As of March 24th, Rock and I will be married for 5 months. Newlyweds. Time flies by faster than VH1 produces yet another trashy dating show featuring a D list celebrity. So life is good. We survived our wedding extravaganza. Having lived together prior to tying the knot, I wandered if life would be different once we were officially husband and wife. After all, how much could a legal-sized parchment paper impact our lives? Well, the answer is, "a lot." In more ways than I had even thought, my existance no longer involves "me." It's all about "we." And it's absolutely amazing.
The name change affected me more than I thought it would. I've lived my entire life having people giggle when I say, "Tracy Hooker." Throughout my adolescence with sports, "Hooker" was all I heard. And now I'm a Mueller...........m-hue-lerrrrr. New drivers licences, new social security card, new credit cards, new email address, new new new.
Shawn hasn't skipped a beat. It's as if he was born to be married. So what's next? These days we're just enjoying being together. We have our hands full with Brisket Louise, the soon to be one-year old boxer in our lives. Even though there are days I want to put her on our front porch with a sign around her neck saying, "Free to Good Home," she's an excellent addition to our family and my husband's second love for sure. My little terrier is still going to work everyday with me and trying to survive the trials of sibling rivalry.
So I have no idea what the future holds for us, but I'm definitely along for the ride. I do know one thing for sure - when I saw him standing at the end of the aisle last October, I felt like I was walking towards the beginning. It was exciting, it was comforting, and it was just us..........the Muellers.
