Honeymoon's Over

Honeymoon's over! We kidded about it the entire ride back from the airport. I had heard of brides that felt depressed after a wedding, and I could understand it...see where they were coming from. But that wasn't me. My problem was a little different, and much more sinister...harder to overcome.

I was (and am) terrified of being a wife.

I was a great bride. Truly. I wasn't overbearing, did most of the planning on my own, and didn't command that everything be all about me for the entire year and a half we were engaged. I had being a bride down pat. I rocked as a bride.

But a good bride does not a good wife make. A good bride can pick out beautiful items for her kitchen; but it is the good wife that has to know how to use them. I have beautiful china and all the best appliances...I was a great bride remember? But that kitchenaide mixer sits on our counter and taunts me...a great wife I am not.

So this is a blog about trying to become a great wife. A type of guide...only not written by an expert. No, not a "how-to", definitely not...more of a diary of trial and error. I don't know how it turns out, but how hard can it be right?
