Husbandisms 3

I had just gotten home from school, very late in the evening.
T: *big hug* Shall we go change into our red matching pajamas and hang out?
E: Sure.
Five minutes later... as we're both wearing red one piece long underwear.
T: Oh no. What if someone comes to the door?

I brought Ty to a work party with me. I have about 20 coworkers and everyone brought a companion for the evening so the party was huge. Ty was clearly overwhelmed. We were playing Murder in the Dark. We were killed almost immediately so we're sitting quietly with all the other victims in the dark.
T: What would Phil Dunfee do in a situation like this? ... He's a really social guy. He'd have this whole place laughing.

In a teeny tiny voice Ty whispers, "Come here, cooookie." while attempting to fit his hand in his very tall glass to dunk the aforementioned.

And... Grand Finale!!! 

Discussing my past boyfriends
T: You dated some really ugly people. I mean, baby, what were you thinking?
E: *fit of giggles*
T: Seriously baby, admit it. You made some mistakes before you got with this.
E: *giggles continue*
T: Admit it! One day you'll have to come to terms with this.

Well.. it's that time of year that everyone posts about everything they're thankful for.. especially their dogs they love so much. It's Day 3 and you're running out of people already? {Who doesn't love animals? This girl.} And it's good that we are thankful but it's even better to be thankful all year long, not just because of this supposed holiday where we stole the Indian's land. {I've seen Addams Family Values... I know the truth}

Wow, this is starting to sound mean. I just don't like dogs. {One time, I got home and my roommate was sobbing under her covers and I asked her what was wrong and she wouldn't tell me. It was only months later I found out her dog died and she wouldn't tell me because she knew of my apathy towards animals and knew I wouldn't care. She was probably right.} Wow. Are there enough segues yet? Didn't think so. 

Another time, a roommate and I were really down on ourselves. Our dating lives were less than amazing and both of us had experienced some heartbreak. We decided that we didn't need a guy to make us happy.. and then we burned our bras. Just kidding. Then we decided we would find things to be happy about. So we started texting each other every hour while we were at school. Our texts would include what we were thankful for, and they could be as serious or silly as we wanted. And you know what? There was a change in a single day. And we did this for a couple weeks. And we were happy. And now we're both married and happy.{Note: We didn't meet our husbands the next day or anything.. this was actually like two years before I got married and she got engaged.) What I'm saying, is that when we're thankful, what we have is all we need. 

So right now, my mom-mobile is dead and we live in a dinky apartment and I don't have a dishwasher BUT I'm thankful for my sweet husband, my eternal marriage, my education, the proximity of my apartment to my school, my best friends, my little brother, the gospel, Harry Potter, heat, extended family, Netflix, and the Internet to Skype with my niece, Ash Ketchum. 

{Me and my sweet husband... and our eternal marriage}

So be thankful. Always.
