ONE YEAR.

This last year has been NOTHING like I expected it to be after getting married. It has been BETTER. Way better. Everyone always told us (they only told us this because Tyson likes to ask everyone we come in contact with questions and advice about marriage and families and babies and so forth) that the first year is the worst year. Its the hardest year. But they also said you never know its the worst year until you've got past it and are able to look back. Well..I must be in the inbetween stage. Because I cant remember a day where I thought "This is really hard" or "I hope it gets better" because it is better, its the best! Now dont get me wrong, we dont live this perfect life with the perfect marriage. Going from having your own space and your own life one day to sharing EVERYTHING with another person the next day is kind of hard. There have been many days where there are many tears (Mostly from me...okay only from me) for no reason at all and tyson gives me the same look each time that says 1.I dont understand why you are crying, nothing happened..you were just laughing 5 minutes ago. 2. I want to help you feel better but I dont know what to do or say so I will just rub your back instead. 3. You are crazy. 4. I am so confused, so I am going to let you have your space until you are done because this makes me uncomfortable. (Sorry i've turned into a crazy emotional wife tyson.) 

We have learned we both are messy people. There is no better word for it. ONE OF US (not saying who) might be a little more messy than the other one but what can you do. Bad combination.

We both hate to cook. So a lot of the time it results in us snacking on whatever we can find, which usually isnt anything good or healthy until we are sick and hate ourselves for it. 

We need a bigger bed. Thats all I have to say about that one. 

We know exactly what to do to push eachother over the edge. I've recently learned that Tyson doesnt like to get scared. At all. (Warning people) I learned this on accident a couple weeks ago when I was trying to be funny and scare him when he got out of the bathroom, and OH it worked. He didnt think it was as funny as i did. I have done it multiple times since then. The same thing. You'd think he would learn. :)

 Marriage is a funny thing, you're literally combining two people who are completely different in every way possible together. But somehow it works. And its wonderful. 

We celebrated our 1 year this last weekend and it was PERFECT. We went up to scottsdale and stayed at the Talking Stick Resort. We got an amazing room with beautiful views. 

The first night we checked in there was a thunder and lightening storm and we could see the whole thing from our bed. It was crazy outside! We forgot to close all the curtains that night so at 5:30 am the sun woke us up but it was a pleasant surprise. It was such a pretty view and the best sunrise ive ever seen! 

We decided to go to the pool that afternoon and okay first thing to know is they have 2 pools. 1 for the cool young people, and one for the kids/old people/I dont even know who else. So obviously we are cool and young so we went and it was packed, there was not one chair open to lay on and we were surrounded by hundreds of single drunk people. We soon realized that we are lame and belong in the other pool... We hung out there for a few hours and the entertainment there was a nice friendly pelican who decided to join everyone for a swim. We didnt think it was that big of a deal until like 50 managers and security people were showing up trying to capture it because they think it escaped from the zoo or the reservoir..apparently they arent native here. Anyways..we never will know what happened to that poor bird because I was too thirsty to wait and watch outside for it any longer.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing and eating at the casinos buffet they had downstairs. That night another thunder and lightening storm rolled in right in our view and it was perfect. 

I couldnt have asked for a better weekend or a better husband. :)
