Yes, it's a silly play on words, and no, I don't see my main identity as being "wife." But as a newlywed, I am enjoying this whole intro to married life.
We were married July 2nd in Maine, in the perfect wedding - I'll add some photos later.
Since then, we enjoyed a mini-moon, a family reunion, and our return to Pittsburgh, where we are now back to reality - ugh.
One of my goals before we take the crazy, far-away step of having kids is to come up with a fantastic repertoire of healthy and delicious recipes (we both want to lose weight, so healthy is key here), as well as pick up some other improved domestic skills. I mean, I can do a mean load of laundry, but when it comes to maintaining a comfortable, tidy existence... I'd really rather be reading a magazine. And the same applies for my new husband, who also wants to work on those skills (or else).
We are also super excited to be married and really enjoying the renewed energy that no longer having to plan a wedding has given us. We're trying to pour that energy into having the best-ever first year of marriage; everyone says it's the hardest, so we figure, let's set the awesomeness bar pretty high for subsequent years. So in here, I'll chronicle the quest to improve our cooking, tidiness, dating, decorating, what we learn about married life, and whatever else feels relevant to being a newlywed. The goals are, where applicable, healthy, cost-effective, fun, and meaningful.
And now we're off to the supermarket to pick up some hideously fattening ingredients to make goodies for the ever-delicious block party this weekend. After which we'll pick up some deliciously healthy ingredients for next week's battle of the salads. I will report back on our adventures both in baking and in salads.
