Strawings is married!

I know, you have been with me for so long (which is FANTASTIC).  I read my old posts and I see how much I have grown.  I am thankful that I documented my journey from a young girl trying her best to navigate through life, who was unsure of her career, going through health scares, to a wiser (though I am still learning and getting humbled) being who has a lifelong partner.

I only wish I were able to document my relationship with my husband before we got married--it is a pity usually I post things when I am under the weather, lonely, lost.  I was always happy with him and rarely ever drew pictures because...I never felt empty.

Right now I am in Philadelphia.  I know!  Who would have known I'd be back--only God.  He knew it would be easier for me to say yes and move for my husband because I was familiar with the area :)  His plan is SEAMLESS.

Currently I am settling in and waiting for my Pennsylvania license to come in.  Here are quick updates/notes:

1. I have been married for one month!  We are still learning so much about each other and understanding where we are coming from.  Will expand more, perhaps in another post.
2. 99% of my friends from PA are no longer here (boo)
3. Sure there are some long days, boring days, gray days, cold days, very cold days, and FRIGGIDY COLD days, but I try to stay busy.  It is so strange, I get all pumped up to improve this home and I have ideas of what we need.  But as soon as I hop online, I have the hardest time buying even a single item--I research, look at reviews, compare quality and prices.  Then when I add the desired item to the cart, LITERALLY, it is dinnertime.  I get sick of looking at the computer and sitting on my bum, so I start cooking--which is surprisingly fun.  I repeat my ritual the next day--except, the item in my shopping cart no longer seems appealing so I start from ground zero again.  I AM MENTALLY PRODUCTIVE BUT THERE IS NO TANGIBLE RESULT! HOW CAN THIS BE???  So I delegated the responsibility to my sister who is currently at home for two weeks recovering from a bunion surgery.  She said she was bored and I was indecisive.  Thank you <3
