........I said ‘I Do!’ to my best friend on August 21, 2010 after a 7 year incredibly happy relationship. We want to share our story of marriage, from the good times to the bad to the everything in between as it happens.. and hopefully prove that in this day and age there is still a chance for a happy life-long loving marriage. If you want, follow us on our journey and we’ll find out together. WARNING: This blog is not for everyone. Our goal in creating this is to be able to look back on the years and see where our relationship has taken us. To be able to laugh over both the hard times and the good times. And again, to prove that a loving marriage can last a life time. If you don't like mush, steer clear!
Though the stories in this blog are about both the husband and the wife this blog is updated almost 100% by the wife and approved by the husband. Typical, right? :)
it’s a wonderfully happy circle
My husband just told me there are only 6 episodes in the second season of Spartacus. This is not cool. With either of us.
Needless to say now but that’s what we’ve been doing in our spare TV time recently, along with catching the new episodes of Survivor : Redemption Island. I would highly suggest to anyone that liked the movie 300 to watch the Spartacus series. As an incentive, let me tell you there is eye candy for both sexes, and even for whatever orientation you may be! ;)
Onto a different subject: Birthdays. Both of us share the same month for our birthdays. His is on April 2nd and mine is on the 20th. I’m starting to feel bad though because he has been showering me with gifts when all I got him was Pokemon White for his DS (and some things which we will just keep private ;))which he had been looking forward to for the longest time. Did I mention we were geeks? Actually, I just like to think of it as we are very in touch with our inner children.
Friday he bought me tickets to WWE’s Monday night RAW which is coming to Miami very shortly. I didn’t think we were going to have time to get tickets so this surprised me! Then Saturday he gave me Pokemon Black for my DSi so that we could play and trade together. Sunday we went for a bike ride and he told me to stop at a clothes store and that I could pick some things out. I ended up with two new blouses and a wallet. I don’t know what else could be coming.. I’m hoping for not much more because we really need to save money for a car.
His work finally gave him more hours recently so I know he’s overly joyed to be able to spoil me for once instead of it being the other way around. I won’t complain because a happy him makes a happy me and a happy me makes a happy him. It’s a wonderfully happy circle we make.
I learned that once a guy hurts you, you don’t deserve him at all.
because if you ever go back, the same thing will just happen again, and your pride of being strong, will be down the drain. yeah, you might of have been happier with him, but like at least now you don’t have to wait for that text all night, or worry who he’s with, and what he’s doing. if he made you worry a lot, he’s not worth it either.
How would you like it if you hurt a guy once and he felt like this towards you? People make mistakes and it’s eventual that you or your partner will hurt you or be hurt in some way beacause people are different. Think about how you are with your siblings or bestest friend. Have you never hurt them? Have you never said mean things when you are angry? When you spend that much time with someone there are bound to be fights and arguments. You know why? Again, because each and every one of us are different. You can either embrace those differences and make the decision to grow together. Or you can take the easy way out and throw away something that has the potential to be very very good.
Nothing worth having is every easy to get.
Never base your decision off of one mistake if things have been well.

good things will come in time
These last few weeks have been good for the both of us. We’ve had our challenging moments though. We knew we were getting back a pretty decent tax return so we decided that we were going to use it on a car. A car is something we’ve been wanting for a long time now but were never able to fit it into our budget without really pushing it to the max and I hate to do that. I hate to be stressed out. It makes me grumpy, which then makes him grumpy, and then it’s just a house full of un-happy grumps. Not cool.
Anyway, after shopping around for a bit we found out that insurance is much pricier than we had ever imagined. This really put a big halt on our searching and for the first few days I was really down in the dumps. A car can mean a lot of things for us and I was so ready to move forward that taking that hit really crushed me and made me sad.
Of course K always has the right words to say and we decided that we’re going to put this lump sum into savings and just put more and more into it with every paycheck until we’re able to find a decent used car that we can buy out in full. That way we don’t have 2 extra monthly payments to worry about.
I love how he makes me realize I don’t need these things in my life to make it better. I have all I need and good things will come in time.
Babe had to walk to work today and of course, as he was on his way, a storm blew in out of nowhere and soaked him to the bone. He described it as:
“oh, and the rain is coming right at me … not like, a spray from the side no, dead-on in-the-face fuck-yo-shoes-nigga waterfall of angel piss”
I think I’m going to buy him a new book to make him feel better.
