Hello Monday, and hello to whoever is reading! I am about to share the first fun part about my March '15. If you missed my last post, an introduction to my March series of posts, click here to read. Otherwise, keep reading! :) Oh, and if you are solely interested in my top 6 registry items, skip half way down.
Today, my hot hubs and I are celebrating a little something. It's little compared to what we will hopefully celebrate together for years to come. But it is a big celebration because it puts a good mark on our first year of marriage.
Happy 6 Months to my awesome husband!
Neither of us are into the whole "happy 6 weeks!" "Happy 2 months!" "Happy 14 months!" Ick.
I mean that's not that bad if you're one of those people. We just are not. And I will not change when babies come along. If I start posting every other week about how old my kid is, or worse, during pregnancy I post the size of the kid inside me compared to some fruit, my husband has permission to band me from social media.
Sorry, that got a little dark. Anyway...
We got married on August 30th last summer. But 6 months later, we're celebrating our little half year mark on March 2nd, because, well ya know, February rides the short bus. Uh well.
So now I want to share some inspiration with you that derived from thinking about the last 6 months.
First off, we made it longer than a lot of marriages. Probably Vegas marriages mostly. Or Kim Kardashian. What? Are we all over that joke?
Also, we have now been together in person, and lived in the same city, for days exceeding the amount of days we were together in person while dating. 161 (roughly) to 190 (roughly.. including wedding + honeymoon.) We dated long distance, if you didn't know.
We really have been blessed with a beautiful first 6 months of marriage. I'll try not to get too sappy on here for everyone's sake, but I do mean it. It's different for every marriage I'm sure. And though we both know that our lives together won't always be this perfect, due to just life and how it goes, we are very grateful to have had such a good start. Especially since I moved away from my hometown and family, it's been as good of a transition as it could have ever been! I have one amazing guy.
Oh! Another thing. I have managed to FEED us every week! Points for wife!
Ok now I will move on to something a little more fun. I am going to list 6 items we were gifted, and LOVE. Items you should definitely register for if you're engaged. (Or use wedding money on afterwards.) :)
#1. Ninja blender.
My parents had gotten one in the year prior to me moving, so I had already fallen in love with it, and wanted to make sure it was on our registry! Though we haven't used it to it's full potential yet, it is an awesome and super powerful blender! I make smoothies pretty often, and my favorite part is I can make just one. I don't have to make a huge batch, but just use the individual cups to make one at a time. Also, I use the same to 'chop' up onion. It turns it to paste practically! So if you need onion in a recipe to add texture, then don't use the Ninja. But if you want flavor and no hassle in cutting it up, the Ninja is perfect!
#2. Toaster. (lol)
Ok, so that's a given I guess. But here's the thing.. my parents got rid of our toaster years ago and we used the oven. Seemed fine to me. But now that I have one again? Love it. Forgot how great they are. Also, we have a rad toaster! It's from West Elm where we had one of three registries. (Great place to find fun and unique stuff to register for!) See pic below:
#3. Towels.
