THINGS I'VE LEARNED SINCE WE'VE BEEN MARRIED

1.) DON'T LEARN TO COOK BEFORE YOU'RE MARRIED. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT IF YOU START THE MARRIAGE COOKING WONDERFUL THINGS, HE WILL JUST EXPECT IT! BUT, IF YOU ARE NO GOOD AT COOKING, LIKE ME, AND LATER SHOW HIM YOU'RE TRYING AND LEARNING JUST FOR HIM-HE WILL BE BEYOND APPRECIATIVE WHEN YOU EVEN MAKE THE EFFORT. YES, GOOD PLAN.
2.) DON'T HALF THE RECIPE. BOYS EAT MORE THAN GIRLS. HALFING THE RECIPE WILL LEAVE YOU NO LEFTOVERS-MEANING MORE FAILED ATTEMPTS AT COOKING-KEEP THE FAMILY SIZE AND GET 2 NIGHTS OF MEALS IN 1!
3.) LEARN WHAT A FIRST DOWN IS. MY MOM WISELY TOLD ME THIS ONE. I'VE BEEN GOING AND WATCHING THE GAMES WITH HIM AND TRYING TO BE SUPPORTIVE BUT BEING RIDICULOUSLY BORED. LEARNING WHAT A FEW KEY RULES OF THE GAME ARE HELPING TAKE THE BORING EDGE OFF.
4.) LAUGH! BOYS AND GIRLS THINK DIFFERENTLY, AND IT'S HILARIOUS! ENJOY IT! THERE ARE MANY MORE SIMILARITIES THAN DIFFERENCES, SO WHEN YOU ARE AT CABELLAS WITH HIM AND JUST DON'T GET IT-GIGGLE-A LOT. PS-WHEN WE WERE THER LAST TIME-SOME GUY ASKED ME IF I WORKED THERE-I WAS IN A SKIRT AND HEELS-I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!
