The Merging of the Households

As many of you may or may not know, on October 22, 2011, I married my high school sweetheart! We had a beautiful wedding on a BEAUTIFUL day in a beautiful church. The people were beautiful, the flowers were beautiful, and the ceremony was... beautiful. I was truly magical.

I figure that my first year as a married gal would be great blog material. I don't have much time to write right this moment, as blueberry muffins are in the oven and A is on his way back home with dinner. But, for the sake of blogging and trying to get back into my groove, I will journal what I did today.

I woke up to the sounds of a cat meowing outside of my bedroom. Its voice was scratching and shrill. I wanted to shoot it. When I opened my eyes, I discovered that it was none other than my beloved, waking me up. Before dawn. We have named the "cat" Sparkles, and I am currently setting out rat poison.

I pulled the covers over my head and put an arm around Polly and dozed off only to be woken by my brave hunter returning from his jaunt through the woods at an unspecified time after sunrise.

Fast forward a few hours later, and my new mother-in-law and I traveled a great distance to collect my gifts from a Pampered Chef shower that some of her girl friends were kind enough to give in my honor prior to the wedding. With five LARGE boxes in tow, we returned to the cabin in the woods that is now my home to look at the loot. Once we unwrapped all of the gadgets and whatnots, I realized that my new pretties needed somewhere to go.

Enter: A's bachelor kitchen. I had already done some organizing, but I really had to do some creative shifting today.

Anyway, I rearranged, organized and threw out until all of my things had a home in which they were best suited and most beautifully displayed. I am proud. So proud!

The point of this post really was to tell you what all he had in his cabinets. I mean, seriously. I don't understand men and their grocery shopping habits! No cereal, no drinks, no snacks! The combination is absolutely fantastic. Here we go!

6 cans of green beans
14 cans of corn
2 cans of tomato soup
2 packages of tuna helper
lots of koolaid
lots of packages of seasonings (those may or may not be my fault)
Half-eaten package of oyster crackers
6 bottles of hot sauce
4 bottles of italian dressing
4 large cans of baked beans
9 cans of tuna of unknown expiration dates
lots of old bread
2 jumbo containers of Butt Rub


...and more hot sauce.

I love him. And his weird pantry.

Good evening! Keep pestering me and maybe I'll crank out some good material in the near future. 

I'm talking to you, Erica.
