Learning How to Live Together as Newlyweds

Good morning lovelies!

Here we are, another day into the blog life. Although it is November 8^th 2016, which is in fact election day, we will most definitely NOT be talking about that. No need to get any one riled up or turned off.But, I will say, VOTE PEOPLE! But, today I thought I would chat about some newlywed things.

My husband Nick and I met almost 4 years ago. One of my best friends from the career tech center took me out to get dinner and then after she said, “Hey I know this guy, I think you would like him. We’re going to swing by his house.” Great. I looked like a homeless person and the eyeliner I had chosen for the evening was expired so my eyes were all red and itchy. But off we went.

As soon as we got there I was crazy about him! He was so handsome and funny. And for some reason, he seemed to think I was pretty cool too. We hung out a few times and 2 weeks later we were “official.” Like boyfriend and girlfriend, Facebook official. We fell for each other hard and fast. And here we are almost 4 years later married and living our own little American dream.

Nick and I did not live together before we got married. We decided we wanted to be more “traditional” when it came to this. Plus, it would be more exciting once we did have out first night in the house together after our “I do’s!”  We bought our house in January and he went ahead and moved in. I stayed at my parents.  It just worked. I would go over and help make decisions on what we wanted to do to the house and help him work on things. And since I was still living at home it was easier for my mom and sisters and I to really dig deep on the wedding and all the details. And our wedding was pretty bomb, might I add!

But anyway, all that being said, we had a lot to learn about each other when we finally did start living together. Just like having any new roommate you have your little quirks and gross habits that you don’t notice until you are spending every waking minute together. But these are usually easier to deal with, because even though they drive you nuts, you still get to get freaky with them…BONUS! A few downfalls that were immediately noted of were, Nick never putting the toilet seat down, that I am really good at doing laundry and folding it, but I am terrible about actually putting everything away, and Nick is still working on shutting the cabinet/closet doors after he gets something. And I mean hey, if those are the worst things that we are having a tiff about, I’ll take it. It could be way worse! But they do get old quick and after a stressful day at work on either side it’s easy for something like that to set you off.

So slowly but surely we are working out our little kinks. I mean, I am a firm believer that you truly need to loath someone before you can really understand how much you love them.  We have remember that we are both learning and it takes time and blah blah, andddd then we usually make out. Problem solved! But really, there is so much more stuff to be happy about rather than fight. And frankly, if those things are going to rip you apart that easily, you probably shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place.

So to all my newlywed warriors out there, keep on keepn’ on! And tell me about all the ridiculous things that drive you crazy about each other, good and bad! And thanks for taking the time to check out my page!

Stay sassy!
