He said he liked it, but you'll notice that my husband has not posted on this blog yet - despite several conversations where I not-so-subtly hinted "You should write that in the blog!" We'll see if he ever puts his hands on the keyboard :) In the meantime, you can just enjoy bits from me.
He did love the new shower curtain liner, by the way. Once it got on. I meant to have it on when he got home, but I couldn't for the life of me pop open the curtain rings - and I'm a pretty strong woman. But he got the rings to open and the day after his birthday he got to take a shower with a spankin' new liner. Welcome to married life!
That's what we say these days.
He's been sick for several weeks and one day he kept coughing and then spitting, and after he hocked a loogie three times in ten minutes I finally said "Dear, I know you're sick, but... " At which he grinned and said (with a hoarse voice) "Welcome to married life!"
When it's your turn to do the dishes: "Welcome to married life!"
In reference to my period and other gender-specific issues: "Welcome to married life!"
Dealing with your in-laws: "Welcome to married life!" (Though we're very blessed and ours aren't too bad!)
And I have to say, I love married life despite all of this - and probably even more because of it! And at the same time:
Being able to stay in and cuddle with a movie on Friday nights: "Welcome to married life!"
Having sex: "Welcome to married life!" (Hey, we waited long enough!)
Talking about absolutely anything the minute it enters your mind: "Welcome to married life!"
Getting to call him "my husband" (or her "my wife"): "Welcome to married life!"
Having someone who'll get up in the middle of the night to get you cough medicine: "Welcome to married life!"
Being completely consumed with love and knowing you are going to be with this person for the rest of your life: "Welcome to married life!"
