Three

Today Adam and I celebrate our third wedding anniversary. We were talking the other day that three years of marriage actually sounds like we're grown ups. Anything before three and you're basically still a newlywed. So, year three. We now know EVERYTHING!

Ok, maybe not everything. But here are some things I do know...

1. With Adam having a steady paycheck and loving his job, life is a lot more fun.

2. I stopped being neurotic about our budget spreadsheet (re: I stopped doing it altogether) and we set up a new budget plan (80% of paychecks go into joint, 20% go into our own separate accounts where we can do as we please). Now I can't yell at Adam for eating at China Dragon four times a week, because I don't see/care where he's wasting his chunk of change. 

3. Adam still puts up with me. (Y'all, I really don't know how long this one will last. Sometimes A lot of times, I look at him and ask "Why in the world do you put up with my random fits of anger that are usually directed at you?" This was a real conversation last week...)

Me: Did you take those coats into work to donate them?
Adam: No, that's on Fridays.
Me: But it is SO cold out, people are going to FREEZE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S ON FRIDAYS? I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO DONATE THEM BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE WENT INTO THE NEGATIVES.
Adam: No, you didn't. If you had said that, I would have told you our company only does it on Fridays.
Me: WHATEVER. I'm still pissed because you didn't put away the laundry or do the dishes or clean up your side of the closet. (Side note: Since when is Adam a stay-at-home wife? I'm glad we both have the ability to laugh at ourselves me minutes later... Sometimes.)

4. I still put up with Adam. (That's because he's cute and funny...and deals with my fits of psychosis.)
5. We love and support each other a whole lot.

Happy anniversary, lover boy! Here's to a lifetime more...

UPDATE
Check out this amazing meal we made on our actual anniversary. Adam made the steak and lobster (yum!) and I slaved over asparagus and Rice-A-Roni (haha, yeah right). It was such a fun little night, just the two of us.
