I feel… old.
Don’t laugh. I know I’m only nineteen, but I still feel like it! We’ve been married for a little over a month now and we enjoy it except… getting out of bed is a million times harder when you have a big teddy bear to cuddle with each morning. It makes for a rough eight o’ clock college class. But when I do sneak out of bed without waking him up, and turn around to this:
my heart melts into a big puddle and I take pictures 🙂 He’s going to be quite mad this is up. Sorry honey!
I have to admit, we don’t fit the stereotypical wife/husband scenario. You see, Garret actually does the cooking and cleaning around here. I’m a little embarrassed that I don’t do it, but he always does it before I even get home. Sometimes, he comes straight home from the gym and starts dinner on his own while I’m in bed studying. I’ll even get the occasional muscle flex while he’s making dinner while showing off MY apron.
He thinks he’s the best… which he is.
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and I’m so excited to spend time with him! I’ve been doing this fun, “The 14 Days of Valentine’s” which entails ME delivering HIM a different Valentine each day from the 1st to the 14th. Each gift I attached a tag to it from http://www.mommybydaycrafterbynight.com/Â and put it somewhere in our apartment for him to find! One day was “love potion” and another was “crush” soda. My favorite was this:
So many fun things for the two of us to do inside together! I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day, I’m going to miss his face when he sees a new cheesy gift show up in our place somewhere.
One last thing from my mouth, I’m now a Relief Society teacher. I feel so humbled with all my inadequate knowledge in a sea of women with more wisdom than I’ll have in a lifetime. I hope I can share with them something they don’t already know. The Lord must have a plan for me.
Anyways, I’ve loved this wonderful time of the year. It’s been such a challenge to be married but it’s SO worth it. There’s no one else I’d rather give all my love to! Thanks Garret for being my very best friend and taking care of me.
Always smile,
A. Brent
