    It just struck me that there might be some of us out there that don't necessarily fit into the "Newlywed" category anymore.  My husband and I will be celebrating our 3 year anniversary in just a couple months, and I can't believe how quickly the time passed!  It seems like just yesterday we were planning our wedding.  :)

    Anyone else out there?  If so, introduce yourself!  It'd be nice to see who is still around, even after a couple years of marriage.

    We are coming up on 2 years of marriage in April so I guess we aren't newlyweds anymore, honestly I forget we aren't most of the time :-)

    :)  I feel the same way when responding to some of the Newlywed threads  :)  I love this post and it will be fun to see who is still around (although, I have to be honest - the last week or so on the boards have seem to be dicier than normal and a bit of a turn off....)

    @MrsDibs:  @oracle:  It's so funny, because I feel like both you have been around forever, but it's really only been a couple years.  :)  I agree, it'll be nice to see who's still here.

    We've been married about a year and a half now, so technically, I suppose not. I totally agree, time flies!!! People always ask me "So how's married life?" but honestly, I don't feel like much has changed. My very tongue in cheek response is always "Same old same old, except if I want to get rid of him now it's going to cost me a heck of a lot more!" Don't worry though, I plan on keeping DH around for a long time ;)

    @bakerella:  my standard replies are 'we're up to two Kardashians now' or, 'well, we haven't gotten divorced yet'.

    It's fun to see who's all around. We just passed 7 months, so I suppose we are still newlyweds. And please comment on the Newlywed threads (or at least the ones I create)! Ha, my definition of newlywed is married and hanging out with your DH. lol.

    @hisgoosiegirl:  haha, we recently calculated that we've now been married longer than the Brand/Perry and Kardashian/Humphries marriages combined--big accomplishment, right? ;)

    We're 3.5 years already!  I feel old :)  Maybe we're just newer-weds, since we're still married less time than other older friends and fam.

    We just passed our one year anniversary. It's strange to think how much has changed in the last year. At times it feels like it was just yesterday and other times, it feels like it's been 5 years lol.

    I'm very far beyond the newlywed phase. I'm in the "reality of marriage" phase. But I still love it!

    I'm still here!  I check out the boards all the time, but often don't comment -- I can't from my laptop, for whatever reason. 

    The bee is still my go-to resource whenever I have a burning question and don't know who to ask.

    We're just over a year (married 10/2010) and I guess we're not technically newlyweds anymore (not that I even know when that stops!) but I feel like we have a great balance between the bliss of newlywed-dom and the realities of how to make life work (and who has to do the dishes and take out the trash ;)). Time flies!

    Me (a/k/a winniewolf)!  Married for 2.5 years...not newlyweds for sure anymore ; ) Time flies, but then again we have been together for 11 years so it also seems like forever.  Baby #1 due in May so that's sure to shake things up!

    My husband and I will be married two years in June. I've been a regular Weddingbee visitor since before my wedding, but I don't post that often. I'll probably start posting more once we start TTC (this summer most likely!)

    Legally we have been married a year and a half, crazy that it goes by so fast!  DH just keeps coming up with cool things to never let the wedding end, maybe he never want to stop being a newlywed, LOL.

    We will be celebrating our third anniversary in May, and I am just NOW starting to feel as if we may be getting to enter the newlywed stage! lol. 

    We -- primarily I -- had an extremely intense transition following our wedding, as we had an LDR and were living three hours apart in separate states for our entire relationship, and after the wedding, we continued living in separate states while spending long weekends together, until I could sell my house and wrap up my job. DH was a single dad and is a pastor, so I also immediately took on the role of pastor's wife as well as stepmother to young teens. Having my house in my city looking perfect for showings while working full time, packing, unpacking, making the six-hour commute each week between my new "worlds" and having very busy weekends with DH and the kids and being involved in church activities, etc. was very exhausting and overwhelming for me. When my house finally sold, we then had to deal with all of the issues and stress involved with moving my entire house full of stuff to the new area, where we purchased a new house together and then had to get DH's house ready to sell. Whew! I also had to move in with a friend in my city so that I could continue working until the transition was complete. So, for the first ten months, I was in full survival mode. After I was finally able to quit my job and relocate to be with DH full time, I had all the trauma of adjusting to the transition from big city to very small town, away from all of my friends and everything that was familiar to me.  So, now that we've been married for more than two and a half years, I am just now starting to feel as if this is where I belong. Sorry for that really long post, but I am looking forward to the newlywed stage arriving! Haha.

    DH and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary earlier this month! Not newlyweds, but I still feel like we are sometimes. I didn't join the hive when were engaged, but I was a lurker for a long time so I still feel like I've been around WB for awhile :)

    I'm another 2010 bride still sticking around. For a time, I told myself I had to get off the bee after the Newlywed year passed. Now I find myself coming back more and more for non-wedding related stuff on the Boards. I tell myself it's fine as I am a bridesmaid in 2 upcoming weddings ;)

    Our two year anniversary is Tuesday, so we're not newlyweds anymore, I suppose. I still hang around Weddingbee though...the TTC boards are awesome.
