what the? i'm married!?

I still can't believe that I'm a married woman. it is 2 weeks to the day now of being married. that is so weird. there aren't a whole lot of new things, but heres a list of things I've noticed that are different now that I'm married:

1. my hubby is very clean and organized...I'm not always perfectly clean and organized. but I would like to be, so he's a good example.

2. having someone in the same bed as me makes it a little weird to sleep. i'm getting used to it now, but at first it was hard to get a good nights rest because when he would move then i would sort of wake up.

3. i'm living with a boy! i've been rooming with girls for the past 2 and a half years.

4. i am buying coffee creamer to help wake us up in the morning. just kidding, he is lactose intollerent, and he doesn't like soy dream, so he uses coffee creamer on his cereal. it doesn't have an extremely bad taste, but i'm definitely sticking to regular milk from the cow.

5. since he is so organized i see him folding his DIRTY laundry and putting it into the basket. i haven't exactly picked up that habit, but i have picked up his habit of separating the laundry into lights and darks as we put it into the dirty laundry basket. it really does make doing laundry easier.

6. i'm buying more food than normal. and whats with utah prices of food? milk costs $2.30? at least? i so like the rexburg prices better. milk $1.89. that was the good life i guess.

7. no internet in the apartment. i'm weeping inside.

8. old 70's furniture. not that its bad because i'd rather have a couch and chairs than nothing. but they just look funny.

9. i'm decorating my own place. i think i only decorated my own room a couple times growing up, so i'm pretty new at this. i'm trying to do cool stuff, but i haven't watched While You Were Out in a while, so i don't know if what i'm doing is cool or not.

10. last but not least, my new name is mrs. Brandt! thats so cool, but if you call that name while my back is turned i probably won't respond to it. i still need to get used to it.

so, do these things sound like normal things to get used to in a marriage? things will only get more different when we start having kids. but don't hold your breath, there is no honeymoon baby.
