He hardly ever reads my blog, probably because he gets more than enough of my unceasing musings in Real Life, but I want to write about my husband anyway.
Whenever I look at our wedding photo, I experience equal measures of grin and grimace, but even the grimace is laced with a merciful kindness. I see two young people there, bursting with life and ideas and excitement, walking down an aisle into a relationship that they had 100% NO CLUE about. And, in the process of cluelessness—an ignorance mixed with idealism and energy and a passionate desire to live wholly for God—they got themselves into a wild roller-coaster ride of high’s and low’s, plenty of rolling eyed “we’ll never do that again’s,” and a passle full of grinning memories.
For the record, I would do it all over again. I can’t imagine a better person to brave the rails with.

What a couple of cuties!
Is it, by chance, close to your anniversary? How many years have you been married?
We won’t be there at practice tonight. Sully has succumbed to the cold/cough.
See ya tomorrow, probably.
~Love ya~

Miss you, Leah.
No anniversary. I was just thinking. (My blog policy is to sit down and quickly type out whatever is in my head at that very moment… Very wise and profound policy, I realize that…*roll eyes*)…

Paul,
You is SO funny. Actually, I think it was a misplaced prophecy for…DEB! Come on, you know you guys need another one…

Okay, back to attempting to make some sense of order in the kids room…

[GAR. This is Molly...I was trying to fix this comment (from my cool artist friend Fay, but made on *my* computer, so it said it was ME)...and despite the fact that changed the name info in so it wouldn't show my face, it's still showing my face. And the only reason I'm bothering to add this is just to let you all know that, um, editting other people's comments is NOT (ever) my policy!!!]

Oh, I can *so* relate. I think, 4-1/2 years into it, we are just starting to figure out what we’re doing

I think we all start out that way–no clue about what we’re walking into! At least we did. But I’m so glad I walked into it seven years ago. I’ve been lurking for a while and love your blog, Molly.
