Wish List

Today is mine and Bryce's seven year anniversary. Some days it feels like it's been 7 1/2 years. I thought I would compile a list about things that I know now that I wish I would have known all those years ago.

• Bryce is not in the least bit swayed by feminine tears.



• He's really great at dishes.



• He lacks vision, so I should just stop asking if it's a good idea and just do it, and then prepare myself for his reaction.



• He is not a good phone conversationalist.



• He is surprisingly competent at home improvement things.



• He can work magic with popcorn and popcorn seasonings.



• Bryce has an interest in cooking soup and bread, which only recently surfaced.



• Our house is happiest when we are both patient and well rested and the kids are all in bed.



• Vacations revolve around adult naps.



• I wish I would have known that we were going to have three girls. I don't think I could have prepared myself, but it would have been worth a try.



• Bryce loves a good bargain at an estate/garage sale, just like I do.



• Just because you don't understand what someone does, doesn't mean you love them any less.



• The best line "what, in our history together, makes you think.......?"



• You should be supportive of the other person and their hobbies, even if it deals with combing a stinky pool of rain water for lost disc golf discs or using bent spoons to hold back curtains.



• An individual should accept another's limitations, like meatloaf and cleaning up throw up aversions or bath time.



• It's not that big of a deal if your spouse falls asleep during your labor, really it's not, it'll hardly ever come up.....



• Pet names are over-rated.

Bryce, what can I say? I hope all of our girls grow up to marry someone just like you. I'm sure they'll (I'll) survive to see that day. You're the love of my life.
