Married life

This week has been the ultimate week of being married, eating at home, bed before 11, and some tv watching. It's not just the rain but I think we are both just tired of running around all the time.

Lately I have been sick of the food when we go out to eat, contributing to the married life. It's overpriced and not as good as what you can cook at home. Besides, all the restaurants in town get their food from the same places we get ours... if you go early in the morning you will see all the guys running around with seven carts full of eggs, meat, yogurt, fruits, veggies and cheeses. So when you really think about it what's the point of having them cook your food? One of our favorite places to go has an amazing patio but the spaghetti, just plain meat sauce spaghetti, goes for R30 which is about USD $12. If I was in the US I would laugh at this price and order something different. Down here though ever single restaurant is the same and half of them are owned by the same guy. We still go out to eat but not as often as we used to now that my cooking level increased this year!

Since the dinner's on the table at 7 when Nate comes home from work we end up watching tv together after eating at the kitchen table. It doesn't take long for us to get sick of watching the same commercials over and over again before we turn the tv off, I turn on my book, and Nate plays a video game or two. Then off to bed we go.

Not a bad little routine but I cannot imagine doing this forever! I am sure that once Belle comes things will be different. For now I know that we both can't wait for our friends to be visiting and for life to pick up the pace again!

Tchau,
Sara
