Ok I feel like I should say
"Happy New Year Everyone!" but it is February already. But considering
the fact that I haven't spoken with you all (and by you all I do mean the 2 or 3
of you that actually read my column) since June 19th, 2009, yup that's right the
day before I got married. WOW has it really been over 7 months since that fatef...err...I
mean glorious day!? Anyways I digress, it's my column and I'll do as I please!
So that being said, "Happy New Years Everybody!"
Can't say that I have any great excuses
or plausible reasons as to why it has taken me 7 months to write again. I mean
truth is being married has kind of made me lazy...Ok to be honest I have to be
open to the idea that I have always generally been predisposed to lazy-like
tendencies, but marriage has definitely been a HUGE enabler! I have to assume
that my wife is going to read this so I had better say something nice,
"Being married is awesome!"
All joking aside, the past seven months
have been a blast, may sound weird to say this but being married has been very
educational. Think about, going from being single and living on your own, to
have someone THERE everyday, come on that is LIFE ALTERING! AND I LOVE IT!
I was talking to a couple of my married
buddies (all pretty much in the same boat as me, newlyweds) just a few hours ago
and it was pretty interesting how we all have landed at the same conclusion:
THIS IS PRETTY COOL.
They, like me, wouldn't trade being married for another day of freedo...err...the
single life if you gave us the option! I know I know, all you older wiser (and
let's say hardened) married folk who have been doing this whole married thing
for a while are rolling your eyes. Hey maybe I am just a starred eyed
young pup who needs a few more years under my belt before I have earned the
right to extol the virtues and wonder of marriage, but I say, "Whatever, I love
being married and I love the very beautiful, wise woman that the Lord has
blessed me with, and I am not afraid to say!"
(quick disclaimer guys: It is just
about a week or so till Valentines Day and I'm really hope my wife sees this as
a sufficient gift:) lets just hope she stop's reading before this disclaimer!
More next time guy's and gal's...
Peace I'm Out!
