now that i have been here a while,
i can say i have learned a few things…
the guy i dated right out of high school told me that
“marriage isn’t supposed to be easy.
it should be hard work.”
it should be hard work.”
i know that that guy and his happy little family
are very glad that he was wrong.
being married is way easier than dating
and all of the drama of roommates…etc.
this is like dating the coolest guy on the block,
and hanging out with your favorite roommate. every day.
somewhere in the recesses of my brain i thought that i would get married and
stop having fun at some point… like we would someday get to the point
where we don’t say cute things
or like to spend time hanging out….or stop getting ready to go out….

i would rather hang out with this kid than do anything.
and i find myself putting make-up on before he comes home,
and staring out the window until he gets here…
i had heard that men can’t change…
but my man now recycles all on his own.
and he is a friend to apple products. he even owns them.
before i got married, and even now, when i say,
“my in-laws are coming into town.” or “i want to have my mother-in-law there
when we find out the gender…” i get looks of disdain, because everyone knows
“mother-in-laws [or in-laws in general]
are supposed to be evil.”

ouch. that hurts me.
i purposely chose this man because
a) i was crazy about him.
and
b) his completely drama-less family.
that i can’t get enough of.
i dated long and hard to find one, but it can be done.
i also thought it would take a long time to feel this way…
it didn’t.
i thought i would have to grow up
and be an adult when i got married…
and be an adult when i got married…
i guess i am lucky.
i get to giggle all night
with a large plastered smile on my face.
a sleepover with my best friend.
every day.
every day.
awesome.

You are adorable. Thanks for the sweet words of wisdom!
tender!
Totally agree, dating is overrated. Marriage is way better! I once saw a little old lady sitting on her suitcase outside the airport. She was putting on her lipstick. The next thing I saw was her husband pull up. I thought to myself I hope I am like that when I'm old. Clearly you've got the whole be a cute wife thing in the bag. P.S. Did you know your sis in law and my sister hang out?
Totes adorb! (trying to get some free time….haha)
I love this! I have been with my boy since High school and it is so nice to never have to grow up. It isn't always easy but 99% of he time we feel younger and happier together than we do with anyone else. I am glad we are not the only ones that are that lucky.
I loved reading this. It makes my pre-married mind at ease. Knowing the crazy in love feeling won't ever go away (we will defeat the myths of marriage). You two are adorable, congrats on your little man! 🙂
I married my husband for the same reason. I can't imagine life with judgemental in-laws.
