Life after marriage

We spent many months, days and hours planning our wedding. We were so busy working on the plans, it felt like we were never going to de-stress until after we got married. Two weeks prior to our special day, we got to the point where we just wanted the day to be over with so we could relax.
Well, the wedding day came and went. Our honeymoon came and went. The beginning of our more relaxed life began and ended within a week. When we finally came home to the real world, settling in became our next project. Before we knew it, we were busier than before our wedding!
I'm not sure how it happened, I'm not sure why it feels so much busier.
A couple of ideas I have are: 1) My job has recently become more demanding 2) James' job has become more demanding 3) We are waking up early to work out together, so we also go to bed earlier

Those are really the only things I could come up with. I feel like I have to go back to my college days when I had to figure out how to balance everything. But now, instead of balancing classes, church, 2 jobs and a social life; I'm now balancing work, church and my marriage. I feel like I have less to balance, but its more difficult.

Many people have told us that marriage will be quite the journey with ups and downs, pot holes and smooth roads. I took it lightly, but now that the journey has actually started, I am finding that it may be rougher road that I had thought.....
