Well, it’s day #19 and married life is going well. I’m quite surprised at how easy I’ve been able to make the transition to “we” and “us.” It seems that everyone says that is extremely difficult, but I’ve found it quite easy. The only major issue thus far has been figuring out which concerts to go to!
Not much else to report. Our new home is coming along well, and Stewart, our lovely kitten is growing quickly. I’m trying to get into the habit of updating this more often.
The one thought that has been plaguing me lately is this: why do families let differing political beliefs deconstruct their families? I’ve heard of this happening more often than I think it should. I’m all for strong political beliefs, but I think it tells a sad story when families allow their political philosophies to destroy not only their social networks, but their familial ones as well. Families are obviously important, but I certainly feel that no one should cut themselves off from those with differing believes either. It’s disappointing when people shut themselves into a like-minded hole.
Anyway, I’ve love to hear someone or a few people weigh in on why families allow this.

I certainly agree. Btw: nice wedding, website, photos, and interesting comments. Glad to hear things going well.
Agree to disagree (use sparingly, and with an acceptable exit plan unlike iraq). Subtle suggestion over time preferred over confrontation.
Stand united, grow united (at least on what matters, that is up to you).
I agree, Brandon. Life is too short for families, friends and neighbors to cut themselves off over religous and/or political beliefs. We all have the freedom to worship as we believe and have our political opinions. It is more important now than ever before for all to make every effort to work together.
