Today marks 2 years since Adam and I said I do! I can’t quite believe how that’s happened! It only seems like 5 minutes ago since we were standing at that alter exchanging vows!
Year 2 of our marriage has been pretty amazing as our 2 became a 3 and we extended our family 💖 Last night we had a lovely night out to the cinema our first night out without Erin... I won’t lie.. I spent the entire time thinking about her but I think the good thing about going to the cinema was that I couldn’t keep checking my phone or texting my mum. I knew she would be ok as she was with my mum and dad but hey.. a Mummy can twitch eh!
So what have I learnt during my second year of marriage?
- There is nothing better than being at home and cuddling up on the couch! I spent a whole chunk of this year of our marriage being pregnant which meant I didn’t always feel like getting dressed up and going out.. but you know what.. that’s ok! Sometimes cuddling up on the sofa with a movie or binge watching your favourite TV show together is even better
- That said it is still nice to go out and enjoy time together just the 2 of you! I’m still a big believer in enjoying date night! Just because your married doesn’t mean you should stop enjoying this time together
- Be grateful for each other. No matter how busy your day is always take that moment to have a kiss or a cuddle. Adam and I have developed a new routine where we take Erin to bed after her bath and while she is falling asleep on my chest we cuddle up as a 3 on the bed and we do a crossword together - sounds cheesy but this is a lovely part of my day.
- Marriage is about compromise. Sometimes it’s nice to let him have the football on the TV because even though you have no interest whatsoever he does. Last year for our anniversary I got Adam tickets to see Jools Holland even though I don’t really enjoy his style of music but you know what.. we went and it was a lovely night out together - even though I didn’t enjoy it as much as him, seeing his face light up with how much he enjoyed it was worth it
- It’s important to dream together. Last year Adam and I brought our first house together. I say first house.. I mean forever home (cause I’ve told Adam ain’t no way I’m moving again - it’s too stressful 😂) so we have spent a lot of time this year dreaming about what we want to do to the house.. extensions.. loft conversions. Plus having Erin has helped us to dream about other family wishes.. having more children, wanting to take her/them to Disney when they are old enough, family holidays - sometimes it’s lovely to just sit and dream about the future together
I’m so excited to see what this next year brings... in year 1 we brought a home, in year 2 we had our daughter.. let’s see what year 3 brings! Adam says a lottery win - although I did remind him he needs to actually start playing the lottery to win 😂
