Tales of a New Marriage

February 24, 2021

Grace Bianco here. I have been married for forty-five days.

The morning started off with my husband getting up and getting ready for work.

I went back to sleep for a little bit.

Once I got up, I got fully ready. I straightened my hair and put on makeup.

I went to the front desk and reserved another night for my husband and I at the hotel. The front desk lady was confused by the fact that my husband and I don’t have the same name. I just told her that we had just gotten married.

Due to Covid and the government, we left before my new social security card could be mailed to us. I am officially a Bianco, just not legally. I put Bianco on everything, because I am legally married. (We do have an official marriage license and everything.) I am legally a Mrs. And once I get that card, I will be able to change my license and all that good stuff.

After that, I headed over to a new coffee shop. I always look forward to going to new places and trying their coffee. I got my usual order, a large frozen mocha with coconut milk (or almond milk) and no whip cream.

I was super disappointed. It tasted like a chocolate syrup slushie. The consistency was so watery and icy. There was hardly any coffee flavor. It tasted like I had put a straw in a chocolate syrup bottle.

I spent a lot of the afternoon writing and reading, and of course, I also would count down to when my husband would be home by.

I have been doing pretty good with being completely alone the past few days. I talked to my mom and older sister about it some. I am definitely one to get homesick easily. I also love attention, and I obviously am not afraid to admit that. A better way to describe it is that I just really enjoy people’s company. I told them that I am just taking it one day at time. If I look at the DAY in front of me instead of all the DAYS coming, I can plan out and enjoy the day ahead. Once I start looking to far into the future, I start getting worried that I will miss home.

It wouldn’t be such a concern of mine if it wasn’t for the fact that my husband will soon start twelve hour shifts six days a week.

I plan on using this time to read and write even more. I want to dive into social media more. I also plan on reading the Bible and praying like I never have before.

When we get home, I want to be able to say that I used all my free time to be as productive as possible.

When my husband got home, he had to work on some more work stuff. So, I began writing a blog that I plan on posting here soon.

It took him quite awhile. By the time he was done, it was time for dinner.

I made us each two peanut butter and jellies and put some chips on the side.

We have been surviving off of pop tarts, junky snacks, ramen, frozen pizzas, and pb&js. I can’t wait to get in an airbnb and be able to meal prep easy meals that are at least more healthy than what we have been eating.

We ended the night watching Impractical Jokers and just enjoying each other’s company. We aren’t used to being separated haha.

That was my day… How was yours??

See you tomorrow!! Until then, follow me on instagram @ gracekbianco for more!!
