The pleasantries

KK

Justin was correct.  I will not be writing about poop.  This time.  Instead, I will give you a more pleasant reading experience, since the primary readers of this blog will inevitably be our moms.

Prior to getting married, I really didn't know much of what to expect.  I don't have brothers, so besides my dad, I have never lived with a boy.  He's a pretty private person anyway, so I would hardly even count that.  I guess if I was expecting anything, it would be that living with a boy would prove to be a huge adjustment.  On the contrary.  It actually hasn't been too different.  The adjustment has been limited to finally realizing how much time I spend in the shower and not being able to sleep sprawled out diagonally across the bed like I'm used to.  The past few weeks have been filled with practicing my cooking, decorating our house, and working through all the nonsense of getting my name changed.  Oh, and starting my new teaching job.  Today was the first day of school and it went surprisingly well! I was rather nervous seeing as I can be quite a pushover at times.  What I could see happening was me nicely introducing myself to the class and getting a response of farts and eye rolls.  Neither of those things happened, praise the Lord.  One precious little girl told me I had a cool last name.  I told her I just got it a few weeks ago, and she was quite excited and showered me with congratulations. Ok, perhaps that's an exaggeration.  Overall, it was a smooth day and each class got easier as the day progressed.  We decided on a first day of school tradition.  As I am typing, we are watching Mean Girls.  Justin suggested this because no matter how bad I think my first day of school could be, it most likely would never be as bad as Cady Heron's...or hopefully Ms. Norberry's (think of the scene where she spills coffee all over her sweater).

I guess there's not much else to say about our first two weeks of marriage.  We will continue to document our adventures.  Thanks for reading!
