Time is flying by.....

The saying "You don't really know someone until you are married to them" is so true! Shawn and I will have met a year ago on the 12th of this month and thinking that I have learned more about him in the last two months than I did when we were dating is kind of funny. I've learned what makes him mad (if he ever does get mad), his getting ready routine, the simple things that will make him smile, and many more. Not to say we didn't know each other that well before but it's the things people do without thinking about it that you learn when living together.

One thing Shawn has learned about me is that I tend to hit the snooze button more than once. The first couple of mornings that my alarm would go off, Shawn would roll over and give me a kiss while saying "Good morning" in the most happy early morning voice he could get out. I think he soon learned to realize that it's best to just let me get up on my own. He will live longer that way.

One thing I have learned about Shawn is that he is a hoarder, pack rat, or whatever else you'd like to call it. He isn't as bad as most under those categories but still has a slight problem. If you know me at all then you would know I am the biggest NON pack rat person. Lets say I found a box and I don't know what is in it. First thought is "Hmmm looks like I don't need this." Second thought, "Lets just see what's in it." Third thought, "I could use this." Fourth thought, "Obviously if I didn't know it was here then I am fine living with out it. Trash it." That's how it goes when I clean out a closet or clean out under the bed. If it doesn't have significant meaning and I didn't know it was there.....TRASH IT! TRASH IT! TRASH IT!

We haven't only learned what seems like negative things about each other but positive things as well. Shawn loves to sing in the shower and has a tendency to get songs that I have never heard of stuck in my head!

"Who do you think you are

Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me"

That's right Christina Perri's Jar of hearts was stuck in my head every day for days and I had never heard it.

I have to tell you that I love being married. There is something so magical about always having someone to come home to, having someone to share your fears and joys with, having someone tuck you in bed after you have fallen asleep on the couch, having someone to take care of you when you are sick, and most importantly waking up and seeing your best friend every morning sleeping by your side. I guess from this paragraph you can tell I am still in the honeymoon phase and I have a feeling it will be here for eternity because I have found my better half. You may now go gag on a spoon :)
