Married Life Rocks My Socks

ANNNND I'm back. Obviously not totally because you'll notice that this didn't post at 4 am like they're "supposed" to. Last night Ronnie looked at me at 10:45 pm and said, "what's Mandi Monday about?"....WHOOPS. But that's ok, some are just slower than others to get back into the saddle.

So let me fill you guys in. LIFE. IS. GOOD! I was absolutely thrilled with how the wedding turned out. Everything went smoothly (I think in large part because my mom ran around the whole day and night running the show....man I love my momma!) Everything was beautiful. The ceremony was wonderful. We wrote our own vows and that was the best decision we made for the whole wedding. We didn't read each other's vows prior, so it was an incredible feeling, standing up there, having the love of your life tell you just what you mean to them. I tell you what, Ronnie did a BEAUTIFUL job on his vows. I've never felt so loved, so appreciated and so blessed. The only "bad" thing about the wedding is what everyone tells you, it FLEW by. There are moments that we both stopped, to just take it all in, and even those moments are fuzzy. But luckily we have it all on film, so we'll watch it back and I'm sure that'll help.

The honeymoon was great, but I won't focus on that because I know you saw pictures.

The best part about the last two weeks: Getting home and settling into life with my amazing husband. I was going to do a top 10 list of being married, but the problem is, there's far more than 10, and the best parts are VERY little things. Here are a few though: Sitting at our dining room table eating a dinner we made together in our kitchen. Setting up our closet with my stuff on the left, his stuff on the right, and walking in each day to be reminded that we get to live together. Finding out how nutty Ronnie is about having all of the labels facing out on items in the pantry. Looking over to see Ronnie kickin' it in his underwear because our A/C went out. Brushing my teeth next to Ronnie. Tag team cleaning the whole house to get ready for company. Riding our cruisers around the 'hood, coffee mugs in hand, chatting about what we want to do with our house and our yard.

Anyway, those are just a few favorites...I won't bore you by going on. Needless to say, I'm loving married life.

How's the sleeping going? I don't think Kristin slept through the night for a very long time, what with my coughing and me being a bed-hog with very active legs. ;-)

Way to be kickin' it with the undies and putting the labels facing out. Pantry detail is very important, one OCD person to another.

The sleeping is going fine. Ronnie occasionally sounds like something out of a horror movie as he makes this crazy gasping sound which is generally accompanied by a sudden jerk. Other than that, no biggy. He is the LOUDEST breather at night, but it's just the same as when he has headphones in - he must self-regulate how loud he breathes when he can hear himself!
Hehe! Sounds familiar to some of my antics I hear about in the morning. I'm known for loud, incoherent humming like a drugged Casper the Ghost. 0_o

Glad you're getting sleep - it can be one of the biggest adjustments since it is generally 6-8 hours of your life every single day.
Shortly after my husband and I got married I found out that he's a sleep-talker. Highly amusing!!!!! So now I stay up just a little later than him hoping to hear something hilarious.......you'll have to let us know if Ronnie does the same! :D

Unfortunately, I'm the sleep talker! Not very often, but occasionally I will say a phrase or two here and there.
Not the most appropriate content, but this wife has been blogging her husband's nightly sleep-talking for years. She started recording it, too!

I have CF, but have known for a long long time that I 'moan' in my sleep from my childhood sleepovers, and from my parents. Mike seems to have, in the past 2 years managed to learn how to sleep through my moaning (sometimes referred to as "mooing") AND my wakeups accompanied by coughing fits. The thing that stood out for me that made me feel most "loved" when we got married, was how for the longest time, whenever Id wake up and cough, he'd wake up with me and rub my back at the same time. You spouses touch my heart with all you put up with with us CF'ers! <3
