An entire year of marriage.
I’ve learned so much. I’d like to share some of my wisdom with you all.
Those quirks your significant other said were cute while you were dating… Yeah he was lying. I have this thing where I smack. Not just gum, but like all of my food. It’s the worst when I’m having my morning bagel & smear. The cream cheese makes lots of noises when it gets stuck to my palate. My point is that the truth will come out. Eventually, he will look at you across the breakfast table & beg you to shut the hole in your face while you chew.
Also, your home will never be tidy again. Don’t take it personally. It’s not you. It’s him. It’s because your husband has a lot of crap. & that crap has to share a space with your crap. Before you know it, there are just these corners where things like piles of shoes live. It’s infuriating. He won’t put away his things. He will, however, do the dishes & this is why we keep him. Hold on to this.
At the end of the day, marriage hasn’t changed me that much. As long as he tells me I’m hot every day I’m golden.

Happy anniversary! We celebrate our one year of marriage this weekend. And similar to your husband, mine is great with dishes. Closing cabinet doors and drawers…or picking up clothes that haven’t passed the smell test…or putting things in the right place…that’s a different story. But we love them anyway!

It is a vegan chorizo! No meat. Just soy & things. Tastes great! If I made it for you, you wouldn’t know the difference….
