- It's easier to go to bed at a decent hour when everyone else is going to bed (aka, the Mr.). I used to stay up way to late when I lived alone... I think I just didn't like having to be the one always pointing the finger at myself and making myself go.
- It's nice to have an immediate audience to tell all about my day. Even the low key or boring stuff.
- I'm not as good of a listener as I maybe thought I was.
- Men and women definitely are different.
- I like FHE a whole heck of a lot more with a real family than with a singles group. (Not that there isn't a time and place, but you know)
- Budgeting is dang hard work.
- I really like praying out loud with someone else. I didn't know how much I missed that living alone.
- Boys eat a lot.
- I love (LOVE) not having to always be the driver. Thank you, Jeremy.
- It's harder to keep the house tidy. Much. How does one more person do that?
- It's fun to always have an immediate person to serve.
- Two heads really are better than one.
- It's easier to cook for two. And much more fun.
- It's great to not have to always clean the bathroom or do the dishes. Someone else sharing the load makes it a whole lot lighter.
- I love having an automatic person to sit by at church (or anywhere else, for that matter!)
- I learn a lot more from the scriptures when I talk about what I studied.
- It's fun to plan (you know, life in general) with someone else.

Thanks for your sweet comment--I love your guts, too!! Aren't dreams crazy? I agree with your list--marriage is so fabulous, but you certainly learn a lot about yourself (and your spouse)--your weaknesses, especially (at least in my case). And parenthood even more so. I wish I could meet the wonderful guy who married Carly Jane!
wow i can't believe it has been almost 2 months already!!! This was a cute post... and i have to say i way agree. I noticed those small things too after marriage...
What a GREAT list. I love them all.
It's also much easier for me to put away my laundry because Bart always puts his right away and I don't want to be the only one with my clothes in a heap on the vanity.
You are so cute Carly Jane! I really agree with most of your list. Have a great day!

Carly, I loved the idea of making a list. I agree with every one of those things. It's crazy how much we learn about ourselves and our spouse after we get married. Even if we dated for a while before getting married. Glad things are going so well for you guys.
Awww . . . yay for married life. So, on keeping the house tidy. It will only get harder. He's probably actually trying still (this early in the marriage, you know?), then you add a couple kids and all their toys into the mix and you have a real mess on your hands. :) You just learn to live with some of the mess. Also, I don't ever bother cleaning before the weekend unless I'm entertaining because the house is always messy if Ian is home. I totally agree that cooking for more than 1 is much easier and feels more worth it. Glad you are enjoying life. I loves to hear it!
Loved this post! Such a great list!
"you've been boo-ed". check out my blog.
Amen sista! Sweet post.
Good list Carly Jane. I am glad you are still enjoying married life. I still think it is great!!! It is funny, but the mess thing is the first thing to jump out to me just like Shannon. Pretty much just get use to it. Children serisouly just bring on more mess. If there is one thing I get tired of the most it has to be "Is cleaning really worth it?" Well, the answer is Definatly YES. I cannot live in a dirty mess. But, it really does just get harder. Oh well. It is worth it to have a great husband and kids right? :) I just look forward to when the boys will help me more (meaning Tanner and Brayden and eventually Chase.) They already help some, but not enough to really help with the burden. I am glad you're still happy, learning, and enjoying life. We need to talk again soon. I love you sista!!
Carly, I definitely Agree!!! ~Amen Sister! ;-)Lol, however everyday that comes and goes, I find more ways that Daniel and I are actually alot alike!-lol, since we don't argue or fight, we make up our own silly arguments!-It's fun! Neither one of us can ever make it through a single "argument" without laughing! He loves teasing me too...He's almost JUST LIKE MY DAD... and I love it!
Congrats to you two again! Keep smiling! Life's Gr8!
