Satisfaction

So I felt not only have I had big events in my life, those big events have really changed me.

Getting married has just put life at ease. No more wondering "what's next?" or "is this really forever". There is comfort in knowing I am spending the rest of my life with my best friend. It was nice having the support of friends and family, and having a wedding that we could only dream of.

Templeton and I close on our first home today. This is the first time in our relationship (4 1/2 years later) that I feel grounded--a sense of permanance. I didn't notice how it was changing me until yesterday. I feel motivated to be involved, to invest in friendships, activies and life in general. Anytime before this, we always "might be moving" so it was hard to invest in Norfolk. I feel good, I like knowing--at least for a couple of years, we're owning a home, I am finishing school and going to start teaching, things are good.
