One full night...

I went one full night of not yelling at Josh! I came close and he could see it, but I didn't do it! I was very proud of myself! I was also very proud of the fact that he took his wet, snowy shoes off at the door! I guess he does listen to me, I just have to not get so frustrated if it doesn't go my way always!

Side note: I believe I have differenty personalities throughout the day. This morning Josh was off and I had to go to work early so we woke up around the same time. When I was getting ready and he had just gotten out of the shower, we were talking and I was laughing. All the sudden he said, "There you are! I haven't seen you for like 3 weeks." And then he said I should wake up early with him more often! As much fun as it was...I do not see myself waking up at 5:30 am when I don't have to be to work until 9:00 am. But I definitely have a completely different attitude. I used to be the same way with my 1st job and I was at home with Mom. There were a few times that she'd meet me for lunch and she noticed that I was more willing to talk and be in a good mood than when I came home after work. Now I have to figure out how to channel that morning/afternoon person in the evening, when I get home!

Anyway, we're going out tonight with some friends for Devour Downtown. Hi-end restaurants have a special menu for $30/person. You get an appetizer, entree and desert. It's a good time!

Josh's birthday is SuperBowl Sunday! He is so excited! Yay birthdays and Yay SuperBowl!

The 1st year is the hardest...

That's what I've heard anyway! But then I heard that if you can make it through the 1st 5, you can make it through anything! I am starting to understand this concept a lot more. Now, I'm not saying that this is horrible or the toughest thing I've ever been through because by no means is it! But I have GOT to learn to lighten up! I do not like being annoyed with my husband because he takes off his clothes the wrong way, or because he forgets to rinse the dishes, or he walks through the condo with snow on his shoes and I am sock footed, etc. We had a slight discussion last night about why in the world I feel like the way I do things is right and the way he does them is WRONG!!! I sometimes wonder how he made it to a few days shy of 27 without me!! I shouldn't wonder that! He obviously did and did just fine at it! I do not ever remember having to have my way ALL the time with stuff. Maybe his way IS better...but how would I know, because I never let him have the chance to show me his way. I just do not want to be frustrated with him over the stupidest little things. I even try to gear myself up for his different approaches to things. Like right now, I'll sit here and think, "When I get home tonight Josh is going to do something differently than I would like it, but that does not mean it's wrong." The problem is I need to tell myself, "When I get home tonight Josh is going to do EVERYTHING differently than I would, but that does not mean it's wrong." I love this man like crazy! He is completely wonderful and he loves me and would do anything for me! I need to be more laid back like he is! How do I do that? How do I really get through my head that if he does something differently, then I should not get annoyed? Am I the only newly married person that feels this way? I'm sure he's tired of getting yelled at. Does this part go away? I'm hoping it's just because we're trying to learn to live together and bring 2 different styles together...but do they ever come together????????
