- my husband is a great surface cleaner. however, if you consider eating something off of the counter and i’ve been out of town…think again
- there must be something “manly” about taking out the trash. i find joy in keeping my email inbox clean. he finds joy in keeping Hefty in business with his multiple trash trips each day
- growing up, I remember someone told me it cost 10 cents for every light switch you turn off and on. my husband must believe that is true still. either that, or his fingers hurt too much from working so hard he can’t bear to move them to save power or the earth
- there is never any harm in a good ‘ol fashion competition – especially when it comes to who can mow the yard the best or power wash the fence more efficiently
- “alone time” is out the window. at first I thought it was just my dog rudely barging through closed doors…apparently it is a boy thing
- it is always nice when the one who cooks can watch the other clean. my husband actually initiated this rule and i gladly follow it. i think he just wanted to continue his fetish with loading the dishwasher…but again, who’s complaining?
- the family that blogs together stays together. my husband is a blogger now too
- dance. even when your wife is watching. or recording it on her cell phone
- sing loudly. even when you husband is sitting next to you
- something about our bed being made makes me feel like we have it all pulled together. i will strive to stay away from this lie
- apparently i missed the memo on any canned beverage tasting better after sitting open in the fridge for at least two days…
- a well manicured yard is something to be proud of. let’s not go there on where you keep your trash
- i’ve lived by a lot of “secret rules” that i somehow expected my husband to “just know” – working on getting over that
- strive to love each other the way your dog does every day when you come home from work
- long walks and lying in bed laughing before bed will keep a marriage young. maybe this is hopeful two months in, but those are two of our cherished times together each day

LOL!!
Brandt : You must comment to this !! There has to be things Kelly does that bugs you. Here is one in my marriage : The first time I brushed my teeth and spit in the sink, I thought your Aunt Teresa was going to have a heart attack. She had been raised that you spit only in the toilet. I held my guns and continued to spit in the sink. What if I dripped saliva as I tried to get to the toilet ??? There are just certain things you must continue to do because it is in your genes. Make the small changes as they are irrelevant !! Good Luck !!
Uncle Steve
Brandt: There is a true art to spitting in the toilet--it requires class as well as a certain degree of flair to do it without drooling! Your Uncle Steve is just jealous! You know you can trust me on this one since I am the aunt who took you to the ENT specialist to fish the rock out of your ear! Love you both!
Aunt Teresa
Kelly, Who raised this young man anyway? :) I have to say, however, that he redeems himself with his blog. Wow! Love you both, Mom
