  • Marital Arts

    I promised Sakaara that I wouldn't be one of those bloggers who stops blogging after they get married.  And I won't.  But our landlords don't remember their Wi-Fi password, so until we get their router reset I'm limited to the few times I can pick up the one-bar-of-reception distant neighbor's signal that I can't always get.  Or connecting when we visit someone else.  (Just checked my email--145 new emails.  Oi.)

    Alaska pics will be forthcoming as soon as we've solved the Internet problem.

    Some thoughts:

    --I just moved the rest of my stuff, and my cat, into our new apartment.  Now it feels more like home.  Home is where your cat rests.

    --Getting used to the sharing-a-full-sized-bed thing.  We're doing better, but at first there were a few elbows in the ears.  On the honeymoon we had a king-sized bed, which spoiled us.  Now, we have to figure out how to share the bed both with each other and with a pillow-stealing cat.

    --Another thing to get used to is the terminology.  I have a wife.  She's Mrs. Russo.  I'm a husband.  *jumps up and down*   So cool.

    --New awesome thing: having breakfast together outside.

    --There's some other awesome aspects to this marriage thing that my wife says I'm not allowed to blog about.

    Will blog when able.

    "Not allowed"? Lame.
    Do an update video tour of the place when it's all settled in?

  • ChrisRusso

    @RaVnR - *grin*  Considering my in-laws read this blog, I wouldn't really want to blog about it on this blog either.

    Woah, I totally missed it!!! I've been gone for two weeks, so I've missed a lot. Congrats man!!!!!!!

    Yes, elbows get EVERYWHERE. Sometimes I kick Pen in my sleep, which is downright cruel, considering what a terrible and light sleeper he is.


    Disallow the cat from the bedroom (or at least the bed) if at all possible. Nothing is quite as irritating during lovemaking as a pet who insists on seeing what the humans are up to.

    I love your enthusiasm!  Take heart though - the elbow thing will soon sort itself out.  My hubby and I have been married for almost 14 years and I can't sleep if he's NOT there!

    I found out that a Queen sized bed is the BEST size of all.  The King tends to require too much too much time to warm up during the winter months; but the Queen is perfect for comfort and roominess.

    My son and his wife just got back from an Alaskan vacation!  I hope you enjoyed the Moose theme that they did in Seward and other places near the mountains.  Most of all, I love that *jumping up and down* thing!
    blesses the new union,

    Glad things are going so well for the two of you!  Best wishes for a long and very happy marriage! There's nothing else even remotely as rewarding in my opinion.  On the third of this month my wife and I celebrated forty-four years of married life.  Now in a short six more years we will, Lord willing, be celebrating our Golden anniversary!


    God's peace!

    after 27 years I was just pushed out of bed by hubby and a dog that wanted more room.  That is what happens when you work opposite shifts.  The dog takes your pillow .  Those king size beds really do spoil you.  Have a happy life.  Alaska is a beauitful place.  I would rather be up there any day of the week.  Dawn

    A certain Lancrastrian warrior could instruct you in the marital arts.  Look at what they're doing with their feet!  Wait... the t isn't supposed to come before the i, is it?  Did we order the wrong book?

    Home IS where the cat is.


    Our pillow stealing cat has now moved herself to the foot of the bed.  We found that a Queen sized bed accomodates the three of us perfectly.

    Happily married bliss is such a wonderful thing. It will all sort itself out in time I am completely with you on the Home is where the cat is adage

  • Monastro

    You forgot the parental disclaimer.

    We've spent 30 years on a full size bed with no problems, and we're not tiny people.

  • Itchy_tasty
    yay!

    Grats on the marraige dude


    Man, I moved in with my other half three weeks ago, and I know what you mean.  The sharing a bed, I sometimes move kind of clumsy, so as you say, the elbows etc do occur.  But the whole experience is cool, still find it a bit odd, been living with the same house mate for three years, but at the same time, IT ROCKS!!
