Learned Wisdom

I promise I will get back to all of the updates soon, but I want to take a break from all of that. Today Carson and I have been married for a month. Yay! In that time we have learned some valuable lessons, so we thought we should share them.

1. Never put a large bed against a wall - that side of the bed will require the moves of a rhythmic gymnast to make. Moves neither of us have. 
2. Buy a plunger before it becomes absolutely necessary. And before your local Target runs out of them. And before it's Sunday. 
3. Objects displace water. Very large objects displace a very large amount of water. 
4. In a snow storm, many objects - mattresses, large pictures, snowboards - can catch the wind and act as sails. Beware. Especially when going up stairs. 
5. People buy wedding gifts from very....um...unique places. Of course we are grateful for any gift we get. 
6. Ikea is a great place to buy projects to keep husbands quiet (or swearing) for hours. 
7. Even with all of the rope, manipulation, and imagination in the world, our sectional will never fit into or on top of my mom's Honda Pilot. Bummer. 
8. Girls don't cry to all chick flicks. And they don't appreciate it when boys pretend to cry "for emotional support."
