4 Things George of the Jungle Helped Me Realize With My New Marriage


1. Missing out on the "firsts" are a lie.

Just like in George of the Jungle, George shows Ursula the cute monkey, first's happen all the time. When you get into a relationship and/or marry someone who is/ has been divorced... You miss out on the "firsts" according to so many people. But this couldn't be any less true. My husband and I recently achieved the goal of a FIRST home together, we are about to bring home our FIRST puppy together, and miraculously, we are each others FIRST loves. Our previous relationships, we have now realized that love was never there to begin with. Don't listen to other's opinions of what your marriage will be like to your partner, let that be decided by both of you.

2. There will be times when you don't understand their way of doing things.

There are certain things that he/she will do, that you will never be able to comprehend or understand, but the fact is, behind every movement or action is a reason. Whether they have been like this their entire life, or because of how their last partner treated them, you don't know, and most importantly don't assume. Be mindful of this when he/she does something, don't be rude, don't lecture, Words HURT.


3. Love is a want and need.

George loved Ursula at first sight, and the same happened with my husband and I. When I first met him, he told me that he would never get married again. But within 3 weeks of us dating, it had already been brought up and thought about. I found out, that the love he had for me was bigger than I ever thought possible, the fact that his love for me overcame his fear and choice of never wanting to get married again astounded me, and I haven't forgotten this. I do my best to show him how much I love him and appreciate him on a daily basis. Someone who was treated wrong in a marriage, in my experience, typically doesn't want to be married again because of how they were treated in the past. Trust is KEY, listen to your heart like the Tuki Tuki bird.

4. Words Hurt The Worst

DON'T. BE. LYLE. One thing I found out quick is what not to say and how to word things to be able to effectively communicate with my husband. Having a filter isn't always a bad thing, listen more than you talk and you just might have better results with communication.


George of the Jungle is one of the most iconic movies of the 90's, yes it is one of the funniest movies of the 90's but the love story couldn't have been sweeter

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
