Almost Been a Year...

It's almost been a year since we got hitched..and updated the blog! So far, we've mastered the art of his/hers laundry, toilet seat up/down-ness, and the always present trivia question- "what's for dinner?" Mastering the art of the firefighter/nurse schedule was tricky tricky.. but it works well- if we want a few days off together, then it's not a problem. If we have gotten our share of "quality time", also not a problem. But the report card from the marriage counselor was A+ gold star, so guess that's a good thing. So it's day-in and day-out of husband-wife banter, cooking, eating, sleeping, farting, cleaning, laughing, repeat... and it works. No babies yet... so stop asking... but we have successfully outgrown the 1700 sq. foot starter home- thanks to wedding gifts and hand-me-down furniture, artistically arranged (with lots of things arranged under big surfaces such as beds, and stuffed in closets). Marriage is a wonderful gift, however, and as we watch our friends go through changes in their lives, marriages getting better, getting worse, and getting made , we thank God for putting us together.
