couple more days and i'll have been married ONE whole year. it went by really fast. i still havent even done the whole name change process [sorry bobby.] i really need to get on that. lucky for the husband, they dont have to change anything. the wife, on the other hand has to change everything that has her maiden name attached to it. i must make a list and tackle it. i think i've given myself enough time to let the wedding/marriage sink in and i'm ready to ditch the "archuleta." weird when you have gone your whole life this far with one identity and now it changes. i will confirm that the person i am hasnt changed one bit :) i feel like i am a better person, a great wife, a great mother and step-mother too. i have gained a partner who i know would give me the world any chance he got. not many people can say that.
i read this quote today and i think it completely sums up my marriage.
"What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility."
my husband and i are two opposite people, but opposites attract. having too much of something isn't always a good thing. i think our differences balance us out :)
so as we approach our one year anniversary, the traditional gift is paper. i've google searched different ideas such as tickets, books, pictures, poems, gift certificates, coupon books, board games, a letter etc.
i know it doesn't have to be paper BUT i think it will be fun to keep with the tradition. my husband is hard to shop for, aren't all men? i think i have an idea of what I'm going to get him! a roll of toilet paper would work, right?! im kidding, but it would be a good gag gift!
stay posted for the gift exchange!
