Being a newlywed is fun. You get to play house with a real person, and there's always someone to hang out with. The constant presence can be a good thing if you like the same things. It can be an interesting thing if the woman likes to watch Lifetime movies and the husband has four fantasy football teams (or vice-versa...I'm not trying to force gender roles). It's weird going from having total control over your surroundings to feeling like you should check with the other person before you go to the restroom (it happens). Overall, marriage has been a great experience. Since it's only been about two months, it feels like we're on a really long vacation, and haven't come back to reality yet. The greatest part is getting to live with my best friend.
Still, nothing's changed much since we got married. We didn't become any older or wiser (darn it), and we didn't immediately become boring (whew!). It still feels just the same as when we were dating, but better. However, some people's attitudes toward us have changed slightly. Amongst my friends, I am sometimes avoided like a disease. It's like people think they're going to "catch the marriage bug" or something. Hey - they should be welcoming marriage at this age. Soon they'll be older and will wish the guys would stop chasing the 20-somethings. Then who'll be laughing? :) I'm kidding. I love being married, and when everyone else is lucky enough to get married, they'll love it too. I just found my soulmate early in life. I consider myself the lucky one.
Tip of the day: If you're married, live it up. Don't be boring. If you're not? Don't dog on your married friends. I guarantee that they have a lot more fun than you on a Wednesday night...wink ;).

The Newlywed Chronicles
It's been almost two months since Ben and I got married, and I've loved every minute. Sure, there are ups and downs, but the ups usually outweigh the downs – by a landslide. They always say the first year is the hardest. We'll see about that. I'll try to enlighten you almost-married-early-twentiers with the knowledge I gain along the way. Stay tuned.

About Me
- Tara Allison
- I'm a simple girl. Not simple-minded, but simple in a good way. I love a night on the town, but I also love to just hang out with interesting people. I was born and raised in Texas, but you probably wouldn't guess that by talking to me. Unless you took notice of my huge Texas hair. I went to High School in Coppell, TX, where I met my husband. Then I went to TCU in Fort Worth, where my husband also went. Now I work at The Richards Group...and my husband works here too. No, we don't follow each other around. In fact, I barely see him at work. We were married on September 15, 2007, and he is the best husband a girl could ask for. I hope being a newlywed lasts longer than it's supposed to, because I love my life with him in it.
