Decorating the house

So, one of the cool things you get to do when you get married is decorate your house, any way you want to. For some people, it's high culture and artsy style. For others, it's a couple of pieces of plywood and some cinder blocks. The decision on how to decorate our home caused a lot of groaning, crying, wailing and gnashing of teeth. And when that didn't work, I tried the begging. In the end, Lindsea gets to decorate the apartment, and I get to decorate my TV. Too bad it's only an inch thick.
Married life is pretty awesome so far. We've been very blessed with an apartment in a good location that's close to work and isn't out of our budget. While my most recent role with Disney was a part time role, it also allowed me to have the time off we needed for the wedding and to spend together afterward.
I'm really happy with the wedding and the receptions and get togethers we had as well. I've never had big plans about what the wedding would be like or what I'd like to do for it. I figured that would be the fiance's job ;). As long as I had family there, I'd be happy. It's hard to believe it's been 2 months already.
The month or so leading up to wedding was a bit stressful, to say the least. Of course, what impending nuptials would be complete without some sort of screaming, flying pottery and threats of death? Fortunately, my Marine training came in handy. Apparently the Lord knew I'd need to defend myself one day. Who knew it would be behind my living couch instead of on post in Iraq? However, I have to say that I've really married into a swell family. They really pulled off a great wedding gig, and some fun receptions. You can tell they love that this family has for each other and I'm happy to be a part of it now. Just sorry ya'll are stuck with me now, ha ha :). I'm sure, some where along the way, you probably wondered just what Lindsea was getting herself into. Heck, Lindsea herself probably wondered. All I have to say is: I TRIED TO TELL HER! Of course, we all know how well she listens. :D
Anybody else watch Dr. Who? It's really an interesting show, I think I'm a bit hooked. Not as much as I am on Top Gear, but close. The moral to that story, boys and girls, is don't watch the BBC America late at night while trying to write a coherent blog post.
Have I mentioned that awesome bed that we have to sleep on? It was a great wedding present and I'm glad we have it. I just wish we could sleep on it together, at the same time. You'd THINK a queen bed would be big enough for 2 people! Usually, I have to shove my darling over to make room enough for me to sleep on the edge. Although, sometimes I have to just stop and laugh at the positions she manages to sleep in. The other night, I came in and her right leg was straight up in the air! Imagine it all dark, and in the middle of the bed is this leg, rising out of a mound of blankets and sleeping bags. Crazy. Another time, she woke up and started yelling at me in backwards Latin. One of these days, I'm going to catch something on video, and you'll see it here first!
Speaking of which, it's late (or early morning, depending on your point of view) and the wife is walking around the kitchen, 8/16's asleep and making a bowl of cereal. I'd better go guide her back to bed. Because that's what husbands d0.
Yeah, I'm loving being married :)
