She vs He, Part 3. Pest Control.

Yep, its about that time again.

She: fought jet lag for the first week being home.
He: had no idea how to handle a now nocturnal wife.

She: would get hungry in the middle of the night, with a belly still on China time.
He: would wake up sometimes to see her in the kitchen eating. At 3am.

She: would lay awake for part of the night.
He: had NO issues sleeping.

She: would swear she heard some kind of small creature crawling around their room.
He: would be asleep and not hear it.

She: woke him up in the middle of the night asking if he heard anything.
He: would tell her the sound was just her stomach growling and to go get a snack and go back to sleep.

She: KNEW it was not her stomach growling and once woke him up 3 times in a row when she heard the noise.
He: told her she was imagining it.

She: started to see certain small, black pellets around the house.
He: must have ignored them, because he said he didn't see any.

She: finally made her point enough by waking him up in the middle of the night that...
He: went and bought 4 traps and some poison and set them up.

She: went inside today and found a small gray mouse caught in a trap.
He: can now admit that she was right and it was not just her stomach growling.

She: left the mouse right where it was in the trap for him to take care of when he gets home from work.
He: has a pest to get rid of now.

She: can now say,

"I told you so, honey!"

 Yes, this really happened. Yes, he thought it was my stomach still on China time.

And Yes, I was RIGHT! :)

She vs. He Part 2

Yep.

5 days in and there's already MORE.

She: is a quick, efficient packer.

He: is still working on packing, 2 hours in.

She: likes to take her time packing and unpacking house stuff into closets.

He: gets into "go" mode for moving boxes and furniture.

She: packs quickly and chooses clothing and outfits without asking help.

He: ASKS. FOR. HELP. ON. EVERY. CLOTHING. ITEM.

She: had a little homesickness last night after leaving her parents' house.

He: has basically NO idea how to deal with the emotions of his new wife. And was therefore very confused.

She: is very good about folding and putting away camis.

He: was folding clothes and when he got to the cami, said "Can you come fold this thing? I don't know how."

She vs. He, Part 1

Well, I think its about time I resurface into the blogosphere!

Since we've been married for 3 days, I think it is time to share the vast amounts of knowledge I have gained about marriage in that time.

We're practically experts.

Note to reader: I am totally kidding. I hope you read the two above lines with sarcasm.

I would like to share the things I've learned in a little series I'm starting today called "She vs. He".

I plan on making this series about observations on things you don't know about the other person until you live with them!

She: gets tired more easily when loading up the trailer and wants to rest.

He: sets out to load the trailer and car and not stop until its perfect.

She: doesn't care as much about toothpaste foam drying on the sink until the next morning when it gets cleaned.

He: does.

She: apparently makes funny faces while brushing her teeth.

He: feels the need to point this out!

She: definitely prefers when he drives.

He: is a blanket hog.

She: likes to sleep in normal temperatures.

He: likes to open the windows, turn on the fan, and sleep in Arctic Tundra temperatures.

That's all I've got so far, but I'm sure there will be more soon!

Love,
The Newlyweds
