Living in Big Love

A few days ago, Taylor introduced you to our house, "Big Love." Today's post is all about living in Big Love. You see, I live in a house with 6 girls and a cat. That might not appear that strange from the outset, but what makes it even weirder is that I grew up with two brothers.
Living in Big Love a pretty sweet setup if you are into matching outfits and themed dinners at least once a week. Weekly, the house has a "family dinner" and it always has a theme. For example, this past week the dinner fell on Columbus day, but how the heck do you celebrate Columbus day? Tay thought it would be a great idea if everyone dressed as an explorer, and bring a dish from their home- country (see above pic). It went over great, but like every week, I had to work during family dinner. Being away from family dinners will not be a lifelong habit.
Living in Big Love and being married means that home is completely different than what I am used to in every way. Like I said, I grew up as the youngest of three brothers. That meant that what I am used to is BB gun fights, brutal fights over who had use of the living room couch, and shows like car and driver on the television.
Outrageous roommates in college meant Presh's naked pullups first thing in the morning, Raman noodle wrestling fights, and shows like "I Love New York." Rommates in Big Love means immediate trips to Klines Ice Cream Bar for chocolate ice cream, cute outfits, and weekly "Gray's Anatomy" viewing parties.
However, I do have a few other outlets here in the 'Burg. Paul, the administrator for all things fraternity and sorority on the JMU campus has become a pretty fun guy to do things like trivia or not watch Gray's Anatomy. We are also a part of a small-group through our church and it's been awesome to get together with some of those guys to do things like play on Harrisonburg's only free par-three golf course. Or eat buffalo wings. Or watch football. And don't forget about Jake Kave, who dates one of the girls upstairs and played the mandolin for our wedding. We do things like talk about guns and talk about Joe Paterno.
