Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

As soon as Halloween ended, I wanted to put up our Christmas tree. Dave thought that was too early, and insists we wait until Dec.15th. So, we compromised (there's that word again!) and agreed upon Dec.1st. So, this Friday, our house becomes festive!

Let's take a survey.......When do YOU put up your Christmas Tree?

Harmony, or something like it

Hi Ladies! (assuming it's mostly ladies that read my blog)

Thanks for your valuable input on spouses appreciating each other's differences. I don't think I'll ever be a hard-core 'football chick' nor will I frequent local pubs yelling out hometown cheers. But, I took notice of Dave's favorite football team today and commented to him at lunch saying, "Hey, did you notice that John was wearing a Dallas Cowboy's hat in church today?" Dave nearly fell off his chair, surprised that I noticed. Yes Dear, I do take notice in your interests. I told him, "I still don't like football, but I can appreciate that you love it, so I try to take notice of the things you enjoy."

Besides, he cooked up a fabulous fondue dinner for MY friends last nite. Between him cooking and me cleaning the house for our company, it took us an entire day to prepare for the evening. But, in the end, it was a nice evening and it was really fun to be surrounded by friends. Well, MY friends. It just so happens that Dave likes them too. Well, ok...... 3 out of 4 ain't bad. The last one has verbal diarrhea, so Dave has to wear his 'patience cap' all nite. LOL! But noone's perfect anyways.

Opposites Attract???

Well, I deleted my previous blogs, for all you readers hoping to read a bit and chuckle. Seems that my hubby can't appreciate my humour and takes any topics related to football very seriously. I still don't feel his affection for football.

So interesting how they say that opposites attract. In fact, I said it in our wedding speech.
Yup, our interests are as contrasted as black and white. Or Winter & Summer. Or Football & Piano. Or Pearl Jam & Beethoven. How the heck does that happen?

Game Over

Well, the game and all the surrounding craziness is coming to an end! Life is slowly coming back to normal.

The Ying and the Yang

Newly Weds

Well, here goes my first attempt at blogging.....

David & I have been married 3 months....YAY! Life is good, and being married ROCKS! I just have 9 more Thank-you cards to send out and we should be done. Any advice for newlyweds like ourselves??
