The first 365 days....whoa.

Well, Helloooooo.................

It has been a while since I took the time to 'blog' so I thought what the heck...now is a perfect time.

Kevin and I have been married a FULL year. Holy Smokes. Yes, ONE whole year...a whole 365 days. Geez.

You sure do learn a lot about a person when you are actually married to them...no holding back after you say 'I Do'

Here you go...the top 25 things I learned during my first 365 days of being married to Kevin...

1. It is still not ok to burp. I do it anyway and every time I hear 'that's really attractive' yes, I know it is super attractive that is why I continue to do it. I know it drives Kevin nuts, but I cannot help it. Well, I guess I could, but I don't....

2. If the bath tub stops draining it is totally my fault. I argued that point at first, UNTIL Kevin took his long plastic stick thing he bought at Wal-Mart and well the mass of hair he removed from the drain more than likely could have been sculpted into a full blown wig. O-M-G. So, yes, it is my fault.

3. Most of the time I get my way. It just takes a little whining and he normally gives in, that's totally cool with me.

4. I cannot continue blaming the dog for passing gas. Kevin doesn't believe me anyway...

5. We argue over retarded stuff.....a lot.

6. Grocery shopping is easier alone. During the first few months of marriage I thought I was cool because my husband grocery shopped with me...he was only going to be nice. Then I realized I get done a lot faster when I am alone...

7. I cannot tell him I love you too many times in one day.

8. Sharing the same blanket is a dumb idea. I end up with the whole blanket, his body heat makes me hot, my cold hands piss him off when they touch his back....and so on...so we have our own blankets.

9. I snore. Yep, according to Kevin I snore. I am still in denial. Whatever.

10. Fall = Football Season. Fantasy Football is a sport. It will be funded every year...win or lose. Ok...

11. Don't talk politics. No matter what the circumstances...

12. Divorce is not an option...don't threaten it. If you do, you better pack your stuff and be ready for your bluff to be called....trust me on that one....

13. Drinking alcohol is not near as fun as it was before we were married. Now, we have a drink and we are ready for bed. Is that normal? It was like the minute we got married we became old tired people...WTH?

14. Family vacations are stressful. OMG. The beach was amazing but I stressed over the waves sucking the kids under- Kevin kept telling me to chill out...I was scared to death a shark was going to eat all of us...Mattellen yelled SHARK every time she got in the water...clearly we are more of a swimming pool type family...

15. Don't pour ice cold water on him while in the shower. I still do it. I don't care how mad he gets, it is hilarious.

16. Some things are better left unsaid...

17. When in the bathroom close every door between you and him that is possible. There are some things that your husband just does NOT need to hear...

18. The TV is his. Period. If I want to watch a show I better set the DVR and when I say set the DVR that does not mean set it during a time that he has something recording because some how the DVR ends up recording his show and not mine...weird, huh? Yeah. I thought so too...

19. Sleeping on the couch is ok....sometimes. Especially when you have been told 'shhhhh' Yes, he did. He had rolled over on my blanket and I politely asked him to move at 1:00am...and he shushed me...needless to say I ended up on the couch...we laugh about it now...but not at the time...

20. Buy name brand make up, but don't tell him and if you do tell him, just don't give out any prices...it is ok.

21. Dance around the living room like total idiots...

22. Sing together. As loud as you can. Who cares if you sound like a hound dog...it is still fun!!

23. Be each others best friend. Through thick and thin. Good and bad. Stand beside each other not behind...

24. Snuggling and Cuddling are over rated. I swear. It is not comfortable ( I don't care who you are) to be piled up on the couch laying all over the top of each other trying to watch a movie. Don't even act like it is...he sits in his chair and I lay on the couch...

25. Last but not least...KNOW YOUR ROLL! I'm kidding...respect. It goes a long way, just because you are married to someone does not mean you own them, it does not mean you are entitled to treat them however you want too...it means you have committed to sharing your life with that person just as they have done the same for you...you have promised to be there for them...love them...care for them..no matter what....and I will do just that. I will love Kevin Adams no matter what. He drives me crazy some days, I feel like I come home to a zoo on most days, I get frustrated, I cry, I laugh, I scream, but I love every stinking minute of it. I would not change it for the world...

Now you all know what I learned during the first 365 days...I am sure I could go on and on and on and on....
