Friday Four!
Yes, I know we try to do five but I'm tired and it's Friday so we can do whatever we want.
1. one thing you miss from your single life.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier.
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do.
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband.
Re: Friday Four!
1. one thing you miss from your single life. Hmm.. nothing really. I had my single life experiences out of my system before I got married. As far as going and making big purchases without remorse, DH actually encourages that.... I'm the thrifty one who rarely does it.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier. N/A
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. This isn't big, but it is all I can think of. Go to the freaking bank and make his deposits like an adult! I swear there is a bank within a reasonable walking distance from our house and DH acts like he has never set foot in one.
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband. Ate Sushi, or Chinese food, or Indian Food. I also probably would not have taken nearly as many vacations.
1. one thing you miss from your single life. Well right now, being able to take overseas trips with my girls. They left for a European trip and my DH just doesn't like the thought of me traveling overseas with all my girls. Apparently within the states is fine.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier. Coming home every night to DH. (side note - I just said that in my mind and boy does it sound gay - but still stands)
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. Eat Mexican food. Give me Asian any day!
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband. Eat vegetables. I hated all veggies before and now I'm eating some. Baby steps...I'm not up to broccoli yet!1. one thing you miss from your single life. Coming home, sitting on the couch and controlling the TV. Or walking around naked (even though DH wouldn't mind it... the kid would!)
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier. The DH insisted on having 2 HD boxes in the house so that we could both watch our shows... and he will even go to the bedroom to watch his. He's pretty considerate.
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. Anything to do with that STUPID Harley that he loves so much. grr..
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband. Rode on a Harley. I have vivid images of my death on those things.
Bio
1. one thing you miss from your single life. N/A, like Tiffany I pretty much had all my single stuff out of the way before Matt and I dont miss any of it one bit.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier.N/A
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. I make all his complaint calls, he hates complaining and usually just wont do it so I do it instead
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband. I never would have moved to TX
Thank you MATT for bringing BL to us!!
1. One thing you miss from your single life. - Not having to socialize with people I don't like because he likes them/is related to them.
2. One thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier. Laughing all the time.
3. One thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. - Clean up EVERYTHING. He has lost all ability to pick up after himself. I don't know what's up with this!
4. One thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband. - Have a dog. I just am not a dog person, but now we have 125 lbs of love living in our house.
1. one thing you miss from your single life.
Every once in a while I'll miss being alone. I can read, watch TV, clean, do whatever I want without having anyone else to consider.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier.
This is cheesy - but DH is my best friend. I feel like life is so much better with him.
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do.
I don't mind cleaning, but when you add a person to the home, it feels like it takes twice as long to clean. I would clean anyway, but it was so much easier to clean when it was just me.
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband.
Try different foods, exercise more, etc. Doing things as a couple is much more fun than doing things on your own.
Word.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
1. one thing you miss from your single life. Being able to shop at will without explanation.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier. My husband takes care of all the finances and I am much better off financially.
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. I can't answer that on a public message board.
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband. Eaten sushi.

Just do it!
1. one thing you miss from your single life.
I miss my little apartment in Euless and being so close to work and all my favorite places, and especially being as close as I was to Mesquite and North Park.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier.
Bill is really easy going so, most of the time, he doesn't mind if I say I would rather go do something in Southlake or Grapevine instead of near Denton.
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do.
The laundry.
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband.
I never would have eaten at some of the awesome restaurants that he's taken me too.
First drug lords, now this. Stephie you are full of good ones this week!
I totally agree. My jaw dropped when I read that. Haha.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier.DH will do anything for me, so if I think about that, it isn't so bad to keep the house the way he likes it.
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do.watch hockey on tv
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband.I know some of you have said this as well, but I never would have gone on so many awesome trips without him!

Aw c'mon, you know you were thinking it.
Right?

Just do it!
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. I can't answer that on a public message board.
When I put that question up, I was wondering who was going to post something similar to this. I had no idea that it would be you!!!!
I think it just surprises us that the comment came from you. Our sweet little Stephie. Haha.
1. one thing you miss from your single life. hmmm...shopping! I used to be able to spend all my money on clothes, shoes, etc. Now that I'm married and we only have one income(his), I can't do that.
2. one thing from your married life that makes giving it up okay/easier. DH. Nuf said.
3. one thing you do for your husband that you would really prefer not to do. hmmm, I'll have to think on that one.
4. one thing you never would have done if you hadn't met your husband. So many things. Would have never gone to Europe this past spring. I would have gone eventually at some point in my life, but not now. And the list goes on. He has opened my world up to so many things, and he challenges me to try new things and be more open minded. One thing that makes him so perfect for me.
