All couples have similarities and differences. We learn to live with both. But sometimes our differences clash. Still, we learn to cope! Although I have many things that Zdenek and I like together (such as our style) I believe he wishes I would be more like him as far as a someone who was neat about their personal space. We both have areas, which we believe are our personal domain; for example, I cook so the kitchen is part of mine. We both have a room/office that is totally our own. Here’s a glimpse into our areas:

His office:
My sewing studio:

| I know where everything is! |
Now, I don’t usually post pictures about my messiness. But I refuse to be fake so I’m doing so. I can clean a house that my mom would be so proud of, just ask my sister! But I can make a mess faster than most kids! I believe this drives my husband nuts somedays. He gets so many bonus points for not pointing it out to me on most days. But just like my messiness can (OK, does) drive him nuts, so does him being so neat drives me nuts. For example, I can be cooking a recipe and have everything I need out on the countertop and the dryer buzzer goes off. I’ll go to take care of the clothes and when I come back to cooking, all the food has been put away! My honey didn’t know what I was doing but thought I just left the stuff out and put it away! IT DRIVES ME CRAZY! But somehow we live with each other in harmony! I just find it fascinating how couples manage life together when we have different ideas, backgrounds and standards. It must be *l*o*v*e*! I wouldn't trade him for the world! I hope he feels the same way; I'm afraid to ask!
