So we've been married for 6 months and we just realized (and Chris blamed me, of course, as men do LOL) that we haven't sent away our "Record of Solemnization of Marriage" to get our marriage certificate. Legally, we aren't married yet haha! Oops. I'm going to do that tomorrow, take it into ServiceOntario. At least we know the minister's copy has been there for a while! Oh well.
Its amazing to me that its been 6months. The wedding brings back great memories and some sad ones, as you know, but mostly great. We did it. Finally. After everything we went through, getting engaged (almost 3 years ago now) , graduating higher education, getting real jobs, and then buying a house, planning & having a baby and having a wedding all in the same year! We were nuts! haha
Its kind of funny, because even though I was never a bridezilla or ALL ABOUT PLANNING I did miss it afterwards. I think it was because there "was nothing left to look forward to" which is ridiculous. I guess I felt that way because really, we have done everything. We have careers (we may want to change them, but as a whole we are okay), we own our home, our vehicles, have a child and are married! What else is there? Maybe more children (likely more children, hopefully), a new vehicle here and there, maybe 10 yrs down the road a new house...but really. Nothing BIG anymore or so it felt (feels?). For years now there's always been a goal in mind for me. Going to school, graduating school, finding a job, buying a house, getting married, having a baby. Guess I'm kind of lost in a sense. Happy, but a bit lost lol.
Anyone else felt or feel that way?
Yes! All the time. I constantly try to load more on my plate so I can feel as though I have accomplished a lot. I am never satisfied with the status quo and am always looking for something else, school, babies, renos, moving, jobs, volunteer stuff etc. Kids are good because I can revel in their major milestones (my oldest starts kindergarten this fall!). I think there is some sort of research that says that anticipation is often a greater rush than actually accomplishing the goal but I can't remember where I heard it.
