life and perhaps a little loneliness too.

The other day Steve and I were talking and he asked me what I missed the most about single life.
Most definitely I think it is just hanging out with friends whenever I wanted to. I've been missing that a lot lately.

Let me first preface this with saying that my husband is absolutely fabulous and is in no way controlling or gets jealous of me hanging out with my friends nor does he try to keep me from them.

That said I do miss my friends though. Marriage changes everything. Not being Miss independent anymore changes everything A LOT.
It's not like Steve and I have become total loners since we've been married but life has definitely kept us busy. It takes time doing twice as much laundry and cleaning - coordinating schedules between the 2 of us and then the rest of the world seems impossible sometimes.
We both work crazy hours and at the end of the day are exhausted and just want to sit at home and not be social. Or one of us wants to be social but the other one is tired but we don't want to go out without our other half.

I'm not trying to have a pity party here or anything and forgive me if it sounds like I am but I'm just starting to realize that maybe I'm a little lonely. My husband is great company but I'm realizing my need for others as well.

They say variety is the spice of life. Steve's like the lettuce in a salad with lots of different spices on it. Without the lettuce there really woudln't be any substance to the salad at all, but the salad also needs spices to help liven it up a little bit too.

Obviously the lettuce is by far the most important and vital part of the salad but that doesn't mean there's also no room for a little livening up from Mrs. Dash once in awhile too. :)
