What We've Learned

So earlier this week it was our 8 month anniversary. We don't normally celebrate monthly anniversaries, but we'll take any excuse to go out to eat. We've had a lot of changes in the last 8 months, like moving from our apartment to the house. Okay, we've had just one change, but still, it was significant. Lets take a look at some things we learned over the last 8 months. Rick's comments will be in blue.

I've learned that Rick likes to eat boring/gross things such as tofu and plain cheerios.

I've learned that Jodi likes Kraft American Cheese slices, which I thought was only for little kids.

I've learned that Rick doesn't like to cut his toe nails because he can't breathe when he bends over. Haha.

I've learned that Jodi puts lotion on her feet every night, but she doesn't like to touch feet (including her own) so she rubs her feet together with the lotion on it.

When I had my Bridal Shower I got a pair of socks that said "Boys Stink" on them. After the shower Rick's sister, Marci, came up to me and told me my socks were a true statement. And she was right, boys do stink.

I've learned that if I don't take a shower every night then my options are to either sleep on the couch or in the guest bed. If I don't take a shower I'm not allowed to sleep in bed with her.

I've learned that Rick talks in his sleep and frequently complains that I take up too much space when really, he is bigger than I am, so how can I take up too much space?

I've learned that Jodi thinks that I'm taking up the whole bed when really I'm clinging to the sheet every night so that I don't fall off.

I've learned that rain or shine, good day or bad, I can always make Rick laugh.

I've learned that the way Jodi says "Hi" to me when I see her tells me whether or not she needs food.

I've learned that what I consider "way too freaking loud to play when I'm trying to sleep", Rick considers perfect volume.

I've learned that Jodi likes it when I have a beard.

I've learned that even with a full beard, barrel chest, and huge arms, beneath the tough exterior is a huge heart that will make Rick cry while watching 24.

I've learned that I like to think that I wear the pants in our relationship but we all know thats a lie.

What a smart man. Stay tuned to find out what else we will learn during the coming weeks, months, and years.
