22 Benefits of Being Married

I have been sick the last few days so there hasn't been any blog posts. Sorry about that. Because I missed the scheduled posts for the last 2 days, I'm replacing a throwback Thursday with the one that was supposed to be posted on Tuesday!

That being said, I find there is a lot of negativity around being married these days - especially towards young people getting married. I found this article over on the Inspired Bride so I thought I would share it here for some fun! 

22 Benefits of Being Married 

1. You’ll have a live-in spider killer.

Seriously. When I see a disgusting bug, I put a cup on it and wait for Brandyn to get home and get it.

 

2. Someone will always be around to reach the top shelves in the kitchen.

 

3. You’ll live longer; studies have shown married couples live longer.

4. You’ll always get a Valentine’s Day present… and an anniversary present!

Double the presents!!! Who doesn't love presents.

5 Your husband is like a built-in toe warmer waiting on the other side of the bed.

 6. You will always have someone to share your deepest secrets with. 

7. You’ll have a dishes-doing partner… and a dance partner.

8. There’s always someone to wake up if you have a creepy dream.

9. You’ll have someone to support you in all things.

10. Having someone there to bring you soup when you’re sick.

11. Starting a family with the man you adore.

12. Having a husband is like having a handyman on-call 24-hours a day.

I will never have to pay for an electrician

 

13. Gaining a whole extra family that you’ll love and who will love you.

14. Knowing that someone always has your back.

15. You’ll have a Sunday morning newspaper-reading partner.

16. He’ll be your partner in crime.

17. It’s nice having someone who knows you as well as you know yourself.

18. Two heads are better than one, especially when you’re coming up with excuses for staying home from work, getting out of a prior obligation, etc.

19. You always have a date for Saturday night.

20. Someone is always there to share laughs with.

21. Looking forward to your husband walking in at the end of the day.

22. You’ll have someone to try new recipes on… and someone to tell you how your butt looks in those jeans!

See it is not so bad! Keep in mind, you obviously don't have to be married to enjoy these perks either!

A Christmas Challenge!

Brandyn and I have created a little video. And of course, Gizmo and Kitty make an appearance! 

Also, I am going to be getting more frequent with videos but not all of them are going to be posted on my blog so make sure you subscribe to my channel if you want to see more fun vlogs that I make :) 

Enjoy!

50 Facts

I was tagged to do a 50 facts about me video, so here it is!

Hope you enjoy!

Two Lies and a Truth: The Reveal

Last week I posted a little game to get everyone active...

... about 3% of viewers commented on that post. Oh well. At least some of you felt compelled to. Here are the results!

1. When I was a child, this line came out of my mouth:

a. "I'm full....but I can have dessert because only my dinner compartment is full... not my dessert compartment" 

b. alarm goes off , "I'm already awake stupid machine!"

c. Mom is on the phone planning a date and I want to talk to him, "Hi. Do you think you wanna marry my mom? .... Because I want you to get my mom a baby. Oh. Okay. Bye."

2. My favourite thing to do as a kid was:

a. play barbies

b. ride my bike

c. play basketball 

3. When I was a kid I wanted to be this when I grew up:

a. an architect - I still would be but I found out in grade 5 that I was horrible at geometry and then in grade 8, it wasn't getting any better so I had to get up that dream

b. a lawyer

c. a doctor

4. In high school, I was on/in:

a. the soccer team

b. vocal jazz - I tried to be on the soccer team but it confliced with this.... 

c. nothing. I was totally lazy

5. In college, the job I had was:

a. tutor

b. I didn't have a job - I did not have a job! I was not lazy haha I was too busy with school and doing practicum while in school. It was like working full time and going to school full time... at the same time

c. worked at Walmart

6. In high school, a classmate once pegged me as:

a. the best dressed

b. the cranky one

c. the one who knows all the gossip - Yep.. I always knew everything 

7. As a child, I thought I could be in a talent show for:

a. singing - like every other child

b. dancing

c. comedy

8. It took me this long to be able to drive on roads that had traffic:

a. 3 weeks

b. 1 day

c. 2 months - Nobody guessed this actually. For the record I was learning standard so yes it took me a while to be able to drive in traffic without stalling. 

9. I originally went to university to do this:

a. be an architect

b. be a lawyer - Love law! I found my law class so interesting! But.. I didn't want the lifestyle of a lawyer (always working and stuff) and I didn't want to go to school for 8 years so I ultimately switched it up. 

c. be a teacher

10. I consistently do this wrong no matter how often I'm corrected:

a. use "half time" for every break period in sports - Soccer is my main thang... 

b. say "I seen" instead of "I saw"

c. set up the computer wires in the back

So anyway the person who guessed the most right with a whopping 9/10 right was...

Jolene!! Congrats Jolene. I have nothing to give you for your efforts except this recognition (maybe when you guys start making me money I can have some cool giveaways ;)) 

Two Lies and a Truth

Ok! So I've got some quiet readers and that's ok. I don't really make my blogs that interactive but today is different. Today I am playing that little game: Two Truths and a Lie.
