The Down Low.



 So here's the DL. Being married is Awesome! Its so much fun. No doubt getting married to G was the best decision of my entire life, BUT there are a few things that you don't know about being married that you have to learn the hard way. So if you are thinking about getting married or would ever consider being married. please listen to my words, these are some things people don't tell you comes with the marriage package. Here's the stuff G had to learn the hard way:
  • Girls shed. Lots. Thus meaning cleaning out our shower drain should be done more frequently then you realize.
  • If I think G is doing the dishes, and G thinks I am doing the dishes. The dishes don't get done. And we get a stack a mile high with bowls that have blue yogurt in it... that was at one time milk... gross
  • Sometimes girls cry. Sorry. Its nothing you did, there is nothing you can do to help, just play with my hair and wait for it to pass.
  • I know I start getting ready for church an hour before you do, but you will still be done first and have to wait for me by the door.
  • There is a much bigger budget under "shopping" then you were expecting... sorry :)
  • Vegetables are no longer an option.
  • If I cant sleep at night... neither can G. Cause I wanna stay up talking!
  • When G wakes up early the next morning for work... he better be quiet because I didn't get much sleep the night before
  • G has to learn to do what I meant not what I said.  
  • Sometimes a girl just needs to try on her wedding dress to make sure it still fits.
  • You can never have enough blankets to snuggle under.
  • Your side of the bed is my side of the bed. I like to snuggle.
  • Killing spiders was in your job description. Check the fine print.
  • I know I say I want us to do more stuff together.. but I didn't mean join a fantasy football team with you... I meant you need to do MY stuff with me.
  • Even though I have one closet, two dressers and multiple items that live on our floor.... I still feel like I don't have anything to wear. VS. your half a closet that keeps you happy for years.
I read this to G, we both got a good laugh over these! As cliche as some of them are, they are true. This is what makes marriage so much fun. We have little things that make us laugh and keep things fresh. I love G, because even though some of these things could potentially be very annoying, G puts up with them lovingly. So if you are thinking about getting married, don't forget that people don't tell you about all the "fun stuff" of marriage, they just let you figure it out all by yourself!
