Newlyweds

Let me just say that I LOVE being a newlywed.
Married life is even better than I imagined. It is so much fun being married to your best friend. I love all of the time I get to spend with Jeff. I love sharing my thoughts with him, as well as laughter and good times.
We've both been pleasantly surprised by a few things. I love how much he helps me in the kithcen. He doesn't like being in charge of the cooking, but he's happy to help out by peeling or cutting things, or doing other odd jobs that I give him.
In return, Jeff has been pleasantly surprised by my being able to cook. Apparently, I didn't cook for him very much while we were dating or engaged - there just weren't many opportunities. I remember the first time I made a Sunday roast, carrots, and potato crockpot meal for him after we were married. I felt like I was watching that scene in What About Bob when Bob is sighing and groaning in pleasure after every bite. Not to say that I'm the world's greatest cook or anything - I'm certainly still learning - but I cook more and better than Jeff was expecting. I love his support and appreciation.
Jeff and I enjoy many of the same things, such as watching TV and playing games, which we get to do on a weekly basis. I LOVE spending so much time with my best friend!
Let me just say that Jeff is WONDERFUL. So patient, kind, loving, supportive, fun to be with, and just all around a wonderful man and husband.
We have decided that we'd like to enjoy this "Honeymoon period" for ... umm, the rest of our marriage. It's our goal to make it last. I know that kids will change our family and our relationship a bit, and we don't want to be obnoxiously lovey-dovey parents that embarress our kids, but we still want to maintain an element of being newleyweds for years to come.
