you do whaaaaat?

It will be a month tomorrow since my husband and I have been married, and let me tell ya, we have finally reached the stage of "I didn't know you were like that," in our marriage life. It's so funny how you date, and fall in love with this, oh-so-amazing-guy-you-thought-only-existed-in-movies, but really after all the "i-do's" are said and done, in comes the "i had no idea" parts. But I figure that's what makes marriage life much more interesting. 

HOW OUR MARRIAGE LIFE IS REALLY LIKE.

Travis being the stay at home mom.

That's just me looking like beyonce, being the hott daddy ;) 

For example, My husband from the get-go told me he's all about dance and basketball, but who would've guessed he bakes?! MY HUSBAND BAKES! cookies, to cakes, to these little mini thingys with cream-filling inside. I mean, jeeze, I for one, only know how to use the microwave, and am a pro at that, but him knowing how to bake, wow I feel like I failed as a wife, as a mother, and definitely as a best friend! He claims he doesn't mind, and I hope he doesn't, I mean when I was growing up, we only had a stove, a griddle, and a microwave. So not much baking done there. Anyway, I was shocked, and determined to be the lady that sings on the "anything you can do, I can do better, I can do anything better than you." So I sit hopelessly on pintrest, and google looking for recipes on baking and cooking in general since I suck at that too. And although he has beat me there, I will never get over the fact that my husband bakes. NEVER.

...But you think that's all I had no idea about. Well let me tell you what he never saw coming from MUAH! Woke up one morning and Travis was up sitting in the living room. Me, of course not caring much of that, and caring more about getting to sleep in, gets up, walks to the kitchen, and smiles. BEST SLEEP EVER....for me. Unfortunately, Travis is shocked that I snore. And he says it's not just any normal, breathing in and out snore, it's like so loud and obnoxious...."Like a pig with a really small nose, using his mouth to gasp for air typa-snore."(so he says.) He figures I also kept the neighbors up. I just laugh, because I know me, I SLEEP CUTE, that's why I call it beauty sleep, BECAUSE I DON'T SNORE. He begs to differ, and ask that I tune it down a little when I sleep. I start feeling really bad that i "supposedly" snore like a warthog. anyway, I attempted to grant his wishes, and wait for him to fall asleep first....uhh yeah, FAIL. I'm that type of person that all you got to do is give me a bed, a blanket, and a pillow, and I'm out 2 seconds later. So, now that he has figured our I'm a hibernating BEAR, he sleeps before me, and just as long as I'm not keeping him up, I'm one happy camper, and so is he.

It's funny because you think you know all about one person, but really you have no idea. Pretty much clueless when you get married. So what, right? Well, I guess some of us aren't so lucky. I'd have to say Travis rather listen to my killer snores, than finding out I'm a Husband murderer, like the lady on Medea goes to jail...but in that case, it would be Travis being a killer, because he bakes brownies for his brownie....Going back on subject. I guess we still have a lot to learn about each other...a WHOLE LIFE TIME. I just barely found out his favorite color is red, and he just found out when my birthday is. Turns out it's the same as my mother-in-law (his mom) so he wants to make us matching shirts with arrows pointing at each other, saying "we're twins because we have the same birthday." Yes, he gets that annoying my blogger friends. But, as long as we both get a laugh out of it, it's all good. 

From here, I've learned that bills will always pile up, money will never meet all our expectations, and faith combined with work, is all the magic you need to make two souls dwell as one, with each other, and with god. Although we have hit rock bottom ALREADY, all we keep doing is aiming high, and keeping a clear conscious. I feel that's how we really keep in touch with each other spiritually, and mentally. That's how we build our trust, our friendship, and our marriage to last forever. 

So, I guess it's one month to eternity. All aboard y'all. safe weekend friends and family. xoxo :)
