three months already

Besides neglecting my fiercely devoted readers, I have been busier than I have ever been in my whole life. I am now officially Mrs. Daniel J. Cogburn. That in itself has made me busy. I thought I should share some things I have already learned from marriage.. (sorry, but I am warning you in advance that this list may be long.)

1. You must sleep with one eye open, you may get elbowed in the face and a bloody nose from a startled husband.
2. Shave your legs every day. 
3. Pick your battles wisely, you never know what you are getting yourself into.
4. Be cheesy and ridiculous, even if you have to submit yourself into losing a wrestle fight.
5. Don't ask him to shave his beard because it happens to make him feel more manly.. so then they keep it. (lose-lose)
6. Tell him his beard looks great and he will shave it! (reverse psychology!)
7. Help him drink more water instead of soda, even if it costs you a few minutes of glaring.
8. Make the bed-always!
9. Allow him time to speak and really tell you what's on his mind. He will love you for it.
10. Let him know that you appreciate everything he does- even the little things.
11. Let him wear the pants even if they have superhero's on them.
12. Roll him over gently when he snores so you don't get hit again.
13. Don't stop kissing. like ever.
14. Fight over things that matter and make sure the fight ends with a kiss and a hug.
15. Make sure you wear your wedding rings at all times, you'll feel naked and weird without it.
16. Find your favorite treats and make them together..then complain that you are both getting fat.
17. Assure your wife she is never fat.
18. Give your husband feet rubs, especially when he doesn't ask!
19. Greet each other kindly each day and uplift each other when their spirits are down.. My husband is best at this one!
20. Be loyal to one another and always tell the truth. Especially when talking about how we can be better at marriage whether physical, emotional and spiritual.
21. Be each others' cheerleader and rejoice with them in successes.
22. Make sure to put your phone away when spending time together.
23. Clean and cook as often as you can.. together! It's fun when we listen to music and dance around the house. We also love when it is all done!
24. Share the covers and be aware when you are hogging the bed.
25. Laugh.
26. Be a team and a team player!
27. Take pictures and frame them.
28. Make holiday traditions and spend time with family. Also, love your in-laws!
29. Listen to Frank Sinatra in the car when you can't agree on a station.
30. Collect Disney Movies and watch all the special features!
31. Never give up. 

Well here you have it, only a smidgen of what I have learned! But as you can tell, I love him to pieces and have a great teammate to be with me throughout my life! I couldn't have picked a better person to win with forever!
I love you Daniel!
