The Newlywed Game {Take 7}: Holiday Edition!

It's back! It's back! And just in time for Christmas... :). That's right, I'm talking about the Newlywed Game linkup! Of course, linking up with Karla and Veronica for this special treat! 

1. Which Christmas would your spouse say was the best that you had together as a couple? 

Colten: All of them. Bri: He would probably say it was our first Christmas together - 2011. We were newly married and so in love! Of course, we're still in love now, but it was so magical that first year, with our first tree. Wait, this question is about his best Christmas? Oh ... my bad. 
2. What would your spouse say is the weirdest, or most unique tradition that your family does at Christmas?  Colten: Everything. My family is weird.  Bri: I'm not sure what he would say, as I'm not sure we do any weird or super unique traditions...hmm...
3. It's Christmas Day. You are looking all around and can't find your spouse! Finally you find them hiding in a closet, devouring which holiday treat?  Colten: Probably chocolate.  Bri: He'd definitely be devouring the cookies! That man loves to bake and loves him some cookies! 
4. It's your spouse's turn to pick out a Christmas movie. Naturally, they pick their favorite one. Which is it?  Colten: She loves Christmas and Christmas movies, so I don't know her exact favorite. Bri: I learned recently that he absolutely loves How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Fitting :). 
5. If your spouse had it their way...when would they put up Christmas decorations? Right after the turkey? Last minute? Not at all?  Colten: In January, and they would be up all year! {haha..no! I love Christmas, but I'm not one of 'those' people...} Bri: If it's up to him, he probably wouldn't put up any decorations! At the very least, though, it might just be last minute. 
6. What does your spouse think is the best Christmas gift you ever gave them?  Colten: All of them. Bri: I honestly don't know. I tend to get him some pretty practical things for Christmas ... except for this year! :) mwahahahaha.
7. Fa la la la laaaa, what is your spouse's go-to Christmas song?  Colten: I could not tell you.  Bri: I just got him the Duck Dynasty Christmas CD - so pretty much any song from there. He's already proclaimed that it will be tradition to listen to that CD every.single.year. Future children, I'm so sorry! 
8. On Christmas morning, what does your spouse wish is under the tree?  Colten: A million dollars. {wish is right!} Bri: This year, an Xbox One {but he knows better...}. 
9. What is one thing that your spouse absolutely has to do every year during the holidays?  Colten: Listen to Christmas music, decorate, and send Christmas cards. Bri: Drink egg nog! He loves that stuff! I can't stand it. 
10. What was the coolest gift your spouse got at Christmas as a child? (Hopefully, they told you this at some point in your relationship...otherwise, this one will have to be a lucky guess!) Colten: A whole bunch of sports gear. Bri: No clue! Maybe a toy gun or a new pair of boots?! I just love my redneck :). 

This was so.much.fun! Thanks, Karla, for bringing this baby back for the holidays! I hope everyone enjoys lots of time with their loved ones this holiday season. I know I will! 

Newlywed Game {Take 6}

So, it's been a while since Colten and I linked up for The Newlywed Game!  I think it's time for a little fun amidst all of the chaos this week has brought.       1. If your spouse could have one thing in the world (besides millions of dollars) what would it be? Bri: A really, really big truck.  Like, seriously lifted. Colten: It would be for her late Grandmas to have been at our wedding in person and for her to be able to spend more time with them.  (y'all. this man is so sweet and knows my heart)

2. Is your spouse an early bird or a night owl?

Bri: Definitely a night owl!  That man could stay up until 2am and sleep until noon every single day if I'd let him and he wasn't employed.  *sigh*

Colten: Oh she is definitely not an early bird - she is a night owl.
3. Does your spouse do anything weird or silly when they are nervous? If so, what? Bri: Not really.  He's pretty laid back and doesn't get nervous very often.  Maybe he will on graduation day! Colten: She really doesn't do anything weird or silly.  Her stomach just gets in knots.
4. What is the most spontaneous thing you have ever done as a couple? Bri: Wow, great question.  I honestly have no idea! Colten: Spend money when we were not even planning on it.
5. What makes your spouse different/special from any other person you know? Bri: He puts up with me!  I can be a lot to deal with sometimes (shocker, I KNOW!), but he doesn't even hesitate - he gives me the space I need in the moment and then comes to give me a giant hug! He understands me in a way that no one else does, and he's constantly showing his everlasting love for me.  Colten: She is my wife.  Everything is special about her. (again, this man just melts my heart!)
6. In the summertime, does your spouse most resemble a white snowman, a red lobster, or a very tan Pauly D?! Bri: Ahahahaha!  Well, in the beginning of summertime, he is most definitely a white snowman!  He then slowly turns to a red lobster - he's a fish and LOVES being in the pool - without sunscreen.  I'm working on him!  Colten: Well, she is a white snowman trying to become a tan one.
7. What is one thing that people may not know about your spouse? Bri: He is so loving and supportive.  Many people get the impression that he's a 'redneck' and that's all there is to him.  WRONG!  There are so many interior layers to him that not many people get to see.  It's definitely something special, and I'm so glad I'm peeling back all of those layers! :) Colten: She loves to read.
8. What is your spouse’s favorite holiday? Bri: I'm going to say Thanksgiving, because there is lots of food involved! Colten: Christmas is her number one holiday. (yes!)
9. There is a table full of food. Salad, meat, bread, desserts. Which dish does your spouse devour first? Bri: SALAD!  That man can tear up a salad like it's nobody's business.  I'm not complaining though, as it's better for him than devouring many other unhealthy things!  Colten: She will go for either the meat or the salad, whichever one she wants at the time.
10. I am so thankful that my spouse is ______________ because I am definitely not! Bri: I'm so thankful that my spouse is calm because I am definitely not!  Seriously, he does stress sometimes,but he just doesn't let most things get to him.  He doesn't worry when it's unnecessary.  Me on the other hand, I worry about everything all the time!  It's something I struggle with and am constantly working on.  And also something he constantly reminds me about - it's a bad habit! Colten: She is very book smart and knows how to study because I most definitely am not.       Also linking up here for 'the petites'.  Absolutely LOVE this new linkup! :)       

Also, be sure to stop by and check out our GIVEAWAY that ends next week!  That's right, only one more week to enter for a chance to win lots of great stuff! :)

 

While I'm Away...meet Cheltee!

 I have been totally nonexistant to blogland lately, and there's a very good reason!    VACATION!!!!!!   Woo hoo!!!!   Okay, it wasn't to some magical land with lots of fruity drinks and delicious eye candy, but it was still amazing!  I will share more on this later in the week, but in the meantime, please meet CHELTEE! :)

 

Hello Beautiful People 

Thank you to Bri for letting me take up a little space on her blog for this afternoon.

I am sure many of you have no clue who I am so let me introduce myself.

Hello, I am Cheltee and I blog over at Something About You & Me.

I am a 21 year old newlywed who lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her handsome husband and fur babies.

I blog about being a new wife, dealing with my plus size body, and all my crazy life events.

If you want to know even more about me, then take a joy ride over to my blog and check me out.

Now lets get started with the little helpful words I have in store for you today.

 "5 things you may need to know about your future or current husband."

Before I get started with the list please keep in mind this is strictly out of my own brain, and every boyfriend, fiance, husband, or male is different.

He loves to feel needed by his woman

Come on ladies let your husband fix the jammed closet door or that silly necklace that allows gets tangled.

Every man loves to help out his damsel in distress. If he feels like you need a helping hand, for gosh sakes let him help.

Let him impress you!

Heck there are even times that I will tighten a jar a little tighter just to ask him to help me open it.

Even at times when he looks makes those sighs, he is actually loving the fact that you asked.

Remember though men also love an independent woman so do not be to needy.

Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't show it

All women love to hear the words I love you or You're beautiful and guess what we deserve it.

However just because he doesn't tell you it every time he sees you doesn't mean he doesn't care.

Men tend to use their actions then their words.

Kissing you on the cheek before heading out to a night on the town.

Sending you roses just because its Tuesday

Wrapping his arms around you as he passes through the kitchen

Putting the toilet seat down

Yep all these things are simple little ways to show that he is thinking about you.

Some are louder then others but he is doing it.

So the next time you think he is being a little distant look around and see what little things he is doing.

Tell him straight up

I don't know about you but I would rather have someone tell me whats wrong then me having to pull it out of them.

Your Husband probably feels the same way.

When your angry and your man asks what is wrong, don't say I am fine because your not.

Tell him what is up, if you need some time to calm down.

Tell him!!

"Hey babe, I love you but I just need a moment. We can talk about it later"

Bam Wam thank you Ma'am

Also if you are ready to talk and he doesn't act like he is listening. Don't Freak out!

Sometimes men just need a few minutes to process the situation.

Am I saying all men listen to every word your saying, NO, but most do try.

Don't nag him about taking time to process what just happened.

Give him a chance to think about what the right thing for him to do is.

He does care how he looks and most importantly how you look

It is true your husband probably doesn't know the difference between Gucci & Escada but he does know the difference between Hot & Not. (most of the time)

I will be the first one to say that my man takes forever in the bathroom in the morning.

Heck sometimes I am ready well before he is in the morning.

It is because my husband cares about what he looks like and I am sure yours does too.

He knows what shoes goes best with his jeans and white t-shirt.

When shopping he isn't just picking out a shirt, he is matching it with those torn up jeans you bought him for Christmas three years back.

When he goes shopping for you, he brings you not because he doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

He brings you because he doesn't want to piss you off if he gets the wrong size.

When he tells you, Babe you look banging, its not because he is thinking about sex (well maybe)

Its because he is thinking about all the guys who are going to be jealous that your his woman.

So maybe do a little test with your man and see how much he really pays attention to what you wear.

Let him pick out your outfit for an event or night out, I am telling you

He may just surprise you.

Show him what you want

So you want your husband to be more affectionate but you don't know how to tell him?

Well everyone needs a little helping hand, no one is perfect.

Instead of waiting til that big argument you have almost every other month to tell him how much you miss the romantic side of your relationship.

Try this!

The next time he makes you dinner because you had a long day at work, even if it is carry out.

Tell him how much you love the fact that he shows he cares in little ways like that.

You are not only making him aware of the fact that you know he is doing a great job but you are showing him he has the ability to do something affectionate.

Small steps are good steps.

Well thank you for wasting two minutes reading my silly little list.

If it didn't help you or at least put a smile on your face then I am sorry, not sorry.

Now go check out my blog and show some love.

Thanks again Bri!

          Thanks, Cheltee! :)  Here's to hoping the ladies will remember these helpful hints in moments of STRESS!    Happy Monday, y'all!      

Newlywed Game {Take 5}

1.  Which does your spouse prefer? Summer or Winter Olympics?

Bri - I'm going to have to go with Summer, as that's his favorite time of year because he LOVES to swim!  I'm pretty sure he was a fish in another life ;).  

Colten - I think she likes them both ... or the summer ones (no...I love Winter olympics!)

2.  What advice would you give your 16 year old self, now with the knowledge that you have found and married "the one?"

Bri - RELAX!  Don't stress out over the little things, and cherish each day!  You think you have it rough now, just wait until the 'real' responsibilities kick in...yeah, that's right...the real world is SCARY!  But, you'll have an amazing man by your side, so don't sweat the 'love' thing ... it'll happen! 

Colten - Couldn't tell you because my 16-year-old self was wild and crazy.  Those were the days...(oh goodness...)

3.  What expectations did you have going into marriage? How have they changed?

Bri - I expected to love love and to live every day with my best friend by my side.  They haven't changed much...I still love love and I'm married to my best friend!  Seriously, I love every minute that we get to spend together and I wouldn't trade it for anything!  I know life throws you curve balls, and dodging them with my husband has been the ride of a lifetime.  No matter the situation, just talking about things with my husband makes me feel instantly better, so I'm all set for forever!  :) 

Colten - The expectations I had were to be married forever to my beautiful wife.  They haven't changed cause we are going to be married forever. (ok, good answer!)

4.  When engaged, what did your spouse most look forward to about being married?

Bri - Living the rest of his life as me for a wife :).  DUHH!  

Colten - Us being married and spend our lives together 

5.  What is your spouse's favorite meal that your prepare?

Bri - Homemade pizza!  I make it every year for his birthday. 

Colten - It's Chicken Parmesan

6.  What is your spouse's favorite form of exercise?

Bri - Weights.  I believe he likes lifting weights.  Yes, weights.  Or walking... ;).  Honestly, I have no idea obviously. 

Colten - I think it's Country Dance on the Xbox 360 Kinect (YES! so fun)

7.  What sport would your spouse most prefer to actually participate in? 

Bri - Football.  He talks about the days he used to play in high school, so I'd say that's a safe answer.  

Colten - Volleyball and softball

8.  What is the strangest food your spouse has ever eaten?

Bri - dog treats. Or, any time he takes everything (including other people's meals if we're out to eat and they're finished with their meal and have leftovers) and just mixes it all together into one meal.  GROSS. 

Colten - I couldn't tell you cause she eats a lot of strange things (I actually don't eat strange things)

9.  Is your spouse a country gal/boy or a city slicker?

Bri - COUNTRY BOY ALL.THE.WAY!  No brainer on this one :) 

Colten - She is a cross between a city slicker and a country gal - she wears those flip flops and shorts everywhere she goes, but she wears jeans when she wants to dress country (just because I wear flip flops and shorts doesn't mean I'm not country...there's a difference between 'country' and 'redneck' babe....come on)

10. Who is the "handyman" in your home? You or your spouse?

Bri - My spouse.  He's awesome. 

Colten - I am the handyman.  I handle all the tools.

This week, we didn't do so well!  Hopefully next week will be better :).  Happy Friday, y'all!

The Newlywed Game {Take 4}

Linking up with Karla and Veronica again this week for the Newlywed Game! 

1.  Who does the laundry in your home, you or your spouse? Any good stories?

 Colten does most of the laundry, as he's home more often than I am.  I do a load or two every now and then, though. 

I do the laundry because she works two jobs, along with the rest of the house chores.  (and it means the world to me!!!)

 

2.  If your spouse had to eat at one restaurant for the rest of their lives, what would he or she pick?

 Olive Garden.  That man can eat SO.MUCH.SALAD it's ridiculous.  And he loves their pizza for some odd reason!  He seriously will never order anything but pizza there.  

 

I would prolly say pok-e-jo's or subway eat fresh - she loves those places.  

 

3.  Are you or your spouse better at cooking? Any good stories?

 I am better at cooking!  He does it more often, but give him a difficult or lengthy meal to make, and it's pretty funny.  Hmm, good stories... He tried to set fire to our oven at our last apartment.  It gave our poor dog PTSD for months!  He hears the sound of something sizzling on the stove and immediately freaks out.  Poor little guy!  

I'm good at cooking.  I do most of it because she works two jobs.  I'm off or at home more, so it makes more sense.  Have you ever made BBQ sauce with your feet?  I have hahaha.  (oh my gosh...the BBQ sauce!  he seriously made it with his feet...crazy, crazy night!)

 

4.  Which one of you is more concerned about their "fashion"?

 Definitely, 100%, hands down ME.  That man never gives any thought to what he's wearing! 

Umm, she is, duh.  She is a WOMAN - they're all like that.  Me, just give me a pair of jeans, a sleeveless shirt, a pair of boots, and my favorite rebel hat and we're good to go.

 

5.  Ideally, if you don't have them already, when does you spouse want to have children?

 He wants to have them already, but knows that we need to be way more financially stable first.  Ideally, within the next few years I'd say.  

We would love to have them now but financially can't afford them.   (he's so smart haha. and yes, I know that you never really can afford kids...)

 

6.  Who planned dates when you were dating? And what was one of your favorites?

 We didn't get to go on a lot of actual dates when we were dating.  It was a long distance relationship, and I'd usually just go to Yorktown to visit him and we'd just hang out.  Those moments were priceless though!  One of my favorites was the first time we really met.  I drove down to see him and we went to a tractor pull in the nearby town.  That night, we stood out by the car for FOUR HOURS just talking about everything.  Time flew by...

 

It's hard to say because I didn't have a vehicle.  If I'm thinking right, she did.  Mine was all of them, but my favorite one was when me and her were with my best friend or 'my brother from another mother'.  We were in his truck and Bri and I were making out in the back seat and all of a sudden he yelled, "Look, it's a UNICORN!!!"  We just busted out laughing!  Good ole times, good ole times.  (that was so hilarious!)

 

7.  What's been the toughest part of being a newlywed?

 The toughest part has been the finances.  We didn't really have a budget or a plan prior to getting married, and then we combined accounts, which pretty much forced us to start budgeting.  However, the system our parents use and we now use is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. and is a lifesaver!  But we get through anything and everything, so it's all good :). 

Nothing really because we get through everything together. (good answer babe!)

 

8.  Who is the best with the finances?

 We both have gotten way better with the finances.  It's pretty mutual - neither of us is the only one that budgets or pays bills.  

Umm we both are. 

 

9.  Who is the strict one?

 Neither of us are very strict.  We're pretty laid back and don't really keep the other from doing something or pursuing something...  We try to be strict with money though, which is hard! haha

Neither one of us.  I think, anyway. 

 

10.  What will you plan to do for your first anniversary? Or if you've already celebrated your first anniversary, what did you do?

 We both had to work that day, so we just stuck with simple and went out to eat.  It's the quality time that matters anyway!  Then, we came home and ate the top of our wedding cake that had been sitting in the freezer for a year.  That thing was soooo disgusting!!!  I would never recommend it to anyone.... gross! 

We went to our favorite restaurant and ate at Olive Garden.  (yep!)

 

The Newlywed Game {Take 3}

Linking in for today's Newlywed Game! 

**I want to apologize in advance for some of my husband's answers - he answered them at around midnight last night on very little sleep...at least that's what I'm using to justify some of these answers haha!  Just keep that in mind and we'll leave it at that...  :).  I also 'un-rednecked' some of his answers for your reading benefit.**

one: In your opinion, who has the better in-laws? You, or your spouse? I think he does.  Our parents (all of them) are always supportive, but my parents have been such a huge part of us being where we are today, including financially!  And they paid for our wedding!  Thanks mom and dad!    She has the better in-laws.  I think that's how it's being worded.     two: Who decided on the wedding song for your first dance? What was it?  I kind of did (oops!).  He wanted something totally non-first-dance-worthy.  I've always wanted Shania Twain's 'From This Moment On' duet with Bryan White.  He agreed and that was that!  We both did but I do not remember the song.  Wait, I think it was 'Then They Do' - I may be wrong, I'm sorry babe (Yeah, that song was the mother-son dance... Reading his answer kinda made me sad... But I have to keep in mind that he was pretty intoxicated and let it go.  I love you babe!   *at least he apologized*)   three:  Which song would you say is your spouse's theme song & why? Umm, I dunno!  Probably Colt Ford's 'Dirt Road Anthem'.  He gets pretty upset when people say they like Jason Aldean's song, 'Dirt Road Anthem'.  He sets them straight as to whose song it really is!  Haha.  'Thrift Shop' haha.  Just kidding.  I really couldn't tell you because I don't know any songs she listens to.  (He really doesn't - it pretty much changes weekly!)   four: What is the first thing your spouse takes off when they come home from work?  His boots.  Those things are monstrous!   Her shoes because we don't allow shoes on the carpet.  (yes, sir!)   five:  Fill in the blank.  When it comes to ______ , I definitely wear the pants in this relationship, but when it comes to _______ , my spouse definitely wears the pants.  I wear the pants when it comes to our finances.  I refuse to be living paycheck to paycheck forever.  We're getting so much better, it's awesome!  He wears the pants when it comes to all things technical.  He's pretty good at it, and I am definitely not.  I'm forever asking him to fix something or help me unplug and plug something in (gaming consoles and that sort of thing).   When it comes to everything, I definitely wear the pants in this relationship, but when it comes to money, my spouse definitely wears the pants.  (thanks babe...haha. someone has a high opinion of himself!)   six:  What is one thing you could do that would make your spouse the happiest person in the world? Cook dinner, clean the house, do laundry, take the dog out all weekend...  He's had to do a lot of the housework over the past year since I'm working two jobs, and I know he hates it.  I'm sorry, love!  But you're amazing at it and I'm very grateful for your sacrifice!   Nothing, because I already make her the happiest person in the world.  (this is true...isn't he so romantic? lol)   seven:  What is the most unusual thing you ever found in your spouse's pocket/purse? Hmmm.... I'm not sure.  He was walking around with a paper towel in his pocket the other day, which I remember thinking was strange.   There ain't no tellin.  Half the time, I think her and Mary Poppins are cousins because you will find the most random things.  I guess I would be surprised if I pulled a chair out of it.  (okay, this man thinks he's funny...haha)   eight:  In your opinion, does your spouse communicate better with talking, touching, or eye contact?  Eye contact.  He's getting MUCH better at talking though!  We're working on the touching (PG of course people), as it is my love language!  It would figure that he's not good at the thing I want most (hand-holding, etc.)  Talking.   nine:  What would your spouse ideally want your current/future children to do for a living?  Mechanics or something probably really weird.  He thinks he's funny when we talk about future children...little does he know that we will NOT be naming any child 'Bobby Sue' or 'Billy Joe'.   Be like their father - a redneck - and teach them how to live off the land.  (yeah, no.  sorry babe...good joke though! *rolls eyes*)   ten:  Keeping this as PG as possible... if you were blindfolded, and need to pick your spouse out of a crowd, what would you search for?  His laugh.  Most definitely his laugh!  Seriously, I need to record it and post it some day, because it's hysterical.  It's also a common 'fun thing' to do at both of our parents' houses.  We make a game out of it, and most often can get him going without even touching him!  Pretty priceless.   Well, I'm blindfolded, so I would have to go with sound because your other senses are heightened.   I would listen for her voice, but that would be hard because you're in a crowd and someone could sound the same as her.  Hell, I'm blindfolded and can't see anything, I would just start feeling around, maybe I might find her and I might not.  (wow.  welcome to the mind of my husband, people!)  

Our {Valentine's Day}

Yep, it's LOVE month!  It's the time that all of the happy couples swoon over each other and stress over the *perfect* gifts.  It's the time when all of the single people are grossed out to the max at every single 'couple' they see or hear about.  It's the time that I reflect on my MR and I's relationship thus far. 

Every Valentine's Day has been different for us these past 3 and a half years.  Our schedules are so sporadic that we just never know where we'll be or if we'll even be together.  We've made it work so far and will continue to do so year after year.  It's what we do best!  This year was no exception.  And now you're thinking, what do you mean, 'was'?  That's right, we celebrated our Valentine's Day yesterday afternoon.  This week is actually a very busy week for us, and Monday afternoon was the only time I would be home (I work both jobs today, tomorrow, and Thursday, and Friday I'll be headed out of town after work).  I should probably also take this time to explain that the MR had to go to class within 10 minutes of me getting home at 4:30.  So, our Valentine's Day lasted a whole TEN MINUTES.  And it was an awesome ten minutes!

He greeted me in the garage as soon as I pulled in.  And he was holding a dozen roses, specially wrapped and all!  Now, he knows I'm a sucker for roses!  I know it's a cliché, but I love them!  He had 6 pink and 6 red - so adorable.  He gave me a giant hug and told me just how much he loved me and how much I meant to him.  Then he walked me upstairs, helped me get the roses in a vase with water, and then he was on his way to class. 

He's so adorable - and I love him so much!  Quirky qualities and all!

End of Valentine's Day.  Or so I thought... 

He is usually in class until 10pm, which means he doesn't get home until 10:30.  He surprised me and was home at 9 last night!  :)  I was one happy girl!  He watched my girly shows with me and we just spent great quality time together.  It really was perfect.  I know it wasn't anything huge or glamorous, but I'm a simple girl.  I don't need to be waited on hand and foot or showered with expensive gifts.  It's always been 'the little things' that mean the most to me - a concept I'm continually trying to get my MR to understand.  He's coming along, though ;).

So, another Valentine's Day is in the books, and it was perfect.  We do have 'small' plans for Thursday, but I won't be getting home until 9:30pm and he has to be at work the next morning by 5:00am, so he'll most likely be sleeping already.  We'll see!  Regardless of how Thursday works out though, I'm very blessed to have such an amazing man in my life to share in the ups and downs thrown our way.  I'm truly thankful for our relationship and blessed to be in a very healthy and happy marriage.  We've survived year one of it, and it just keeps getting better and better!  

The Newlywed Game {Take 2}

1. What was it about your spouse that made you think they were 'the one'?

Bri: Dipping tobacco :(
Colten: I don't ever notice anything that much...oh, she snores!

4. How are you planning to spend Valentine's Day?
Bri: Simple night in - homemade pizza and movie night!

8. If your spouse one day told you that they are an ex-convict, how would you react?
Bri: I'd be a little freaked out to be honest!  But I'd definitely want to know what he did...
Colten: 'Ok. You aren't going back to jail are you?'

9. Do you wish your spouse would stop doing a particular routine?
Bri: Staying up until all hours of the night playing video games.
Colten:  She doesn't really have a particular routine.  Unless she has a routine I don't know about!  (haha!)

10. Did the honeymoon go exactly as planned?
Bri: Yes! It was perfect.
Colten: Yeah, it was a honeymoon!
