Ender is more thrown by the marriage than we are. Dan and I are basically going about life as usual (for the most part). But whenever it comes time to go to bed, Ender doesn't quite know what to do. For starters, I'm still sleeping on the same side of the bed, but his space is taken up by Dan. Who he loves, but isn't used to him not leaving come bedtime. So then Ender sleeps on top of me possesively until he decides that Dan isn't a threat and then wanders off.
Mornings are also different. Ender gets up with Dan (who rises earlier than I do) but then decides that I have to get up to. So I woke up to a wet, hard nose in my eye this morning. "Go away Ender, go bug Dan!" Ender responds by pouncing on me. Apparently I have to get up too. No snooze buttons this morning. Or yesterday, really.
Sigh.
Last night, Dan and I were sitting on opposite couches for awhile. Ender would jump up and snuggle with Dan for about 10 minutes. And then hop off and come over to me. 10 minutes later he would transition back. Incredibly funny. He's adjusting quite well, though. Things will certainly become more "normal" for him soon.
Other than that. The wedding was nearly perfect. The honeymoon to Duluth was wonderful. Being back to work is zero fun, but okay in the end. I enjoy being married, and I enjoy finding that it's not overly different than life before. I hesitate to say it, but at the moment, life is okay, life is good.
