Ok, I'm a slacker

So it's been about a month and I PROMISED to write about the wedding day... but honestly, most of you have already heard about it. It was a WONDERFUL day - PERFECT! And I couldn't be happier!

Our honeymoon was FANTASTIC and I think it worked out perfectly with the balance of being busy and relaxing. All the pictures from it are on Picasa, and on our Facebook.

So now that we're back to regular life, I've had more questions about, "Do you feel different?" Even Bruno asked me. And honestly, well, I kinda do and I kinda don't. I'm thinking since we've already been living together, sharing expenses and a bank account, well, being married so far is like not being married. But I am happier... I really am. Sometimes I just sit back and think about how lucky I am to have found such an amazing guy, who loves me SO much, and takes care of me... he's just awesome and I love him SO much!!!

Ok, mushy-stuff done...

Maybe the "I feel different" will take affect when I go through all the name change stuff. I've started the process... but it's a long one. And with a lot of other stuff going on right now, changing my name immediately isn't the best thing. So I'm pretty certain when I really have to refer to myself as Molly de Lima-Campos... and become that new person, then I will feel different. Right now, honestly, I just feel old! Even though I'm still 28, as I was before we got married, I feel old when saying, "I'm waiting for my husband." I'm very proud to say it, and love it and embrace it, but when I say that to people I don't know, I just feel old. Has anyone else felt that way?

I also thought that I would miss the planning, but I don't. I like coming home and not having to worry about it. Of course I still ready the WeddingBee blog 15 times a day, but I don't miss the planning. I was super happy with the wedding, and would only change minor things... (like printing a little neater on the placecards) but it wa perfect. Everyone had a fantastic time and we honestly had the greatest exit ever! I can't wait to see the video.

But that's where we are. Back to the regular day to day, but working towards becoming Mrs. de Lima-Campos. I'm excited for my new "identity" but a little sad too. But I love seeing "Molly and Bruno de Lima-Campos" on cards :)

I love the word husband. Its still pretty much my favorite thing to say in reference to Steve. And its not "old" its more adult and grown up. Because we're not old so we mustnt use that word. ;) But I get how you feel.

I was the same as you where we were already living together so it didn't feel too different. But I remember being in the grocery store I think back from our honeymoon and I just had this feeling of "i'm in the grocery store with my husband..weird!" I have gotten a little used to saying "husband" but I think it's more grown up than old. and you can't be old because i'm 2 years (exactly-LOL) older than you. We went to the social security office and officially had my name changed to Samantha Woods Scaman, but I still haven't gotten quite used to it or I'm still signing things with Woods. Are you keeping your middle name as is or making 'School' your middle name?
