Marriage After A Month

So we’ve been married a little over a month now. Things are definitely different.

I could get used to this homemade dinner thing every night. We’ve been having some really great stuff — chicken pot pie, red potatoes and chicken, stir-fry, pork chops, etc. I also LOVE having lunch made for me every morning.

I am so thankful to have been blessed with such an amazing partner.

Something I’m never going to miss… sleeping alone. It’s REALLY GREAT to be able to snuggle up next to someone in the middle of the night (even if the only reason you do is because they are taking up half the bed and ALL of the covers). It’s an amazing feeling waking up and getting to start my day by looking at her.

I mean, I used to have to look at myself, so this is a pretty nice upgrade.

It’s a new phenomenon as well that when one of us gets sick, the other gets sick. Even when I lived at home with parents, a good 10 years ago, I don’t really remember catching some residual bug from anyone in the house. But now, I get sick on Friday and she gets sick on Sunday. It’s even more difficult to try and figure out what caused it since we are both eating the exact same thing and living in the exact same place.

So moral of the story, quarantine.

    Aww. I should read your blog more often. That was really touching. I thought for sure you were going to complain about how hard it is to live with me. I liked this much better.
