Some Real Facts

Ok, I use to think these were stupid, but for whatever reason, they are absolutely hilarious to me now. Hope they give you a laugh for the day as they did me.

-Rudolph has a red nose because he got lippy and Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked him across the face several times.

-Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.

Bird Is the Word

Ok, I don’t post videos. I don’t think I ever have. Richard and I saw this the other night and about pee’d ourselves. So, go to his site and check this out. Hilarious. Hopefully you will laugh as hard as we did.

Married Life

Many people keep asking April and I how married life is going. Well, I figured I would share my thoughts. This is the best way to answer that at once and to let everyone at home see how we’re doing. Here are some adjustments and things we are adapting to.

1. Adjusting to sharing a bed. This has been a struggle for us both. I’m use to turning over at night and spreading out. Same for her. I don’t like turning over in the middle of the night and finding out I have only 1/4 of the bed when she has 3/4 of it with ALL the covers. SO, here is what we have done. We have “drawn a line” down the middle of the bed. Her pillow and limbs stay on her side, and I stay on my side. We both like our space when we sleep. Now, we are affectionate, but when it’s sleep time, stay on YOUR side. We have hit each other in the face too many times. I think that has been a HUGE adjustment for us both.

2. Sharing chores. I like to do MY laundry MY way. Don’t leave the clothes in the dryer for three days to wrinkle. I MUST have my clothes out and flat. If not, they get ironed. Yes, I iron ALL my clothes (OCD). Usually its the other way around. Not for us. Among clothing, there is also dishes, vacuuming, making the bed, etc. SO, here is what we have done. I’m currently in the process of making a sheet to go on the fridge that shows who does what each day/week. I have chores and she has chores. For example, I am responsible for dishes (clean and dirty), she is responsible for the bathroom. We try to split the chores. I like things a certain way and so does she. There is also a rule in the kitchen. If you cook, you clean up your mess. I still do the dishes, but if you cook, you clean up whatever you got out and used to cook.

3. Money. Oh yes, the number one cause for divorce. We have decided to tackle this issue before we become a statistic. Now, we took the Dave Ramsey class last year which has helped us greatly. We also have our systems in place. For example, we decided to call each other before a purchase needs to take place.  No matter the cost, we call each other. If we have to spend money, we must discuss it. We are both adjusting. I have a file on the computer which tracks our money and if something doesn’t get logged, it could throw it off. I know, I’m a freak. But, it’s working for us. Also, we are both adjusting to three times the bills. However, something cool is the bills that have reduced since we got married. I have not filled up my SUV in over THREE WEEKS!! It costs $85 to fill it up and we have not spent that in three weeks. Truly amazing. I driver her small car to work and fill it up every TWO WEEKS and spend half the price. ITS GREAT!! I use to fill up once a week in my SUV and that got expensive. All I know is God knows what he is doing.

So there is a little insight to how married life is for us. We are both adjusting and working hard. Marriage is ALWAYS a work IN PROGRESS and we are working at it. I miss the honeymoon cruise, but we’ll have some holidays soon to get out and see our families which is exciting. My FIRST holiday off in three years. Good stuff. I digress…

Good Pics

I found something fun today at work. Some people have done this already and I figured I would give it a try. I found these in some old albums April and I had. So just for fun, here they are. A blast from the past:

Honeymoon Pics

Many people have asked about wedding pictures. Unfortunately, I don’t have any. If you have facebook, there are a few my buddy Traci took, but it will be another four weeks until we get our pictures from the photographer. For the mean time, here are some pictures of the honeymoon we went on. It was a 7 night cruise in the Caribbean. We completely missed the Hurricane and weren’t even affected by it. So check this out, if I can make it work right…

New Job

I started my new job today. I’m actually working right now. Its very weird. I’m use to working twelve hour shifts, getting off at midnight and working non stop. Today I work an eight hour shift, have a one hour lunch break and get off at five. I really have to get use to this “normalness.” Anyway, I’m having a blast. I’m working with my new buddy Will. I get to work with him for another two days before he starts back to SCAD. I’m actually stealing his job. Come to find out, we share lots of interests. I’ve met lots of new people and enjoy the work here at the Savannah Baptist Center. I just got done finishing some busy work for the center. I enjoy staying busy.

A little more normal for me, there was a robbery next door at a retail store. There are three police cars in the parking lot investigating. I want to go next door and see whats up, but those days are gone.

I’m going to post some pics later of the honeymoon on here for those who don’t have facebook. If you do have facebook, check it out. I posted about 30 pics or so last night of the honeymoon. Its good stuff.

A Few

Here are a few pictures of mine and April’s moving day. More to come. These are thanks to Mikey with Beacon Photo.
