Things I've Learned Since Marriage Happened

• Calling him "husband" outloud is easy, but my mind still hasn't accepted this new title yet.
• Him calling me "wife" sounds even more weird.
• Having two big dogs when beginning a new marriage is really dumb.
• Having two big dogs in an apartment on the top floor is dumb.
• Having two big dogs is just plain dumb.
• I love my dumb two big dogs, but wouldn't be surprised if I came home from work one day to find out that Cody had either sold or killed both of them.
• Working graveyard shifts where I only get to sleep with Cody at night a few times a week is not fun.
• Having a husband who is laid off from his job can be fun because he is always home when I'm home :)
• Making enough money to pay all the bills without being too worried while Cody looks for a job is really nice.
• Cody twitches so much when he is falling asleep that sometimes I think he's going to break into a full blown seizure.
• What's his is mine...including illnesses.
• Sleeping with Cody while he has a cold is the hardest thing in the world to do because the sound that comes out of his nose could blow the windows off the house.
• Cody wakes up and stops snoring everytime I adjust positions in bed... so while he is sick, I seem to be adjusting every few minutes.
• Apparently I moan in pain in my sleep when I am sick.
• We had to buy a king size bed to fit dog #2 on the end of the bed at all times. END of the BED is the key word and a valued thing since he usually tries to come up to the head.
• Cody and I freak each other out when we say the exact same RANDOM sentence at the exact same time on almost a daily basis.
• Cody's nose bleeds like Niagra Falls.  Finding bloody tissues around the house that he couldn't manage to make to the garbage might make me kill him early on in this marriage.
• I married a man who had to ask me how to start the laundry machine AND how to start the dishwasher. He is very willing to learn though and I'm grateful.
• When sorting laundry by color, Cody will throw his nice white garments on top of the dark color pile for laundry.  He must be color blind.
• Cody gets out of the shower and he must shake off like a dog instead of using a towel because afterwards the entire bathroom seems like it was part of the shower instead of just the tub.
• Instead of coming to work and never eating because I'd rather sleep than spend time making lunch, I now come with a fully packed lunch with napkins that have love notes on them every time.
• Either waking up to or coming home from work in the morning to Cody's cute messy sleepy hair, bloodshot and confused eyes, and sexy morning breath is my favorite thing in the whole world.
• I love that Cody is comfortable enough now to not wake up and use mouthwash just before I get home from work early in the morning.
• Even with this whole list of funny new additions to our lives, not much has changed since getting married.  He still get just as excited to see me each time I see him, he still calls me "babe" instead of my name each time he talks to me- even if he's upset, he still holds my hand everywhere we go or keeps his hand on my back whenever he can't hold my hand, he STILL opens my door almost every time we get into the car, I still fall in love with him more every single day, and he still is the BEST decision I ever have or will make in my life.
