Good-byes

I've been working on packing up everything I have here in UT, and I found myself thinking about all the things I'll miss about being unmarried, and things I can't wait for! enjoy ~

Good-bye:

Late night rende-vous with my roommates
Roommates
A nice apartment!
Pink bed sheets (maybe)
Leaving my things everywhere
Richards (the name, not my family! I will never leave them!)
Lone decisions about use of money
Leaving on a last minute trip with my girls
Singles Ward (thats kind of a good thing!)
Parents Health and Car insurance

Hello:

Waking up and going to sleep with my best friend every night
Not having Andrew leave at night
Married Ward
Always having someone to hold
Reserved Spending
New Adventures
Playing house 24/7
Temple Visits
Permanent study buddy
Whole new world (try not to start singing Aladdin!)
Eternal Happiness :)

that's cute afton. and after a while there won't be anything you miss about being single cause being married really is so awesome! i think it's just about enjoying every stage of life WHILE you're in it. sounds like you've done a great job of this!

I love this Afton. And I agree with Amy 100%.

I don't know about the playing house thing, though I guess I ended up cleaning and picking up after my roommates most of the time anyway!

Yes, there are things to miss, but they become less important the longer you're married. It's a lot of work, but man, I love it! And I love my man!

Congrats, Andrew and Afton! I hope your special day was nothing short of PERFECT!

Welcome to life's most wonderful adventure ever!

That was awesome to read! You might not be able to comprehend this but I was your age once. It's true.

Your "musing" popped me right back to that time of the great transition into married life. It's surreal. And it sounds like you're managing much better than it did!! I cried myself to sleep every night for two weeks missing my best single friend, Lynley.

Happy to say, after 15 years of all kinds of married ups and downs, I can promise you that it's a sweet, sweet thing to have a companion for life and hopefully into the eternities.

Good luck in your travels kiddo!
