after having been married for a year, id like to think that i haven’t changed at all, that im still same ol’ alex. its true, i am. but it is impossible to live for a year with another person without realizing some things, either about yourself, the other person, or about life in general. here are a few things i have learned:
1. i am way more sensitive than i thought i was. maybe im just sensitive to brian…
2. i am ALWAYS cold. i didn’t know this before but apparently brian has lava running through his veins.
3. living with a husband is much preferable to being single…insta-social life!
4. i am anti social. still outgoing, just anti social.
5. i still don’t know how to cook well. not that it matters if im just eating salads all the time…besides, brian seems to like it….
6. boys get way more into their sports than they let on to their girlfriends. as a husband, all bets are off, and you should take all unanchored objects out of arms reach.
7. as much as i love debating, i hate arguing/fighting.
8. i really like being with my family/husband. on my days off, id choose time with them.
9. when we got married, my family didn’t just double-there are 3 kids in my family, in brians there are 6, plus 3 step siblings…so my family quadrupled (and that’s not including the spouses and kids….). basically i have a great family-in-law. i have two new sisters and 4 more brothers, and new grandmas and aunts uncles and cousins that are all awesome. and the evil step-siblings-in-law are pretty awesome too. and i get to be an aunt to some of the cutest kids on this planet. basically, im loved J
10. i have always been a sports fan, but i will forever be caught up on every sport in the world and all the controversies thanks to my nightly sportscenter intake.
11. both brian and i get stressed when the house is a mess…me more so with dishes…
12. sometimes i get grumpy and i don’t know why. i blame birth control.
13. i really like popcorn. like LOVE it. make it about twice a week…old fashioned style in a pot and everything...
14. i am really protective of my brothers…all of them, even the in law ones…i seem to think it is my duty to kick every trashy, game-playing chica to the curb.
15. there are friends, and there are good friends, but not even those that you love most dearly will ever appreciate just how awesome and wonderful your spouse is.
so there they are. some of the things ive learned this year. i thought 15 were boring enough, so i didn’t add any more. 0verall, 2009 was pretty awesome to me i think. better not cross my fingers that 2010 will be just as good…don’t want to get my hopes up….
