Our engagement is OVER!!  I am so happy to say that, because being engaged is not nearly as fun as being MARRIED!  I know I have only been married a whole week and a half, but the wedding planning, moving in together, and anxiety of people looking at me on the day of the wedding is over.  I can now relax with my husband and we can get back into routine of our lives before we were engaged.  Yay!
