Today is Blake and I's 6 month anniversary. Not such a big deal to most people, but when you have never been married before -being married for 6 months feels like some sort of milestone. Blake jokes that he is surprised that I have put up with his nonsense for this long, but the real truth is that he is putting up with me. You see, I happen to be married to the most amazing man in the world- for those of you who don't know this. I'm certain that there are plenty of wonderful men out there, but Blake is definitely the most suited for me. He has a lot to put up with. For one, I don't work, and lets be honest, its not like I'm a stay-at-home mom, which is a full-time job in itself, and it is not as if we have a huge house that takes oodles of time to look after, nor an impressive hobby that requires my full attention. No, I am a stay at home wife of a one bedroom 600 sq ft apartment with virtually no hobbies and a limited supply of friends. Secondly, I have odd habits. Poor Blake is constantly having to secure the bottom bed sheet before we sleep so it is nice and tight, and ward me off when I scrutinize his eyebrows with tweezers in hand. Thirdly, I suspect that I am a bit bossy. My mom has always told me this, but secretly I know EXACTLY who I inherited this trait from. I know how everything in the world needs to be done, and I must impart this great knowledge upon Blake. Mostly though, I feel like Blake has to put up with me because he is such a great guy, whose flaws I could maybe count on one hand, but even then I would have to make some up, and I , well I have a lot of flaws! However right or wrong I am, I do know that I am one lucky girl. And what better place to celebrate our first few anniversaries together than the most beautiful island in the caribbean?!
PS- Got sick of the old template, decided it had to go! An inability to make up my mind is yet another trait that Blake must endure!
Oh how easily the youngens are confused....Natalie my sweet niece me thinks you may have the "Gray" histrionics slightly back-ass-words my dear. You see, since time immoral in the "Gray Clan"(from whence half of your illustrious gene pool comes from, I might add), it has been known that some of the Gray women possessed a slightly recessive gene, which on occasion could possible give them a "Shrew" like demeanour. Naturally the "Gray Clan" men never exhibited such a trait, being the naturally superior beings they are. They also tolerated this genetic befuddle of their Female counterparts, because they knew that upon "Child Birth" this annoying trait disappears, and is passed on to the "Eldest Daughter". Though sometimes it can still be seen in the older ones, when shoes are thrown, and on that, I will let your knowledgeable Father explain.
ReplyDeleteThis was all explained to your Loving Husband Blake in a "Secret Ritual" prior to your Marriage. We assured him to the point of slight inebriation, that the "Gray Clan" women are always the Lovingness, sweetest, smartest, kindness, most gorgeous female creatures to grace this Earth that the gods could create.
So you two Valentines celebrate the glorious day in Paradise, in Love, and in the Warmth of each others arms, and may the passing years find you more and more in Love with each other every year.
Happy 6 month Nat!
ReplyDeleteYah! you have made it six months! Congrats, Not to put a wedge in your romantic thinking, but have you ever thought that you are on an island, and if Blake really wanted to run and get away from you, that he really has no where to go! I think Blake has done his calculations and realized that he could run around the island a million times, but would always end up right back at you! hahaa! He is just saving himself the calories and heat exhaustion of running away!
ReplyDeleteJJ all joking aside you two are a great couple!
oh Mel, you crack me up. Why do you think I moved here????!!! He can't get away...
