Ok, so this is already a failed attempt at keeping a daily record of my first year of marriage. But how was I to know that Mexico (our behind-the-times honeymoon locale) would have a 15 minute internet limit per day.... PER ROOM!? AND how was I to plan for getting coral reef stuck into the middle fingertip of my right hand, rendering me impaired during my typing sessions (PS, it's still in there... the stubborn thing just simply WONT come out!). And honestly, there was no way for me to know that we would already have had a huge fight that I simply didn't want to start blogging about, making our seemingly normal relationship look flawed within the first week of our life together.
Thus, I start my yearly journal now. A week and a half into the marital trek. And how did the trek begin? With my wonderful new hubby, Pat, making a to-do list for around the house. (I was as shocked as anyone). He walked right into the bedroom and asked for a list of things for him to do. It's basically a dream come true.... but I didn't want to overload him, just in case this was a fluke. I want to test the waters on small tasks before delving into such things as crown molding and unpacking his suitcase. However, he DID bring my car in to get a new battery after my car failed to start today.
So, despite the fight-that-shall-not-be-mentioned-again incident, the first "day" has been a success. Now if only I could get him to stop dripping coffee all over the counter....
Yes this is definately worth logging in reference to the honey to do list; perhaps for future reminding :-). But may I encourage Pat that he is on the right path to being a thoughtful, caring, loving, romantic, supportive, ever encouraging hubby.....again for future reference if need be....ha ha
ReplyDeleteOh and don't know if you know this but we too, on our honeymoon had a huge fight; which I hate to admitt but life does happen and amidst all the romantic bliss we exploded on each other....so there ya go....30 yrs later we are still madly in love...and I do mean "madly" ha ha just kidding. No punn intended. :-)
ReplyDeletewell that's good to know! the funny thing about our resort was it was pretty much all couples, and mostly newlyweds... and just about everyone we knew of had a huge blow up fight! a group of guys actually bunked up together in one room after their ladies kicked them out for the night... so I guess we're not alone:)
