Portrait of a Pinay as a Young Woman II

The First 100 Days

Usually one would watch carefully the first 100 days of a public official's term in office as taking the pulse of that administration, seeing if the term of the public official will be a good one. Rich and I haven't reached our 100 days yet (we're at day 92 as a married couple). So far, things have been good.

We've lived together for about two years before we got married. I have to say that married life is different. There is a shift that the two of you share that no words can explain. We're more now thought of as a unit, not two individuals.

So far, we've opened a checking account, inherited a lot of furniture from Rich's brother Ed, and looked for mattresses. I've made the appropriate changes to my social security card and my driver's license (that will be tomorrow).

I have to say that I am overall happy about our marriage. We're going through some challenges such as Rich deciding what to do career wise and struggling with money. Other than that, nothing really much is happening.
