This morning in my boredom, I was reading random articles from msn.com and I came across this one titled "8 Things No One Tells You About Marriage." I'm not married, but I have been with Keith for over 3 years and I hope to marry him in the near future. The advice in this article can really pertain to any long term, committed relationship. It gave me some good advice and made me grateful for my wonderful boyfriend.
1. You will look at the person lying next to you and wonder, Is this it? Forever?
2. You'll work harder than you ever imagined.
3. You will sometimes go to bed mad (and maybe even wake up madder).
4. You will go without sex — sometimes for a long time — and that's okay.
5. Getting your way is usually not as important as finding a way to work together.
6. A great marriage doesn't mean no conflict; it simply means a couple keeps trying to get it right.
7. You'll realize that you can only change yourself.
8. As you face your fears and insecurities, you will find out what you're really made of.

About Me
- Lauren
- I am 27 and a graduate of Texas A&M University. I am the proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie class of 2004! I was born and raised in Arlington, Texas. I went away to college in 2000 and had the time of my life. I graduated from A&M with a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and moved back to DFW to begin my professional career in the marketing/direct mail business. In 2007 I decided to go back to school to try to get a second degree in design. Then life got in the way and I've had to put that on hold for a while. I'm currently working on becoming certified to teach junior high math. Hopefully come August I will be teaching in Plano, Richardson or Dallas. I live in Dallas and have a wonderful apartment with my boyfriend, Keith, and my three kittens, Ellie, Murphy, and Iggy. I enjoy traveling, going out to concerts or to see movies, bar hopping with friends, laying by the pool, Thomasville Hounds, shopping, cooking, decorating my new apartment, design, and sleeping.
