I've been playing around with the idea of adding a feature on my post about married life and here it is, "This Old Married Life." I wanted to share some of the things I have learned from being married, it's only been a short time but I feel like marriage teaches you something new everyday. Sometimes it's fun and other times it's really hard but it's all worth it.
So without further ado...my first post about this old married life.
Yep, that's our bed. I know, not very exciting. If you're thinking I'm about to say something a la MTV Cribs, like "this is where the magic happens" well that's definitely NOT what this post is all about...so just pull your mind out of the gutter!
Our bedroom is the least decorated part of our house mostly because I'm in the process of making a quilt for our bed and I don't really want to decorate until it's finished, but I digress. We sleep here in this bed every night that we are home. Now when you get married and you have to share a bed with someone every single night it's a little different then when you're dating and you get to spend those little moments like naps and things next to one another. This is EVERY SINGLE DAY people. Here is one of many little oxymoron's about being married.
1. I LOVE sharing a bed with Mr. Coleman. When I travel for business it's weird to be alone and it's difficult for me to fall asleep without him there. I like waking up and looking at his face, or being the psycho that I am watching to see if he's still breathing. (That's a whole other blog on my craziness.) It's wonderful to just roll over and lie on his shoulder or to see him smiling at me when he says "Good Morning."
2. I would really like to NOT have another person always right next to me in my bed! I know this totally contradicts what I said above but many times I just want to stretch out or not think we are having an earthquake when Mr. Coleman moves around and wakes me up! I just want to be alone to move and stretch and not be annoyed by the fact that he's awake and I'm not.
So what do you do about this? I don't know. When I talked to Mr. Coleman about writing this little feature and told him this was going to be my first post he agreed with me. Apparently sleeping next to me everyday is no picnic either. He said when I was away this last time he slept so well but that of course all he wanted was for me to come home and be here with him again. Marriage is full of little things just like this, where you both love and hate the exact same thing. It's bizarre!
I guess that's just the way old married life works.

What do you think of me adding "This Old Married Life" as a feature every week or two?
