It's Been a Minute......

Hi y'all! And by "y'all" I mean my husband and mother since they are the only ones who currently read my blog!

This has been just a crazy week at work and I have already slacked off on this new hobby of mine. However, I vow that I will begin working on it more and hope to gain some followers and a comment or two.

I am so ready for summer. I absolutely loathe any season but summer.

And right now it is feeling like -10 degrees outside. I think I'm going to hibernate and come out when the season changes.

What if He Already Put a Ring On It?

There was a little discussion tonight at the Newly Wedded Life house. And, since I know you are just dying to know what it was about, I'll tell you!

Mr. H got me a new Ipod for Christmas and I have been putting songs on it practically everyday. I don't know about you, but I love running with some high energy, fast paced, girl power songs, so that is what my Ipod primarily consists of.

It just so happens that Mr. H has the same exact Ipod that I do. And he grabbed mine accidentally before his run tonight. This was the conversation that took place when he got back:

Mr. H: Babe, question.

Me: Yeah, what's up?

Mr. H: You know we got engaged and married, right?

Me: Um, yeah. I think I was a little bit a part of all of that.

Mr. H: Well then why are you listening to a song for single women?

Me: Mmmmk, what?

Mr. H: "If he likes it then he should have put a ring on it?"

Me: Oh, that's Beyonce - I love that song!

Mr. H: I don't love it. I don't love it because it's offensive to me. I liked it, I put a ring on it. Shouldn't that be enough?

Me: Oh, well, I'm fairly certain the song wasn't written about us. So, I think it's ok.

Mr. H: Oh, ok, yeah that really clears it up because I was under the impression that I was the one that was "wanting to trip."

I think this proves two things. One, that my husband is the whitest man on the planet. And two, that he should be more careful which Ipod he picks up from now on.

Date Night Disaster

Mr. Husband and I went to see Bride Wars last night.

I have been wanting to see this movie for like ever. Seriously.

We almost didn't get to see it, though. Thus making for a very interesting story story to tell you.

Yesterday morning I wrote my premier blog post after having been up practically all night with a bunch of 7th grade girls at their lock in where half the time was spent being absolutely best friends forever and the other half was spent being archenemies because each one was certain that Nick liked "me and not you!!!" This was all, of course, mixed with pizza, caffeine, sugar and bible study. For what it's worth,I'm pretty sure they left on the BFF terms, but you never can tell with 7th grade girls! Praise the Lord for youth group lock ins. It was a blast, but needless to say, I was exhausted. So, after I introduced myself to the blog world I went and crawled into bed. And that's where I stayed until about 1pm. Mr. H had been gone at basketball games all morning at the church so the house was quiet and all to myself - and I missed it because I was sleeping. Yes, I love my husband but come on - a girl has got to have some time to herself!

I digress.

Anyway, Mr. H got home just in time to watch the Memphis game on television. Memphis is our team. Mr. H went there for his undergraduate degree, as did his father and his father's father.....you get the picture. So, we are Tiger fans here at the Newly Wedded Life house. And no, we will not get over last year's Conference USA loss. We do not speak of it in our home. Or his parent's home.

Just for the record, it was a great game last night. A great game that didn't end until 6:15. Not a lot of time to eat dinner and get to the movie. So, we go where you go when you want delicious food fast: Chik Fil A. Mine knows me by name. And it's always their pleasure to take my order.

We got there at 6:30, finished eating at 7 and headed to the movie theatre that is literally 30 seconds away. It took us no less than 12 minutes to get there. Apparently in the 30 minutes it took us to eat our #2s with diet lemonade, everyone and their brother decided to see a movie. When we pulled up there was a line wrapped around the theatre to get tickets. Mr. H let me out and parked. Which, by the way, took him about 15 minutes in that horrific parking lot. It's a good thing I wasn't driving, I would have lost my religion. He joined me in line at 7:30. By this time I was getting worried that we wouldn't get in to see the previews. I love previews. As we stood in line I began to quit caring about the previews and just hope there were two seats that were together. About 5 minutes later I decided that we didn't need to sit together, just as long as there were two seats. Then I started thinking that we could get our baseball chairs out of the car and sit in them. Finally we got up to the door and what do you think is flashing on the marquee?!?! Bride Wars SOLD OUT!!!! What the...?!?! I never dreamed it would be sold out. But, here we were. We had inhaled our food, braved traffic that would make your grandma say words only sailors are allowed to say and froze our butts off in the cold for 20 minutes only to make the 5 mile trek back to the car.

Not quite the evening I had planned. However, we got our wits about us and headed to another theatre where it was playing at a little bit later time. When we got to that theatre we immediately got our tickets, even though it wasn't playing for 45 more minutes! And since there was a Target next door and I had been through such an ordeal, I decided to reward myself with a shopping spree couple of new shirts while we were waiting. And I snuck TCBY into the movie.

The movie was good. It made me very glad that my best friend and I got engaged and married in very different time periods. We had always thought it would be fun to be engaged at the same time and get married very close to one another, and ironically our personalities parallel the characters in the movie a bit too much. Suffice it to say, after talking to her last night{she saw the movie Saturday afternoon} we have changed our minds. We will further counsel all young girls we come across to stay far away from the competition weddings. It ruins everything.

In all the night was a successs. We ate good food, saw a good movie, bought cute shirts and learned a life lesson. What else should we have done on a Saturday night?

And So It Begins.....

I guess it's official now. I'm a blogger.
I never saw this coming, but after months of stalking lurking reading so many wonderful blogs out there, I thought I would give it a try. Plus, now that planning my wedding is over, I need to find something to do with my time! I used to have a blog when I was in college and have always loved to write, but we'll see how long this lasts!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm Mrs. Wife married to my very best friend, Mr. Husband. Mr. Husband and I were married in September and it was truly the best day of our lives! I can't believe how wonderful the man is that God picked for me! We live in the great South in one of its many thriving metropolises. I love to shop, decorate, bake, read, travel and watch movies. And now, apparently blog. We are very active in our church; he is the sports coordinator and I teach Sunday School to some very rowdy rambunctious precious 3 year olds! I believe there is nothing better you can do for yourself than be involved in a good church home. This is the church in which we grew up and were married. Both of our families attend this church, but even if they didn't it would feel like home.
At this point, we are just trying to enjoy our newly wedded life and all that comes with it! We are still getting used to our roles as husband and wife and so that is what this blog is about - adjusting to our newly wedded life. The good, the bad and probably sometimes the ugly.
I would be honored to have you join us on this journey - or at least just one or two comments thrown my way would work as well!
