Week Six.

Week six?

When I was trying to think of what week I was on,

and I thought, "six," I kind of freaked out.

How have I been married for 6 weeks?

And I'm still a college graduate.

What? Seriously. What?

Time goes by way too fast when you grow up, and I don't even get it.

This week we went to two Ranger games.

Both were significantly hot. Like, really hot.

They were both fun. Probably the second one was better since we won.

And Dirk was there.

My cat is literally sprinting around the apartment right now. Sprinting.

She keeps bringing me her mouse so she can play fetch but she's gone through

two of them now and I guess she's tired of that game.

Now she's playing with the flower I took out of my hair.

I finished my first book on my nook a few days ago!

I started a second one, and I love this one, too.

My goal is to finish it by tomorrow so I will have read two books

in a week. Mom would be so proud.

The book I'm reading now is about a little boy who went to

heaven for a little while and it is AWESOME.

I think I've cried about 5 times now. (Thanks, mom)

At one point in the book the little boy's dad tells him

he can't run out in front of cars because he could

get really hurt or even die.

The little boy looked up at him and said, "Oh, good!

Then I get to go back to heaven!"

Well, back to the cat (she's the most exciting part of our apartment).

We gave her her shots last month.

She scratched herself and got it infected last week.

THIS week - she got worms.

Thursday Alyssa AND Jacqueline came to visit. It was the best.

Time went by WAY too fast, though. But we had fun. It felt normal. 

Also, I finally completed the entire name-changing process.

I don't know if I was just putting it off (I like to procrastinate), or if it usually takes this long.

Really, I don't care. I'm just glad it's done. Finally. Brittany Whitehead.

Well, that's about it this week.

Chris should be back from golf pretty soon.

Golf. Golf. Golf. It's basically his new favorite thing.

That and our new tv. He got HD now, too.

So that's a big deal, apparently.

Look at us - golf and HD tv.

Week Five.

Well, I've now been married for over five weeks.

 

Right now Chris is irritating the cat (as always).

She still loves him, though. And he still loves her.

We got our new tv yesterday.

Chris was thrilled. Literally thrilled.

He thinks everything looks so real that it makes him feel weird.

I think it looks the same.

Chris is still bothering the cat.

 

So, I finally got a nook since Chris has one and he is ALWAYS using it.

I LOVE mine!

I've almost read an entire book already, and I only got it 2 days ago!

OH! And also, yesterday I was sleeping (for a long time), and

Chris decided to clean the whole living room! He even

vacuumed! And he did the dishes!

Seriously. Awesome.

Props to Chris.

Maybe next Sunday I will try taking another long nap and

see what happens.

I meet with my advisor at DBU tomorrow to set up my grad school schedule.

That will be fun.

I'm such a grown up.

Okay, well, I think that's about all I have for this week.

Stay tuned.

Week Four.

Okay, so I've been married four weeks now.

Yes. Four weeks.

Anyways,

To start out, we thought this past Sunday was Father's Day, and it wasn't.

We didn't figure that out until we got to church - late, of course.

For anyone else who's confused like us...apparently it's the 3rd Sunday of June.

Just a heads up.

Chris had three interviews this week. 

The rest of the week was a normal newlywed week. It consisted of cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, and all that other stuff.

One new thing - I FINALLY got my guitar out and sat down and sang. But, in the midst of that, I got interrupted because Chris turned the tv way up while I was playing, and needless to say, I got mad.

The cat has had an obscene amount of energy all week, and it seems like she seriously never wants to stop playing fetch. Never. She's trying to play with me right now, actually.

In other news, I finally officially changed my last name to Whitehead this week.

I only spent about TWO HOURS in the social security office.

So, that concludes week 4. Here's to week number 5!

Day 20.

Look at me!

Blogging two days in a row!

Here's what's happening in day 20 of married life:

I woke up at 2:45 this afternoon. Yes....2:45. I have no idea why.

I remembered one of the weirdest dreams of my life. My husband turned into a dragon at night and it was weird. I went back to visit college and didn't know anyone because I was old.

We FINALLY had a bedspread picked out, and I FINALLY put it on today!

It looks great. And of course - it is pink.

 

My cat thought we were playing some cat game when I was trying to make the bed,

so she kept attacking the sheets and hiding underneath them.

It made making the bed significantly more difficult, but she was so cute that there

was absolutely no way I could even be mad.

For now, I'm just waiting on my husband to get back from work, and I'm probably

going to do a load of laundry and finish the dishes. Who knew I could ever

be so domestic?

That's it for today.

My First Update as a Newlywed.

Yep.

I am updating for the first time as a married woman.

My husband and I are watching the Mavs game right now, and I need something to

do while I watch because I get nervous!

Here are 10 things I've learned from being a Newlywed for almost 3 weeks:

1) Men enjoy leaving the toilet seat up.

2) Moving in is extremely overwhelming.

3) That my husband is totally in to Reggae music. I never knew before.

4) .....How to spell Reggae.

5) There are ALWAYS dishes that need to be done.

6) The more I want kids, the more Chris does not.

7) There is a bill for absolutely everything. Even having a dumpster and having a pet.

8) I have a ton of shoes. A ton.

9) There are things you assume your husband knows about you after almost 4 years of dating, but for some reason, unbeknownst to you, he does not. Like your favorite band - Journey.

10) I love my husband and I love being married.

We'll see what comes along with the next 3 weeks.

In the meantime, go Mavs!

And maybe someday we will finish moving in and setting up our apartment.

Someday.
