Married Life

Married Life! As you may well know, I got married on June 11, 2011. Best. Day. EVER!
I will post wedding pictures as soon as possible. But for now, I will just post these:

Fourth of July Cinnamon Rolls!

 Delicious "homemade" bread from my breadmaker! (I don't count it as really, truly, "homemade" because I did not knead it and everything...the machine did! Hahaha.)

 Asparagus quiche.

Salad, fried okra, asparagus quiche and grey potatoes.

So I have been doing a lot of cooking lately, because now I am a housewife. Hahaha. I remember in my Public Speaking for Business class, there was a redneck man who did a presentation on someone he admires. (Everyone had this topic. Mine was my Mom. :-)) He chose his "housewife". This was his wife, but he constantly referred to her as his "housewife". Finally, at the end, one nice gentleman raised his hand and asked him why he kept referring to her as his "housewife" and the oakie redneck man, with a mustache, replied "'cause she's always at home. I always know where she's at!" It was...interesting and just a little, or a lot, chauvinistic!
Anyway, I love cooking and baking, so that's been awesome. My MIL (Mother-In-Law) gave my Hubby and I some tomato plants, and they are doing okay. Tomato plants in this area this year are hit and miss! I traded some apricots for tomato's from the Spiritmother. What? That's her name.

Being married is divine. Brad and I have discussions about life, the Bible, everyday things and our hopes and dreams. We move furniture around and discuss the best place for our turtle, Shelby, to go. We don't have a T.V., so we play board games and cards, and we read together. We exercise together and go for walks. It has been quite blissful...to be so in love with a man and finally get to a point where you don't have to leave him anymore or watch him drive away. We get to be together all the time! (Except for when we have to go to work...lame.) Anyway, we are blessed. Our families help us abundantly to get settles, move us in, and give us food! Hahaha, thank you families!

We know there will be difficult times...troubling times that are hard to wrap our heads around. But we are falling more and more in love every day.
