here now

i realized recently that life doesn't stop happening when we get married
that when i leap out on faith and over a broom
i may have to go back to work after that three-week hiadus

i was hoping for something more unrealistic
where both me and my husband had a life where we could just sit on the porch and stare at God's glory every day
and be thankful he had found us for each other

be present during the sunrise and sunset
holding each other
close and cool
just because

but i realized this
and i don't know where my real eyes started to see this unfortunate reality

but i must admit, it made me a bit less excited about the whole thing
