I love my life. I feel like I've finally found who I am and what I'm destined for and where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. I'm living my destiny, right now, in this moment, this is what I'm supposed to be doing. I've never been happier or more content. Everything in my life has brought me to this moment, to being a wife, to being me.
If I spent everyday doing what I've been doing the last two days I'd be happy for the rest of my life. Yesterday I cleaned the house a bit, did 5 loads of laundry, cooked dinner, Travis and I hung some pictures in our living room and I re-arranged all the roses I have scattered around my house from the wedding. Today I went to Calgary to pick up some stuff from our registry at the Bay. We are able to add stuff until our one year anniversary and anything we buy off the registry is discounted. I bought a ton of stuff today and was expecting a huge bill but nope, not for me! I was shocked at how little I spent for the amount of stuff I got. We completed our bedroom linens with a new duvet, duvet cover, bedskirt and another set of sheets and I bought a few things for the kitchen. Then I came home and cooked dinner and Travis went to fire practice. I'm cooking turkey dinner tomorrow for my in-laws (that still sounds weird), Travis's grandpa and Jenn so I went to the store to pick up a few final things. I came home and made the cranberry sauce, from scratch! I've never done that before and I don't like cranberries so I have no idea if it's going to be good or not but it sure smelled good. Then I made a few dozen chocolate chip cookies cause I was stupid and told my husband, before we were married, that I'd make him cookies whenever he wanted. I'm going to pay for that one. I mixed up some buttermilk pancake batter and it's sitting in the fridge with some raspberries as a special treat for Travis before he goes to work. It will be an extra special treat if I manage to get out of bed to cook them for him ;0) just kidding, of course I will. So I did all my prep work and pre-cooking I can for dinner tomorrow, I organized my recipes and figured out when things need to go in the oven and when they should be done (we watch a lot of the Food Network on TV), so I should be set for my first big dinner as a wife. I'll be sure to take pictures and post them tomorrow...if it's a success.
Yay, my husband is home.

I'm so glad that you are so very happy. You deserve it. sending love...
Mel,
So glad you have found that unending happiness. In the end, no matter how career focused we are to be, its always the most satisfying (at least for me) to come home to my home and "family" (aka hubby and puppy).
Those things are the things that are the most constant and the things that love you no matter how hard a day you have had, or how grumpy one can be!
So reading your post made my tummy flip a bit as I totally understand that contentness.
I have to admit though; I'm not letting Brent read your post as all the talks about cookies and buttermilk pancakes my increase demands in my household LOL!
Love ya!
Ah, wedded domestic bliss! It is a wonderful feeling! We are so happy for you and for Travis... and, at the same time, sad that we don't live close enough to see you guys all the time [with the added benefit that we would be able to take advantage of the cookie deal ;)]. Can you send me your favourite cookie recipe? It'd be fun to make Auntie Mel and Uncle Travis cookies with the girls!
Mmmmm mmmm turkey dinner! Can't wait to see the pictures. We're lucky that Jeff's mom is putting on a turkey dinner for us - as I don't think that either Jeff or I have the energy to tackle a turkey diner... but boy do I love turkey dinners!
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Wedded Domestic Bliss!
