Two Weeks

It has been two weeks since my longtime boyfriend and I got married and it has been a fun and happy experience for us both. We've already moved-in to my own house which my dad bought a few years back and surprisingly we do things together with ease. It's a little bit surprising since we're newlyweds and I think we both expected that we won't be as comfortable as what we are now. Being for almost 8 years before we got married somehow prepared us for this life. I think that's the reason why we're both at ease with our relationship as husband and wife.

Two weeks into married life has made us grateful for what we have and be patient for what we do not have. We live in our house from Monday to Friday and spend the weekends with either his or my parents' house. Since our move, we only got things that were essential to our daily necessities such as food, water, toiletries, appliances (electric fan and single burner electric stove), cooking pans, etc. We got our rice cooker from my cousin who may move in with us, plates and utensils from my mom-in-law and my mom gave us drying rack, bedroom essentials such as curtains, pillows, bed covers, etc. That's literally all we have. The house is still not furnished. I got 2 old couches here at home as well as an air cooler. We don't have tiled floors, built in cabinets, a fridge, TV set, even a dining set (which we are getting soon, thanks to my mom-in-law)! There's a lot of things that we currently do not have but we are just so grateful of this experience. It taught us to be contented and not to whine and ask from our parents, especially me.

It might not be the perfect start for us, but I am so happy that we're in this together. We're taking our time with work, responsibilities and our relationship. I pray to God that He'd make us stronger and happier through the rest of our lives. He's already given me a loving and caring husband and I couldn't be anymore happier.
