Weekend of Arguing

Monday, January 28th, 2008

So basically what began as a small argument eventually evolved into a weekend full of them. Mapquest was the starting point, but we eventually started sniping at each other about when to go to the movies, forgetting to go to the ATM, and it all got topped off with a personal favorite, me sitting in [...]

Nothing Says Matrimony Like A Redskins Garter

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Courtesy of the Deuce of Davenport, you and your spouse can show your team spirit, even on the most sacred day of your life!
How? With NFL wedding garters! Some of them even handmade!
I wish I would’ve approached my wife with this idea. “Honey, you know how you like the Ravens? Well, a lot of the [...]

Wherever I Go, She Goes

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

So we’re trying to find a spot to travel to for Valentines Day, and it’s proving difficult for the following reasons:

Were both in school and can’t afford an extended vacation early in the semester.
We don’t want to spend 15 hours driving somewhere nice (Translation: I don’t want to spend the 15 hours driving)
The pre-wedding surprise [...]

The Backside of Marriage

Monday, January 21st, 2008

I threw out my back on Saturday. My wife is still taking care of me today, even though we had a medium-sized fight this morning.
The details are pretty sketchy, but I’m sure it had something to do with typing something into Mapquest inefficiently and taking issue with the fact that she’s so impatient with the [...]

New Look For 60 Days To Heaven

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Considering that I’m not the decorator in this relationship, I hope you all enjoy the new look of the site. I know it’s not flashy, but it’s a nice change of pace and should suit what I’m trying to accomplish.
I’m sure my wife will be thrilled when she sees this three months from now.

Football Night in a Marriage

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

If you are lucky, you can find a woman who doesn’t mind watching sports, especially when it comes to football. Of all the reasons why I think I’m the luckiest man in the world, in the top 25 easily is the fact that my wife is in to and intuitive about football.
The only problem is, [...]

Devotion vs. Affiliation

Friday, January 11th, 2008

So it appears we have some big time traveling decisions to make in the coming months. Being that my wife and I are big time believers in community service organizations, every year our respective organizations call on us to travel for regional and national conferences. Hers requires attendance in Philadelphia and Washington D.C. this March [...]

Six Months In

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Today is the six-month anniversary of my wedding day, and it doesn’t even seem like it’s been six weeks. Amongst all of laughter, good times, and house buying, it seemed more like an extended game of Monopoly than the beginning of the rest of my life. I have to say, the great times have far [...]

Five New Year’s Resolutions for Marriage

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Like most people, I make New Year’s resolutions to try to improve my life at the beginning of every year. But maturity has taught me that sweeping goals never get done until you master the baby steps. Losing weight, writing that book, calling your friends more often, and making more money all start with a [...]
