Surviving the first year of marriage...

Well, we are almost at our 5 months point in the road here and I thought I would put up a marriage post.
First of all, my marriage is a bit different being that I am married to an LAPD Officer, which brings odd schedules and a certain amount of stress and danger.
I work a full time job myself and we really only see each other on his days off, which is every other day or so. We also have a few weekend days together each month. Other than that he works Watch 5 currently and leaves the house before 3:pm and returns home at 3:am that is if there is no Overtime. Court takes place at 8:30 am and can continue until 5:pm.
On days I work he is getting in bed a few hours before I get out so when I do see him he is sleeping.
I am gone from the house Mon-Fri 7:20am-7: 30pm.

So a few days’ weeks I have my “me” time which I enjoy and a few weekend days a month I get to myself. We will have lunch together before he goes to work on those days but otherwise I shop, talk to family, horse back ride and do my own hobbies, etc.
The evenings I have to myself there be only a few hours until bed. I have dinner, read, and workout and relax.

With no kids at the moment, or if all goes as planned, for about the next five or six years, this schedule works for us great. My husband is much more of a night owl type anyway.
Of course I am a part of some new marriage forums the same as I am a part of Police Wives forums.
We have built a budget, though still making adjustments. We agree on healthy eating and working out as well as organic living.
I am still trying to get him to learn to pick the socks up off the floor and am convinced that the part of the brain that tells them how is somehow removed upon saying “ I Do”.
I still get candlelight on his night to cook though…even if it is pizza.
I love my in-laws and could not have gotten luckier in that department with the whole family.

I can't get over the fact that I have a "Husband" and often tell him.. he make allot of jokes.
The comic strip CATHY went through the wedding plans and are now in marriage right along with us. This strip cracks me up and is so true and close to our reality!
