I know I should probably write about the wedding, but I have a really long shift tomorrow so I'll try to tackle the whole thing then.
Other than that-
Hi!
I'm married :)
But I wanted to write this post not to talk about the awesome days I've been having with my wonderful husband up til now - because I assure you - they are fantastic, and worth mentioning, and I will attempt to cover them tomorrow, but as for now- I just wanna write about what a cool day it's been so far today. And how nice everyone has been to me.
First off, I really think it is starting to hit Atlantean today some core principles of life - and that is work. Today is the first day we've returned to work since our wedding, and while it wasn't fun, it felt like it was finally time. He actually came to visit me today at my work between his school and work and I got to talk with him for ten minutes and eat lunch with him here, because I'd made him lunch. And he really just started talking about how hard work is important, and goals and how he can say he'll do grand things, but how much effort actually goes into them is important to consider, and I think that realization is just beginning to really dawn on him, that things don't just happen. You push them into motion, and then keep pushing. And I don't want to put words into his mouth, but it really seems like what he's thinking. For instance, him and I really would like to someday build a spaceship and run simulations out of it. Yeah. We know it sounds crazy. But he realizes he can't expect something like that out of himself suddenly. I kept telling him that he has to ramp up to it. I love the serious side of my husband and I'm glad he's going through these current growths. He's very attractive when he's serious and thinking and really desiring to do good. I happen to love him very much :3
As for another amazing thing - everyone has been so nice to me!
Now I did expect a lot of attention when I got back, everyone asking about the wedding because they're nice. I expected that. But what I did not expect was other shows of love. Like when my boss showed me the video he had recorded of my dance or the song at my wedding, and while he tried to post it on Facebook for me to see it (it wouldn't let him because the music is copyrited) he then eventually put it on a flash drive for me to take home and that means the world to me :) I also have had people ask me about the wedding of course, but some have gone out of their way to ask when they get to see pictures or to tell me how beautiful the ceremony was. One receptionist today was having a hard day, and was even crying uncontrollably behind her desk, and while the other coworkers comforted her, and I tried to stay respectfully out of it, she still asked me how I was doing and congratulated me when she next saw me even though her eyes were red and puffy and she was still recovering from whatever was causing her distress. Today was also my first day walking to work, and while it was pretty long (prooooobably should have stretched) it was pretty cool, and while I can't promise how long it will be "fun" I still have people at my work very much concerned for me, regarding the decreasing temperatures. My fellow receptionist told me I should make Atlantean sell his car so we could buy me one so I'd have a car to get to work, which was ridiculous, but I appreciated the sentiment, and then just now, I had a lady who I had previously thought was pretty tough and maybe even a little cold (her job almost demands she be so) she just slightly mentioned that she doesn't live too far away and to give her a call if I ever need a ride home, and I really appreciated that. Not that I am even in possession of her number, but I certainly appreciate the offer. I might take some of them up on it, because it is very kind. But I'm just kind of ... shocked by how nice my culture and state is. I am really growing fond of the people I work with because they just always seem to be fond of me. The Superintendent of Canyons School District even introduced himself to Atlantean when he came for lunch.
Say what you will about Utah, that we are over saturated with Mormons, bad drivers, polygamists, whatever. But I love my state, and I tend to love the people. I have met very few unkind people in Utah. I trust my state, and I love many of the good value cultural norms we have, and I'm proud of it's people. Just wanted to share that with you.
I promise I'll let you know stuffs about the wedding lol,
Nymph
(Also - I swear I have a superpower to avoid gossip)
