October

I opened WordPress to blog for the first time since being married.  I felt a need to include a timeline to give an adequate introduction to this momentous event.  I look up at the calendar and realize it’s been 3 months to the day that Tom and I have been married.  (So I look over to him, both of us having forgot the event, and say “ummm happy month-iversary!” to be received with “oh yeah! you beat me this time!”)

Tom and I have never had a very good sense of remembering dates.  On our two year dating anniversary, neither one of us remembered until 11:00 that night.  We normally look to forgetting as a good thing, meaning neither one of us have stressed over a calendar all day and haven’t seen the numbers to remind us.

So over the last 3 months a few facts:
*Tom can’t eat crab bisque and got sick our first night on the honeymoon.
*We got a BANGING tv which has given me ample opportunity to learn more about the wonderful sport that is football.  It’s a lot of  me not knowing any players’ names, and on one occasion, actually crying because Jeff Reid (just looked up his name) looked so sad missing a field goal kick.
* I CAN COOK!!! holy smokes… it’s not anything exquisite, but all edible.  I think I’m actually thankful that Tom’s a picky eater.  Only knowing how to took 6 things totally works for a guy that’s used to microwave pizza 5 nights a week in college.
* Tom really is happy just sitting around watching football all day.
* I sleep with the light on most nights and one of those cheesy masks so that it feels like Tom’s coming to bed soon, when really he’s up til 2 studying.
*  I’m looking a new job for next year.  I love my children and I love my school, but it’s just too far for both of us to commute.
* We bought Super Mario World for Wii and have almost beaten it.  Neither Tom nor I had much a videogame childhood so now we’re making up for lost time.
* You can never have too many bookcases.
and for the PG13 section:
* Sex is awesome
