Nearly 365 days have passed since we became Mr. and Mrs. Hanni.
The year has flown by, and yet it feels like we've been married for years already (in a good way!)
This week, I thought I would share some favorite moments and lessons learned over our first year of marriage.
Lesson #1: A dish is not a "meal" unless it has meat. Unless the dish is being served past 9:00 p.m., lighter fares are then accepted as a "meal." This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it is BIG DEAL to someone-ahem Kurtis-who shall remain nameless.
First grocery list! |
Grocery shopping and dishwashing can get old, so I try to not focus too much on the "un-fun" aspects of the job, but instead on the giddy grin of my husband when he and I try a new dish or sit down to a favorite.
That never gets old!

you are already learning the importance of serving without expectation. It's definitely worth it to learn the joys of serving your spouse and not to feel resentment for the un-fun part of the task. The best lesson I learned was that taking care of my family was my tangible way of showing love. Once I started viewing each meal, each load of laundry, each dish washed, and each floor cleaned as little acts of love it became less of a burden and more of a joy. You are on your way to becoming a wonderful homemaker.
