... it is to sleep alone. I went this week to some training (2 Days) in Hardy, AR for the Arkansas Downtown Network. We had a group cookout at the Spring river, went swimming and got to meet a lot of people. But after we got back to the hotel and I went to my room, I then realized I would be sleeping by myself. (My DH couldn't go with us and was in Sheridan.)
A few thoughts ran through my head as i realized I would be sleeping alone for the first time since i've been married. "who was going to lock the door for the night?" "who was going to turn off the lights and check everything before we went to sleep?" it was going to be... me.
He wasn't going to be there when i went to sleep and when i woke up. (I know some of you are thinking this is soo sappy and silly). But i was sad. I didnt like the feeling of being by myself now. It was so strange. No one there to pull the covers, or hug you goodnight. How strange it feels be alone after knowing the comfort of having someone there to protect you and hold you. I thank God for marriage and the joys and warmth that it brings and for missing my husband and how happy he (and I) was when i came home today.

... in sickness and in health
So.... i'm now eating my words spoken on Sunday when I told my parents "he's been sick since friday and I feel fine." I did feel fine except that I hadn't slept since Friday b/c like i said "he's been sick."(sniffing and snoring.) One of those summer colds that you think will pass, only we've determined he got sick from the hospital when we were there visiting on Thursday. Hospital germs must be stronger than regular germs. So.... I did feel fine. Monday was fine. Tuesday was fine. Tuesday night was NOT fine. By 9:30 my head was so stopped up, and throbbing and I could only breathe out of my mouth. So neither of us slept last night. (more sniffing). I realize now this isn't the same as dating. One of you gets sick, the other takes care of it and stays healthy. Now we share the germs. There is no more healthy house to go home to. So I wish I was 10 again and I could just say "circle circle dot dot, now I have my cootie shot."

14 things in 14 days
Tomorrow we will have been married for 2 weeks. Yea!!! So I thought I would make a list of
"14 things I have learned and love about being married in 14 days"
-Btw... these are in no particular order-
1. 50% of all marriages end in divorce. I believe 80% of those couples only had 1 bathroom.
2. He snores and I talk in my sleep. So we're even right?
3. How comforting his snoring can be when you wake up in the middle of the night and forget
where you are. :)
4. The dishwasher can cause a disagreement.
5. #4 means we're working together to clean up the kitchen. :)
6. Men have more clothes than we think.
7. It is impossible for one to get up in the morning and not wake the other no matter how quiet
you try to be.
8. He is not as quiet as I am.
9. Having someone to kill the spider and not laughing at you for asking. :)
10. The way he locks the deadbolt behind him if he leaves the house before I do. :)
11. Men and women are very different when it comes to water pressure in the shower. I figure
that out every time I forget to turn the middle knob before I turn on the water.
12. Its not the joint account you have to worry about, its the joint snack food that diminshes.
13. There are 2 places for everything. The place where it belongs, and the place it gets put.
14. He's the first and last person I see everyday. :)

Here a blog, there a blog.
So, since everyone else has a blog, I thought I'd jump off the bridge too.
Now I just need to figure out what to say so that people will want to read my blog.
I wanted to start a blog because I wanted to keep things up to date. I love reading my friends and families blogs because I love to see whats going on in everday life. The funny things my nieces do and budget and family tips from my sister, friends who don't live near and who I don't see often. It seems that even when you do talk to people often, you sometimes you still miss out on the little things because conversations are quick or interrupted. There are so many changes in peoples lives that when you catch up with someone, you only talk about the big things. We don't really get to the little things that are important to us every day. I want to share and learn more than just "we have 2 kids, I work here, he works there, we stay busy, what about you?" conversation.
