Marriage is...

...Like synchronized swimming.


...the discovery of just how much toilet paper YOU use! No one else. Because you are the only girl now.


...Like speaking swaheelee when you don't even know how to spell it and your roommate is speaking latin.


...Like trying to exit a door that has a latch on both sides and your darling re-locks it every time you unlock it because the more you try to come out the funnier it gets to him until you're both laughing and you can see the twinkles in his eyes when he finally swings it open : )


...LOVING your morning dose of chocolate milk because he made it for you and it's perfect and perfectly delicious.


...Stealing all the covers, and losing all your pillows.


...Snapshots of perfection blowing by your face so fast sometimes you miss them. But you catch as many as you can and staple them to the walls to watch the best scene you've ever witnessed.


...Getting super excited to come home and go absolutely nowhere.


...Like rowing crew.


...Constantly remembering someone other than yourself.


...Like balancing with a giant on top of a pencil point.


...Realizing your own inexperience and hopelessly flawed nature and then realizing you can become wonderful together.


...Perfect. Like a dance. Difficult, requiring hours of patience, questions, listening, practice, stumbling, remembering, learning.


...Laughing and giggling and snorting and running around the house screaming and rubber band wars and late night chats and snuggling and tricking a giant into taking a nap with you and talking in your sleep and being a sassafrass and being so in love even if you're angry or tired or frustrated or happier than butterflies with mangoes.


...Life and love however you make it.
