When I stumbled upon the Blissfully Domestic pages almost eight months ago, I knew I had to be a part of such a vast, creative, honest community. The question was, “where should I plug myself in?” Sure I’m into fashion, I like cooking, I’m a writer, and designer. But which one of these would I most want to write about? I couldn’t make up my mind! And then I remembered the thing I really spend the MOST time doing is being MARRIED.

So here I am. Writing for Wedded Bliss.

My husband, Taylor, and I have only been married three and half months, so we definitely fall into the newlywed category. Although we have dated for more than three years, I have learned more about him in the last few months than in those three years combined. And not all that I’ve learned has been bad. Like the fact that he leaves every door to every cabinet WIDE OPEN.

The best thing about being married so far, other than having constant company, someone to split the chores with and an instant foot-warmer, has been just having someone around who thinks I am the greatest thing ever. I’m pretty sure he likes me more than I like myself, most of the time. As cliche as it is, he truly is my best friend. I have greatly enjoyed the freedom that being married has brought to our relationship. I’ve always been a decently confident person, but with his constant love and affirmation has made me feel very sure of myself. OF COURSE I have those lingering insecurities, we all do, but he really helps me to forget them a lot of the time.

I’ve heard a lot of our friends say that they’ve learned so much about their spouse since getting married. I think I’ve learned a lot about him, sure, but even MORE about myself. My purpose for wanting to join the Wedded Bliss team is to share the things I have learned, pick up lessons from others and be a part of a community that has a wealth of knowledge for someone like myself. I can’t wait for the journey!
