6 MONTHS

Can YOU believe it's been 6 MONTHS already?

 We can't either!

What I have learned about Marriage in 6 months:

• It's impossible to "feel married."

• Friday nights aren’t as important anymore.

• Quarters are like gold.

• You will no longer have to subsist strictly on pizza. In fact, you won't be allowed to. Women like pizza, but they don't like pizza every night. They want variety. And pepperoni one night, meat lover's the next won't cut it.

• Top Ramen isn't fine dining

• Even when you're right, you're still wrong.

• Never question the number of shoes a woman owns

• Pickles or banana peppers are not an ideal midnight snack

• ‘On My Way” Call is something the husband initiates right when he is leaving the school.

• Your engagement ring is still fun to look at, no matter how long you’ve had it, or how many times you’ve seen it.

• Having a joint bank account is great, but it’s hard to hide the purchase of birthday, anniversary or Christmas gifts (or more clothes, for that matter).

• You each learn to appreciate the little things about the other person, the good as well as the not-so-good. There were so many reasons that you chose each other, and even more come to light each and every day.

• The toilet paper comes over the top

• The toilet seat stays down after used 
• The toilet does NOT substitute for the garbage can!

• Laughter is often the best medicine

• Don’t brag too early about him not snoring, he will as soon as he gets used to having a woman in his bed.

• It’s better to keep listening to those stories and laughing at those jokes rather than remind him he’s told them to you a million times

• It is amazing how many disagreements, crummy moods and disappointments can be glossed over with a plate of good food.

• If you ask his opinion, and he says "I don't care", or "I don't know" - he really doesn't care, or know.

• We are never the same temperature. Literally! I’m cold in bed, and he’s dying of heat. I’m hot in the car and he’s freezing and wants the heater on.

• Sleeping at night is like trying to sleep with a newborn baby that gets you up every hour. Brian is not a sound sleeper!

• Even after 6 months we still feel like newlyweds! We are still SO happy and in love!
