You know when you’re driving along and you see someone walking their dog and you think, ‘dang, that woman looks exactly like her dog?’ I’m afraid that’s happening to me - except I don’t have a dog and it’s gone past looks.
We realized this month that since getting married I have gained a few pounds. [...]

In order to celebrate passing ordination exams and surviving the first half of the semester, Adam and I went on a date night. We went to a mall, did some shopping, went to a very nice dinner at Macoroni Grill (yum), and then went to see The Prestige, which was very good. It was a [...]

It is true in our marriage that many of our gender roles are reversed. Adam is a much better cook, while I can more easily assemble furniture and use my tool set. I don’t generally have a problem with this. I eschew many feminine roles and enjoy the challenges of assembling and fixing broken things, [...]

It’s true. We’ve survived our first fourth months of marriage. We’ve had our bumps, but mostly we still like each other and love is still there.
Having gotten this far, however, I know feel as though I know the secret ins and outs of marriage. That’s right, while you may think marriage may take years to [...]

I don’t know why some people use the phrase ‘eat their words’ derogatively. I don’t know about you, but my words are sweet and true and I have no problem eating them. They came out sweetly the first time and are just as sweet to eat again.

(between Adam and I; in Glacier National Park)

S: (naively trusting her husband) Okay.
[as hike begins]
S: Adam, [...]

These have been on the tip of my tongue for the past few weeks. Adam can attest that I like to say them frequently, often without provocation.
1) "Smush Bush" (we found a smush Bush toy a few weeks ago. It’s like a stress ball but looks like Bush - smush bush)
2) "Happy wife, happy life" [...]

Hey,
It’s been so long since I’ve written. I’m sorry. Time seems to slip by so quietly this summer. I had every intention of sitting down to write to you weeks ago, but then I looked down and weeks had gone by. So many days the hours seemed to dig their nails in rather than pass [...]

1) My throat is feeling better (thanks mostly to my husband who went out just to get me popsicles; and partly to the really good sherbert I bought last night).
2) My bug bites still itch and while I appreciated all of your suggestions and tried a few of them, I think my fingernails are still [...]

As it turns out, I’ve married a Trekkie (I don’t even know how to spell it - Star Trek freak). He tried to make me watch a Star Trek movie last weekend. I did my best, but . . . um . . . no. Not for me.
We’ve made many such "fun" discoveries over [...]
