A peep into married life

Many of the happiest moments of my life had passed since the last time i wrote an entry. The anticpation in awaiting to see my beloved then fiance, the overwhelming joy to see him again, the stress of preparing for the wedding, the thankfulness of finally being married, the relief when the wedding is all behind us, the excitment in exploring places up north during our 3 weeks long honeymoon, the reluctance to coming back home, the frustrations in trying to get a unit and applying for a student visa and now, the eagerness to get back home to Singapore as a married couple.

Since getting back from our honeymoon, we have settled down heaps and getting quite a good feel of being married in reality. Not that we have always been in a fantasy but that being away on a honeymoon immediately did not give us a feel of how it would be like around pple we know being married. Now that we are back, it did felt a little strange to be calling him my husband or to be known as Mrs Higgs but altogether the more we use it, the more used we get used to it. Sometimes, it just slip my mind that he is actually a Caucasian.

So interesting to reflect on the general sterotype of the typical young Caucasian bloke i held just a while back (maybe even just before i met and got to know Josh) was one that is quite wild, intimidating, party creatures, with a past of mulitple relationships, unready to settle down etc. Well, my thinking of that have change heaps since then obviously. Yes, some of the points does still holds some truth (not in Josh but in the secular blokes that i have came across here). Maybe some of you might be wondering so how married life exactly is..... well, firstly its awesome and an incredible blessing from God. The friendship and love you have for each other would still be growing and heaps more as you learn more about each other. But this doesn't mean that everything would be a bed of roses. If anyone goes into marriage thinking that love would grow just so naturally, then be ready to be in face of some cold hard reality. One thing about marriage is to be constantly making the effort to show your love to each other, to not take each other for granted (which is very easy since you see each other most of the time and familiarity sometimes have the tendency to brew contempt if you are not careful of keeping it at bay). Marriage definitely have pushes one to grow up and be constantly making an effort to do something for the other more esp during the times you dont feel like.

Anyways....as much as i know this is like an abrupt end to this long awaited blog, i gotta got to catch up with this beloved fren of mine who had been shipped off to UK. Will definitely have to catch up with all of you when we get back to Singapore in a few days time. We have been looking forward to seeing you all again!!! =)
