I chose a pretty interesting day to get started blogging (as a side, I’ve grown to hate the term “blogging” and have decided to consider this nothing more than an online journal, so I’m not going to be a “blogger” per se, rather some dude who keeps a journal online). Anyhows, today is interesting because it’s my third wedding anniversary. Whoo!! Being married is pretty awesome – much more so than being engaged, which totally sucked (Dear Moms: we love you, but you were stink pots during that time) – it’s actually really easy and really fun to be totally “all in” with a relationship. I guess we’re pretty lucky, but for the most part things have been really easy. My theory is that we were both burned by fake relationships with no discussions about what we needed out of them, and we both somehow made ourselves change that in this relationship. I see it as lucky to have found each other at the right time, but not lucky that we’re working so well, because we work at it and work isn’t luck.
Since we do about four things in the span of two weeks – Grandma’s bday, Christmas, my birthday, Laura’s birthday, New Year’s and our Anniversary (ok, so six things) – we don’t buy gifts or go out for our anniversary. Instead, we hang at home and cook and just relax. Knowing us, we’ll watch some HGTV, get naked, then watch some more HGTV as we fall asleep. On the dinner menu is our current favorite steak preparation, Grilled Porterhouse with Horseradish Cream Sauce. mmmmmmm.
