Seven Months







7 months. That’s how long Stephen and I have been married as of today. All I can say is “wow” – time really does fly.

In 7 months we’ve learned that:

-Crap will happen at work/with friends/with family/with cars/with garbage disposals. It’s best not to take out frustrations on each other.

-Instead, just make out. That solves a whole lot more than you’d think ; )

-Crockpots really are the best invention for working couples. EVER.

-Budgets are handy. Sticking to them…even handier.

-Buying more than ice cream and Doritos at the grocery store is necessary, especially when you plan to cook actual, grown-up meals.

-But having the occasional bowl of Lucky Charms for dinner, especially after a stressful day of work, is A- Okay.

-We definitely might not ever want kids. Especially after witnessing one too many screaming toddlers at Abuelo’s on Date Night.

-Sometimes it really is best just to call a professional.

-Saying sorry is essential for peaceful co-habitation.

-It really is possible to be more attracted to your spouse each day. Really.


-Underneath the bed is a great place to store random junk that a couple accumulates as you blend two households worth of stuff.


-A dance-off in the living room with your spouse is a perfect bonding experience.

.......................................................

It’s hard for me to put into words exactly how much I enjoy our little life together. Every day, every week is a new adventure. From eating ice cream sundaes on the couch at midnight to naming our imaginary Guido children (Guiseppe Genovese Roman Angelo Sisti), I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Here’s to loving each other with reckless abandon for months, years and decades to come.

Amen.

Be blessed, lovelies-

  3. Sometimes it hard to remember some of these small things. Especially after the kiddos and crazy life seem to come in the middle. Cereal is great for dinner.. Budget are awesome... and grocery shopping is a must. I feel like the last one is the one that husbands need more:-)

  7. Every month gets better and better! Enjoy each and every one of them:) I don't know what the people who say the first year of marriage is the hardest are talking about. My husband and I will celebrate a year this month and it's been the best year of our lives. Yay for marriage! And making out! And crock pots!

  13. Congratulations on 7 lovely months! In the year and a half my hubs and I have been married, perhaps the most important thing I've learned is that it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to buy two cartons of ice cream at the grocery store.
    Hope you have many happy years to come! :)

  21. Awww happy 7 months! y'all are so adorable! my hubby and I dated for 7 years, when we got married, we didn't know if we wanted kids either, especially hearing them scream at restaurants!!! We definitely enjoyed married life and just "us", for four years, traveled, worked, and did whatever we wanted before having our first baby girl, now, we want more and can't believe we waited so long!!! =)
