Things I have learned thus far. I feel rather intelligent for figuring all these things out so soon--(Camie is the ispiration behind this post). Indulge me.
1- Ironing is the biggest waste of my time. The pile gets bigger and bigger until I muster enough courage to tackle it. It takes me all night to finish and then there are more clothes starting a new pile the next day. I belive in dry-cleaning.
2- I loathe cleaning the kitchen. I could clean a bathroom a million times over before a desire to clean the kitchen ever began to kindle inside me. BOO kitchen cleaning. Boo.
3- I have mastered the art of the guilt trip. Dewy hates it.
4- If I spend a little bit more than he makes it will keep him on his toes.
5- My entire paycheck goes to groceries. Someone teach me how to use a coupon.
6- There is no time in the day to go for a run. Between cleaning, laundry, working, and that blasted ironing basket, I cannot run. I fear I'm turning into a baby rhino.
7- I still do not respond to Sister/Mrs. Hodges.
8- Playing house was so much more simple with Monopoly money and stuffed animals. I was under the impression G.I Joe was the most powerful and wealthy man in the world, and if Barbie wanted a new sports car she got one. Who knew real life was so altered??
9- My husband no longer likes to text me. Since when was he so loyal to the rules in his office?? Lame.
10- Boys are weird. Moreso than I could have ever imagined.
11- Nightime could be the most dangerous time of my 24 hour day. Snuggling is not an option. I'm either wrestling for my share of the covers, trying to console the bridge of my nose after Dewy's elbow encountered it, or trying to simply stay on the bed as Dewy inches his way farther onto my side. It's exhausting.
12- Boo for bills. Period.
13- Weber State takes no pity on the newly married with insufficient funds. GIVE ME A FRICKIN' SCHOLARSHIP! No worries... I'm still jumping through hoops.
14- Apparently to have things like baking soda in your pantry you have to physically put it there. I was under the impression that it magically appeared in my mom's pantry.
15- Who buys tape and staples? I thought those things magically appeared too.
16- I don't have to act pretty and put together in the morning anymore. I got him locked in for eternity. Poor chap.
17- I want to kick the person in the shins who invented the Thank You card. Since when is saying thank you when you see the person not enough? Great news however... mine are all finished! If you didn't get yours it's lost in the mail but know I do indeed "thank you!"
18- Once you say "I Do" you become old news. No more friends, No more parties, No more visitors or double dates. Its just you an him. 24-7. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes friends are good. A nice buffer if you will.
19- But alas, I love Dewy and he loves me and we are still awesome.
Ok. I'm done. For now.

Sounds like you guys are doing awesome!! Coupons are Great!! I can teach you or tell you to use them how to make money off them!! it's great!!!
Oh Amber......I can relate to every single detail that you just wrote about! I too can give some coupon tips...however mind mostly involve Albertson's...and those coupons are about to be no more, it's truly sad. You will hate ironing and laundry more and more with each day-sorry that I don't have better news for you there. I however have not mastered the guilt trip-so you might have to work with me on that one!
sounds like i'm in for it...
I can also relate to every single detail! Eric used to send me sweet, romantic texts about how much he loves me. Now, all I get is a "love you". And, the no more friends thing, it is true. You pretty much fall off the face of the earth. However, when you do hang out with friends, it is mostly with married friends because you have more in common with them. Ya gotta love being married! :)
Looks like i have a lot to look forward too :D
Let's play soon Ambam.
Haha! Amber, I love it! That is marriage in its exactness! And as far as scholarships or grants go... there is no luck. By the way, the other day when I saw you I totally didn't think to introduce you to my husband John. Haha... Sorry! For some reason I thought you should have met him before but I don't think you have!
don't you just love it! thank you cards are dumb and im still not finished with mine, im thinking about giving up all together!
Ha ha. You are a funny girl Amber. I love your boys are weird remark. Don't all us married girls know that! It's so true about hardly ever doing anything anymore. The dating days were so exciting! Wait till you get a couple years behind ya! Boo for marriage! Ha ha J/K we love it!
