More Discoveries

Six months into married life and I don't know where to start describing the things I have learned so far (there's so many of them!). From the top of my head:
  1. I can now cook. Well, not like a pro, but definitely waaaay past the thank-God-for-microwave-and-food-delivery stage back when I was still single. I am now able to prepare pork sinigang, nilagang baka, pochero, pininyahang baboy, beef guisado, tinolang manok, adobo, and pork steak AND have Jax eat it! (Meaning, it's at least edible! - hahahaha) But seriously, hubby says I'm getting better each time. Yeyyy! ;)
  2. Keeping your own house is really different - you get more OC. My room at our house used to be messy most of the time but now? Oh no no no kalat please!!! I suddenly developed a neat freak in me! I never thought cleaning the house could take up so much of my weekend time. Everything just has to be in order and spotless - throw pillows, carpets, sink, tables, cabinets, and the list goes on...
  3. Marriage equals compromise, especially when you have very little common ground. Getting used to always making decisions together when you've always been accustomed to doing things your way may take a while, and that's where meeting half way comes in handy. That goes even with the seemingly unimportant "issues" - like in choosing what to watch on TV, where to spend holidays, how to arrange furniture, etc. You always have to come up with a win-somehow-win situation.
  4. Nothing beats praying and reading the Bible together. Hearing what is in the hearts of each other creates a wonderful connection between two souls. It's an amazing feeling that God makes us experience - a more "tangible" manifestation of genuine love.
I could write more but it would probably take me 20 years or so so this should do for now. I have read this somewhere but I might have rolled my eyes on this but right now this just sums up how I'm feeling:

You know how sometimes you'd rather stay awake than sleep because reality is better than your dreams? That's how I am when I'm with you. Like now.

Aaaaw. I hope superhubby and I stay this way for a really, really, really long time. ;)
