I reminded myself that it would be the last time that I truly got to live as ME, not as part of a unit me, but ME, and it was wonderful. I soaked it up and did everything that I wanted when I wanted. Cocktail nights out with girlfriends, lazy Saturday nights in with a takeaway and cheesy RomComs. It was bliss and I enjoyed every bit of it. Of course married life is bliss too and I'm still me but it's a little different when you're married. Different in a good way, but still different :)Sara Louisehttp://www.sarainlepetitvillage.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-43063333262025765612012-10-21T17:45:18.563-04:002012-10-21T17:45:18.563-04:00woo! thanks, MRS!!!woo! thanks, MRS!!!Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-37881799099241062502012-10-21T17:45:05.270-04:002012-10-21T17:45:05.270-04:00can't answer that publicly at the moment - the...can't answer that publicly at the moment - the time when we'll be ready (bureaucratically) to live in the same country is far enough away that we haven't told the appropriate relevant people yet! but we'll share with the blog world as soon as we can.Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-50168562278688354462012-10-21T14:18:19.738-04:002012-10-21T14:18:19.738-04:00when i read this post, i thought of justin's e...when i read this post, i thought of justin's experience moving to wilmington, nc while i am still here in louisiana. many times he has called & told me he wants to go to a particular restaurant, but doesn't want to try it without me or go alone. long distance relationships are sad in that way, that you sometimes feel that pull to wait until you're back together to experience new things. so glad that you & jon will be together next month for thanksgiving! :)siddathorntonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-80537015709527566212012-10-21T14:17:33.570-04:002012-10-21T14:17:33.570-04:00when i read this post, i thought of justin's e...when i read this post, i thought of justin's experience moving to wilmington, nc while i am still here in louisiana. many times he has called & told me he wants to go to a particular restaurant, but doesn't want to try it without me or go alone. long distance relationships are sad in that way, that you sometimes feel that pull to wait until you're back together to experience new things. so glad that you & jon will be together next month for thanksgiving! :)siddathorntonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-89010851146678534362012-10-21T12:21:44.418-04:002012-10-21T12:21:44.418-04:00Aww Happy Anniversary!

In England I ended up not traveling anywhere without Paul, since I knew that anywhere I went I'd probably say "oh, you should go, too- we should go back!" but I did go to local stuff, festivals, find new places, etc. I basically lived regular life in a 2-hour radius. When he gets to go somewhere that I don't (Guatemala and Germany a couple of times are the ones on the top of my head) I just hope he has a good time and comes back with great ideas for the future! Hopefully y'all will be able to share most of your adventures soon- but in the meantime, just cherish the independence you're both bringing to your relationship. When Paul and I are together ALL the time for too long we sometimes have to purposefully do stuff alone just to have something to talk about! GREAT post!
