Welcome to my blog!

hey everybody!

ok, so, i'm mrs corley, and if you can't tell i don't do capital letters. lol! i only use them when i want to emphasize something, so if that bothers you (which surprisingly bothers a lot of people), this is not the blog for you. *sorry* but i thought i'd start off with a little about me, so you know who's ideas and opinions you're reading about.

i'm a 26-year-old newlywed. me and mr corley have been married about 7 months. in those 7 months, i have learned more about him than in the 3 years that we've been together. i've learned that marriage is not easy, but i have the ability to make it pleasurable & fun. i am determined that i will not spend my entire marriage complaining and being miserable. there have been very hard times, and there are harder times ahead, but i love my husband. i mean i LOVE him, i'm in LOVE with him, and (to use his phrase) i'd kill a dead brick about him. flaws and all, i wouldn't trade him for anyone else in the world, because i know that he loves me for me and has my back when i feel i have NO ONE to stand behind me. and i remind myself of these things every time it gets rough. it doesn't fix anything, but it gives me the strength to work to make this a strong and beautiful relationship. ladies, (and gentlemen) if we took the time and effort to make our relationships successful, we wouldn't spend all of our time trying to track and stalk and spy on our men. I'm just saying, be the kind of wife that your husband wants to come home to. I know that sounds real old-fashioned or simple or anti-feminist or whatever. and you don't have to agree with me. but when the institute of marriage was created by God (and not a feminist group), husbands were instructed to submit themselves unto God and after that husbands AND wives were told to submit themselves "one to another". a lot of people get that bible quote mixed around all crazy, but that's for another blog. the point i'm trying to make is, you can't just sit back and expect your relationship to work out. it will NEVER happen.

i'm getting new blog ideas just as i type this one. anyway, i don't have any kids yet, but i'm hoping that they are coming soon. i love babies, from birth to teenagers. i adore just about everything about them. if you are blessed to be a mother or father, remind yourself everyday that there's this amazing person created by you and someone totally different from you. and your child is an amazing blend of two people. i know they throw tantrums, lie, and even piss you off. but could you imagine your life without them? if you could, then people like me want to fight you.

another thing about me is that i'm pretty funny. i'm not cocky about it, i'm just stating facts. i love to laugh and make people laugh, and i also just have a sometimes weird way of looking at things. it's ok. i'm not trying to crucify or change anyone through these blogs, i'm just curious to see if anyone thinks the same way about things that i do from time to time. and, hey if i change someones life by writing my thoughts out for the better, then yay! but if i offend you, i'm sorry. that is never my intent. however, i am a grown woman, so a simple note to bring that to my attention is sufficient. i don't do childish back-and-forth banter, so if that's your style, this blog isn't for you either.

let's see.......is there anything else?......nope. i guess that's about it. i hope you enjoy this all-access pass into my thoughts and opinions!
