So well here we go.. Post number 2. So have any of you ever realized that you change drammatically after you get married? Yeah sure there is the whole getting used to living with someone, learning to not leave your stinky socks in the middle of your room, or picking up after yourself cause you aren't living at home with your parents any more. While these are all drastic changes, it is nothing like what i am experiencing and even for that matter embracing...

Nesting. I am sure you have heard other terms for it, home improvment, honey dos, landscaping... Well I term it: Nesting. To define nesting is to come to a sudden realization that you are making your home into something that you and your significant other are planning on staying.. for a very long time! It is a different feel then going out and decorating an apartment. No this is the behavior where for no reason you completely understand, you are suddenly going thru the Home Depot, Lowes, and Menard's ads with a gusto, looking for that one porch swing or patio set... Its the urge to get up on a Saturday morning early and fight thru hordes of other couples for the best deal on potting soil, or edging stones. Remember weekend days where you would get up at 10 in the morning, yawn, sratch yourself, and then roll back over for another 30 minutes to 4 hours??? Or how about those wonderful saturday mornings spent trying to chase the remains of some evil liquid that flowed in far to great of quantities? Nope... instead you are up at the crack of 8 (yes that number does appear on an alarm clock on Saturdays despite rumors to the contrary) chasing down the latest home improvement project.

This nesting subject is dear to my heart, as my wonderful wife and i spent a romantic evening at the home improvment store. I never thought that going and buying patio furnature could be so romantic, or lead to such simple joys... I guess this is Life after... What?
