Yesterday, I texted my friend, who got married a couple of weeks ago, to “see how the newlyweds were doing”. And as I expected, she replied that nothing has changed. I can’t even tell you how many times I gave that answer – most couples who were already living together before tying the knot feel [...]
The Story of Us: Then and Now
I have been putting off participating in Project Marriage for the past few months, and it’s about time I actually play along with Tina’s great new monthly meme. September’s theme is Then and Now: photos of you and your honey throughout the years of your relationship. October will mark 6 years since Ben and I [...]
Priorities
Last week, I found out that my cousin got engaged. And as much as I want to spew gossip, rant and rave, and point fingers, I know that even though this is “my blog” and I have full rule-making rights, nothing good can come of it. So let’s just say . . . I have [...]
So They Can Teach Me How to Dougie
Alternatively titled: Strange conversations with my husband, via text. Ben: Yeah, forgot that they do that . . . so I can pick you up and go back as soon as I get home Jenn: I need a shower before people get here, so we’ll need to boogie. Ben: [...]
Our Second Year - What I've Learned
Today is Ben and my second wedding anniversary. There’s no big vacation planned, just a night out to a nice dinner, which considering the pace of the last few weeks, is a welcomed thing. Especially when I’ve been hoarding $60 in gift cards for a local restaurant for months so we can really enjoy ourselves! [...]
Wedding Photos: Two Years Later
I won a photo book giveaway last week, and have been looking through all of our wedding photos because of it. Almost two years later, I still haven’t done much with them. Since we “hired” two amateur photographers who were more interested in experience and building their portfolio than monetary compensation, I have three CDs [...]
Outside the Garden
As I started the rough draft of my Matron of Honor toast for a friend’s upcoming nuptials, I came across a quote that I just couldn’t get out of my head: After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than [...]
When you don’t fit into your real life "niche"
Thanks to blogging, I have a term for a something I deal with in real life. Every Valentine’s Day, the local Harley Davidson chapter/club/group/whatever hosts a luncheon for Muscular Dystrophy patients and their families. I’d stare at the invitation, taped to my fridge for weeks, and debate making filling out the R.S.V.P. form. Eventually, I’d [...]
You don't know my man
I wasn’t planning on posting today, since I’ll be busy visiting a certain little man and then packing for Bloggy Boot Camp, Philly! But after posting photos of Jaden on my facebook last night, I got one specific comment that really made my blood boil. K: “never thought I’d see that.. ben with a baby [...]
Don't Forget the Happily Ever After
When I first started getting serious about blogging, Brittney from Mommywood was one of my first friends. With an open heart and a great sense of humor, Brittney writes about her life, her adorable son Bailey, and her husband Zach. Marriage: When you make the decision to get married, you will all of a sudden [...]
