BLOG IN YOUR FACE

Jaci and I have always lived separately throughout our relationship. We were going to try and keep it that way until we were married, however, we fell in love with a house, bought it, and our plans obviously changed. We now live under the same roof for the first time ever and we will continue to do so up until our September 20th wedding and for the rest of our lives! I got to thinking today about how big of a step we have really taken. I don’t think either of us realizes the magnitude of moving in together. It was easy for me to come up with the following list of things that I have come to discover about her by living together and of which I truly adore about her. So here goes:

1) When she is engrossed in a movie she doesn’t look at me when I come home from work and talks out of the side of her mouth.
2) She is really good about keeping the ‘fridge stocked with hot dogs for me. I go through about 12 a week on average.
3) I am pretty convinced that most of her personal problems and strife can be solved with one or two bites of either brownie or ice cream.
4) If she is half as nurturing and patient to our future children as she is to my dog, than she will be a wonderful mother.
5) She just HAS to eat breakfast. I am pretty sure that if she were to skip that particular meal her stomach would digest itself and she would have a fit of rage. I on the other hand can go an entire day without remembering to eat. But I love how she pops up every morning and makes herself breakfast
6) She undresses every night by simply dropping her clothes in a heap in front of the closet. She climbs into bed with her socks on and kicks them off in the middle of the night and they end up accumulating under the sheets in piles. I have found that I like picking up after her. It is cute and gives me something to do besides pace around.
7) She literally pulls her hair out every morning in front of the mirror and throws the hair ball in the toilet. She sheds worse than a sheep dog. Seriously, she could tie her hair together and escape from prison if the situation and necessity should ever arise. There is a medical term for this..its called “ADORABLE.”
8 ) She insists on calling the basement “The Man Cave.”
9) I have learned that it only takes finding a good deal on Craigslist for her to become ecstatic.
10) She cries way more often than I ever thought she did.
11) She doesn’t like lists that I make.
12) She loves making lists.
13) If you lined up all of the capillaries in the human body end to end and then lined up all of Jaci’s shoes end to end right next to the capillaries, I am relatively positive that the line of her shoes would extend further.
14) Her computer works way better than mine and doesn’t sound like a lawn mower.
15) When we have a rummage sale, I guarantee that just over 3 percent of the stuff on sale will be mine and 96 percent will be hers.
16) If this is growing old, I don’t wanna be young!
17) All she asks is that I put down the Swiffer mop and the bag of squirrel corn every once and awhile and just come and lay on the couch with her for 5 minutes.
18) Not only does she think that her Dyson vacuum cleaner is a great vacuum, but she may just believe it is the solution for world peace and the cure for cancer. I am waiting for her to stick it on the corner and light 4 dozen candles around it. She is CRAZY about it.
19) Finally, the thing that I have learned more about every single day now that we are under the same roof is that living with a real life angel is pretty cool. I am so glad I have her for myself because I think she was one of the last ones in stock. Having the best girlfriend and bride-to-be in the world definitely has its perks.
