I now pronounce you Husband and...Is the kitchen dirty again?!

The metaphorical wedding bells rang for me on July 8th of 2011 (metaphorical since we didnt get married at a church building ;) ). That was almost a month ago. Since then I haven't done these things:
-kept the apartment and kitchen clean everyday
-cooked dinner every night and had lunches ready for my husband for work
-created a menu plan for each week
-gotten a new job
-been a good wife in general (still in the selfish premarriage state of mind)

what I have done is this:
-read way to much manga
-watched to many shows on hulu
-learned how to rely on a crockpot ;) perfect for keeping food warm until hubby gets home between 12am-6am

I need to work a lot to become the wife I want to be, the homemaker I've seen my mom be for years and never really paid attention too. I mean obviously its just something you automatically know how to do once you get married. Oh how wrong could I be! It takes a lot of hard work to get off your butt to clean and cook and keep the home in a nice order. I dont even have the excuse of kids yet, just the two of us (mostly me) making a mess.

This blog is my journey on the road of marriage, trying to become the kind of wife I have seen and admired in my mom. Admiration being the recent development of her wifely talents, never knew it was so much work ;)

  1. Admirable and quite attainable ambition Jenny. I've been a wife twice, so I do know how to clean house. Wait, that doesn't sound quite how I wanted it to. lol

    I find it best to clean as I go...

    Best of Luck! D
