I extend to you Poppy good wishes too - for a long, happy, healthy, prosperous marriage.

I cannot believe that so many of our "younger" members are growing up.

What a glorious day this will be for you - thank you for letting us share in part of it - we have loved every minute of it.

Hello Pet Talk friends,

Logging on to PT after marriage seems so weird, and different, and I can't understand why. Perhaps because I am in a different state of mind now, and maybe because I just haven't checked in for so long!!

It has been over a week since our big day now, and so far, married life is going great. The reception was wonderful. Having relatives over was great. My uncle from England is still here, and will be leaving tomorrow morning. We've been so busy with relatives, but I must say that it is SUCH a blessing from God that even after marriage, I am able to be so close to my family. Besides last weekend (while we were away on our honeymoon), I haven't gone a day without seeing my parents. It is GREAT being so close. I have always been very close to my family, so moving away would have been difficult.

It was so much fun being dressed up as a bride, having my hair done, and having a such a special day in life. We went on our honeymoon last Friday, and spent 3 wonderful days as a beach resort, with gorgeous ocean and mountain views. We spent hours together, walking at the beach, hiking up the mountains, and boating. It was the most wonderful and special 3 days of my life so far, and days that will always remain in my fondest of memories. When we would return to the hotel for the night, we'd open the windows and hear the ocean waves outside, AND, we'd switch on the TV and watch animal planet for awhile. LOL!!! Kind of funny, but we had fun doing that!

Now that we're back, life is slowly starting to calm down. We've been very tired after our trip, so all we've been doing is heading to bed early, and sleeping! I'm at my parents' house right now. The tiels are still here, but I've been coming everyday to feed them, play with them, clean after them, etc. My mom's been caring for them too. My husband's parents are here and will be leaving soon. After they leave, the tiels will be moving with us permanently, though they will always pay my family a visit along with me, whenever I go home. That actually means they'll be coming home ALMOST everyday. LOL!

I'm really enjoying married life, love my husband tremendously, and look forward to sharing my life with him. Just wanted to update you all quickly. We're both very happy, by the Grace of God, and our families are happy too. I love being married, though I feel so much more responsible and 'grown up' now.

We still tend to act like kids together though.

I will try to check in whenever I can.

Oh, thank you for checking in! Glad everything is going well, and the proverbial dust is starting to settle!

Do we get to see any pictures?
