Marriage {Month One}

Today, we celebrate our first month of marriage.    It's so hard to think that one month ago today, I was surrounded by all our loved ones and preparing to walk down the isle to the man of my dreams.  It's been a whirlwind first month and I know they will continue to get quicker as the time goes on.    So, what have I learned in the first month?    Well, Brian likes to leave his shoes in the middle of the floor, throw his "pocket stuff" on the kitchen counters, leave a glass on his nightstand, hog the covers, and play Xbox way after I go to bed.   But you know what? I love all that and more because I have him there, as my husband, to do those things.  I can pick up those shoes and move his pocket things.  I can pull those covers right back to my side, and pick up his glass every morning.   And while some of you might not understand how I deal with his Xbox time, then let me explain how simple it is.  He is in OUR home, WITH ME, where I know he is SAFE, and not out getting into things of the world.  I hear him yell at that television screen and honestly smile.  My man is in his happy spot, and even though I may not be playing with him, he is WITH me.   Brian is happy playing.  It's not an obsession, but it's a hobby.  I'm happy with Pinterest and blogging.  It's not an obsession, it's a hobby.  We understand each other's wants (and the need for GREAT Internet service, LOL!) and allow each other that space.   Space? In the first month already?  Yes, because no matter how in love you are, we as humans need our space for our own interests.  Brian and I understand that and are already giving each other those moments.  We just work well together.  I knew we would.   We've been working on arranging the house how we BOTH want it, and not just to my taste.  I've adapted to having another person living in what was once only my home.  We've cooked meals, and did laundry.  He helps with as many chores as I ask him to and never complains.   So, how has my first month as Mrs. White been?   REMARKABLE.  And I thank God daily for blessing me with Brian as my husband.   Happy One Month, babe!
