My Marriage In A Month

The city's alight. It's 10.47 pm and all the world's awake. Tim is dozing in bed, waiting for me to reheat yesterday's meatloaf, and his belated Christmas pressie is waiting for him in the living room.

We've had our ups and downs this month, our first month of truly living together as husband and wife, and while we haven't nailed it yet (by far), we're getting there. It's not going to be easy, and I need to watch what I do and say (I've been single and listening to myself for far too long), but I'll do it.

Because I'm the happiest I've ever been.

There, I've said it. Finally.

Happy 2009. May love and peace blanket this night, and every night thereafter.
