Last night, I placed a double chocolate brownie (along with a napkin and a tall glass of milk) on the counter for Husband. As he hugged me and kissed my forehead (as a thank you), I think we were both reminded of our love for each other. (Not that we forgot, but as life passes by in a blur, it’s easy to not think of it momentarily.)
We are now in our house–well, for the most part–and it feels so wonderful. Though we had our own apartment together before we got married, we haven’t lived alone since we got married. (And yes, I just realized how crazy that is!) We cooked dinner together last night in our very own kitchen. Husband grilled while I made French fries and baked the brownies for dessert. It was soothing, really.
The past two mornings, since we’ve been in our house, I’ve been able to ready myself for work in peace. I’ve been able to walk around the house in my pajamas, my hair a complete mess, while the light began to peek through the windows. (Before, I made sure I was fully clothed before I stepped foot out of our bedroom [at my in-law's house], just in case my brother-in-law was in the hallway.) I feel lighter, happier; I can see that Husband does, too.

Aw, I’m so happy for you two! I remember that feeling of first having your own space and it’s such a sweet one. We’ve been living together for almost 4 years now and it’s still so wonderful to have that time together. Enjoy!
Sounds like a great way to wake up
What a sweet post.
It’s amazing how liberating living on your own can feel, isn’t it?
I’m glad you two are adjusting and loving it!
Also, please send a double chocolate brownie my way, please. Sounds perfect right now. =)
I love how happy you sound!
Congrats on the new place, and it being all yours!
this is so great, and good for you! i can sense a feeling of accomplishment, as it should be
I love days like that with the Hubby especially where we can be ourselves.
I felt the same way about having to be fully clothed before walking out of my room when my brother-in-law was living with us for a few months. Sad I had to feel that way in MY OWN APARTMENT.
That’s great! I completely know how you feel, I love having my OWN space with Eric. It’s not that I HATE it when we have family over, but it does get annoying after awhile because I like to have our own space where I can walk around in my undies and not have to worry about cleaning up anyone elses mess or stepping on anyone’s toes!
Isn’t cooking together one of the most relaxing things ever!!
Oh, that’s lovely
That’s wonderful Megan! I would be so happy if someone made me brownies. I should work on that.
I totally understand that “lighter, happier” feeling. I’m so glad for you, love!
