Getting on with Real Life...

Jess and Andy have returned from their honeymoon vacation in Hawaii, where they had a wonderful restful time.  They have both returned to the reality living real life and working their jobs.  

Along with life comes putting away wedding gifts and settling into their apartment and exchanging wedding gifts and making other needed purchases.  This week, on her way home from work, Jess stopped and did some shopping.  She picked up some items at Macy's and Bed Bath and Beyond.  You must first realize, however, when you take public transportation, i.e. the Metro bus, it can be a bit difficult to bring your purchases to their final destination, home.

Pictured here are Jess' purchases along with her work laptop bag and purse.  
Yes!  That is a full-size ironing board!

Just trying to picture this in my mind, makes me smile.  Maybe it would remind you of a comedy on television, where you see this housewife carrying all these packages including an ironing board and then trying to board the bus for her journey home.   I wish I could have been a passenger on the bus when she boarded.  I mean, really, do people this day and age really know an ironing board is?!?  

I have to say, I am proud of you, Jess, that you do iron your clothes and do take pride in the way you and your husband's clothes look when you leave your home. 

So, way to go, Jess!  I'm glad you made it home safe and sound without incident with your brand new
ironing board in tow as well.  Thank you, Jess,so much for allowing me to share this snippet of your life with our family and friends.  {Smile.}
