Wife Life

My blog has been the furthest thing from my mind for a while; actually, for a long while. Life has been so busy this year. In May, my brother Drew and Mark's sister Mary, both graduated from high school; Mark's Grandma Jeanette turned 90, so we had a birthday party at the beginning of July for her; both the Kittson and Roseau County fairs were in July; we got married and bought a house in August. Time seems to be going so fast.
So, what's changed? Not a whole lot to be honest. I've done some painting in my house, but most days it seems too exhausting to even think about. Now, I'm Mark's sidekick at work. I play secretary, laborer, accountant, maid, chef, student, and lots of other fun things everyday. WELCOME TO WIFE-HOOD, MY FRIENDS! :)
I love it, though. There isn't a single thing that I would change about my day-to-day routine. Each day is different and that is exciting to me. My life in general is exciting, and most of that is thanks to my husband. The last month and a half has really opened my eyes to him. When you decided to get married (and then actually do it), you feel like you love that person and can't wait to spend the rest of your life with them. That's exactly how I felt. I thought that I knew everything about him that there possibly was to know. I knew that he hates when I remind him to: wear his seatbelt, drive an average speed, cut his toenails, turn the volume on the television down, call his brother Matt back. You get the point. However, what I didn't know is that he: kicks all of the blankets off of the bed every stinkin' night, would get mad about the background on the check blanks that I ordered, hates the idea of having to come home after doing carpentry to do more carpentry to our house, has a weird fetish with three-wheelers, and smells literally everything.
People have said that the first year is going to be the hardest. I believe them, not because it is going to change our love for each other, but because it is going to help us learn to love each other in different ways that we have never even thought about. There is so much that we still need to learn from one another, but we only have ten months and 20 days left to go in that first year. Yippee! ;)
