being wife-like

so bobby and i have been married for 8 months and 6 days as of today which is crazy. but what is even crazier is that monday was the first time in our married life that i have acted completely 'wife-like'. some of you may know that cooking is NOT my strong point. just to make it clear, it is not that i dont cook for my husband! i just never cook anything that really requires any skill......i'm very good at roasts, enchiladas, pasta, and all other things that are easy. and bobby usually helps me make dinner cause he gets very impatient when he gets hungry! haha

BUT....monday night i decided to have a little surprise ready for my husband when he came home from work. bobby has been craving meatloaf for about a week and a half now and i decided it was time to fulfill that craving. so....i called my grandma and got her recipe for yummy yummy meatloaf only to find out that she doesnt really have a recipe for meatloaf and i was just going to have to approximate it.

let me make this clear. i am a follow the recipe kind of girl. i am way to much of a nervous cooker to wing it. but, anything for bobby right? so the point of this post is to document for posterity my first homemade meal made completely by myself of my marriage. homemade meatloaf with a special sauce, homemade mashed potatoes, and vegetables. i am actually quite proud of myself with how delicious it turned out and bobby was pretty pleased to finally see some culinary skills out of me. he even picked a flower on his way home from work for me. what a cute husband!
