I've heard it said many times that the first year of marriage is the hardest. This is understandable, two lives coming together, different opinions, different cleaning styles, different genders, etc. etc. etc. We are now heading towards our second year of marriage and I can honestly say it has been the happiest year and a half of my life. If the first year was the hardest, I am giddy with anticipation for the next 50.
Perhaps waiting to get married until I was 33 years old had something to do with it, but I love everything about being married. Some women complain about picking up after their husband, doing his dishes, cleaning his whiskers out of the bathroom sink... I love the fact that I get to live with my "boyfriend", even with his boy smells and a baseball cap in every corner. I love that I get to eat dinner with my best friend every night. I love that my husband is manly enough to have to shave everyday! I love falling asleep in his arms. I love that he's always willing to warm up my freezing feet and I love waking up with my man right next to me. I never have to wonder what I'm doing on Friday night, because as far as I'm concerned, curling up with him on the couch and watching an old movie with some extra butter popcorn is as good as it gets!
We are so blessed!
Yep... Life is good!
