So we are also learning how to communicate with one another effectively. Our communication styles are completely different.
It's all just a learning process. And we haven't even been married 3 months yet :-)

Luckily though, Phillip is my best friend. And that's not going to change. He's the sweetest guy I know. He loves me, he cherishes me, and he would do anything to make me happy. He puts up with me and continues to love me even when I'm intentionally being annoying.
What a guy!
