The married life

So this blog is really similar to my journal in a lot of ways. Really the only difference between them is that this has more entries from me in it than my journal does. Considering this is my second blog post of all time, that should tell you something about my journal habits.

Still, its now almost 2 months since I've been married. I even managed it before I hit 32 years old. I'm fairly sure my parents thought I wasn't going to pull that off, so I'm all about defying expectations.

My wonderful wife Emily has already posted lots of pictures. Head on over to her facebook page if you want to get the complete rundown, as she told you.

The married life is excellent. I especially love that Emily and I get to begin establishing all of our own traditions for our family. We talked a bit about that in FHE on Monday night (one of those great traditions you can start even when you're engaged. I highly recommend that), we get to begin establishing these traditions like family prayer, family scripture study, FHE, and others before our children are even here.

Speaking of traditions, when Emily told me to blog tonight (yes, thats really the only reason you're getting this post. You can thank her later), she said I should blog our weekly roast dinner. I'm pretty new to this blogging thing, but I'm not sure that people want to read an entire blog post about our roast dinner. Except its pretty awesome, so maybe people want to read about it in a "Oh, I wish I got to live that kind of life" sort of way. Kind of like people who watch those TV shows about really big mansions of the rich and famous, only my roast is much better. The only real problem about it is that Emily and I disagree how much A1 sauce is good for it. She'll eventually understand that yes, the whole bottle really is a legitimate way to cook roast (just kidding, I really don't put that much on, but I love A1).

On a serious note though, I have discovered one secret to getting really good roast. Don't cook it in a crockpot. Use an aluminum roaster. One of those big cast aluminum ones with the lid. I use to always cook it in a crockpot. Never again, they just turn out so much better in the roaster.

But really though, married life is good. I'm forever thankful that I have found my wonderful wife Emily, and that we get to begin this new phase of our lives together, establishing great traditions early in our marriage to benefit us later on.
