1. I'm a sheet stealer...so says the hubs! Honestly, I like to think of him as a sheet pusher because he's just so selfless. I just benefit from his act of service and subconsciously & willingly accept his offer of the covers somewhere in the middle of the night. The result...I have all the covers in the morning, leaving him with maybe a corner of the sheet. Oops!
2. I'm not afraid of the kitchen anymore, much to Kyle's relief! True story...Kyle's a better cook than I am, but I'm out to change that! Watch out babe! During college and our three and a half years of dating, he was the main cook, and I'd always clean up the dishes. I used the excuse that I love cleaning and doing the dishes...which is actually true...but the real story is that I was afraid of the kitchen. Well, you can't really be afraid of a kitchen with a yellow oven. Not yellow because of dirt and grime though. Yellow because that's how it came back in the 70s when our apartment was built. At first, I didn't like it and thought it was an eye sore, but feelings can change. I've come around and am quite fond of it now. I like to say that it adds personality. So since my recent friendship with our yellow oven, an assortment of meals have arrived at our dinner table that I think have met the hubs expectations. Homemade chicken noodle soup, chicken parmesan, Bar-B cups, and Ritz crusted basil and parmesan tilapia just to name a few! I'll get around to posting the recipes at some point!
3. I've gone from type A to type A minus. I'll never be a type B, but I must admit the perfectionist in me has begun to dwindle. This is a good sign as I think a 1st grade teacher would go crazy trying to keep twenty something kids perfectly clean, organized, and mess free 24/7. I began to notice the change during the weeks leading up to the wedding. For anyone with an upcoming wedding, it's true...the last few weeks you keep finding lots of little things that have to get done that you wouldn't have thought of back in the beginning stages of planning. (I'll make a post about tips later!) Well most people may think I'd be very particular about these little details, but you're wrong my friend. My favorite answer became "do whatever you think is best". Thankfully, this attitude continued post wedding. When our TV stand finally came in...a month after we ordered it I might add...we were surprised the next day to come home to a large crack down the side of it. The crack wasn't there when we got it but rather was caused by our lovely TV given to us by Kyle's groomsmen...props boys! The TV was just too heavy, but I'm not complaining. I love watching Say Yes to the Dress on a 47 inch TV just as much as Kyle likes watching sports on it. Well how'd we fix the crack? Did we call up the store and ask for a new one? Nah, logically, I just let Kyle color it in with a sharpie! And yes, I'm quite proud of myself.
