It’s like the 1st year of marriage.

It past me up so suddenly three days ago…THE121 and I made it through out first quarter together! I was joking with a friend that living in THE121 is a lot like the first year of marriage (says the single girl). I’m told that the first year or marriage is tough and wonderful all at the same time (can someone verify that this is true?!).

I’m told you’re still in love but, y’a know, just trying to figure each other out, quirks and all. I’d have to say that’s how it’s been so far for me and THE121.

I’m learning the ebb and flow of the propane tanks. I’m learning to keep extra gas on hand and I’m learning the noises that come in the middle of the night.

I’m learning to ask for help and I am learning that I have awesome neighbors (did I tell you about when I locked myself INSIDE my house?).

So we made it. While it’s still autumn, winter has arrived with the glory of the snow (next post). So there’s a whole new season ahead of us.

With the impending snow, procrastination, I could fend off no more. An after work trip to Lowe’s and THE121 was winterized quickly (well almost…).

So am I still in love with my house? 100%. Am I learning it’s quirks? 100%.

One thought on “It’s like the 1st year of marriage.

  1. Yes the first year of marriage you learn so much.
    My first year of marriage I had to teach Mike that you don’t hang your clothes on the curtain rods and he had to teach me to take wrappers off the tamales before cooking them and serving them for dinner. They came in a can. So you can tell the first year of marriage is discoveries and laughs.
