5 Months Down! Part Two

5 months as a MARRIED woman! I can't believe today marks 5 months since Josh and I married! It has gone by way too fast! Last month on the 12th, I looked at Josh and said, "Hey! Happy 4 month-a-versary. I am so proud of us. It's been 4 months of cooking, COOKING! cleaning, laundry and full-time work." I have really enjoyed doing all of the things above. Some have been harder to get used to than others (aka cooking!), but it's been fun to do things together. 

I've learned a lot about myself since January. A lot of things I wish were different, a lot of things I can laugh at everyday, and yet there are some things that are a little weird.

I've created a mental note of some of these things for a while now. I know there will be more realizations for the rest of my life, but for now, here are few markers of life:

-I use way too much toothpaste every time I brush my teeth.

-If my apt is ever too messy, I have panic attacks (two so far). 

-I am over protective of my dog, and therefore will probably be of my children.

-Josh says that after a certain time in the evenings, I hit a mental wall. At this wall, I get moody, irritable, and sometimes rude. Josh knows when to send me to bed.

-I can't sleep if my kitchen is messy, particularly if the countertops are not clean.

-I really enjoy cleaning, doing laundry, and taking good care of home!

-It's hard for me to eat leftovers in the evenings. I can eat leftovers for lunch just fine.

-I nurture Josh a little too much (all according to his mom. this is bad coming from his mom!).

-If my bedroom isn't dark when I go to bed, I have a hard time sleeping.

-I can see a lot of traits from my mom in me. My mom loves taking care of her house (and others): cooking for the fam, doing laundry, and having a spotless kitchen!

-If I don't get my way, I get really moody (only daughter trait, sorry, babe).

-I really like and need quality time with my hub on a daily basis.

-I prefer eating home food 10X more than eating out.

-I'm a light sleeper. Who knew! I've always thought otherwise.

That's all for now. Lots more to learn!

Love,

Gilda
