Husbandisms 6

Ty: Did you like my text earlier this morning?
Em: The one about a.m. radio?
Ty: Yeah that's the one.
(It had said, "I may or may not have listened to a.m. radio this morning")
Em: Was it because you felt like an adult on your way to your 9 to 5 job?
Ty: Yes, it just felt like the appropriate thing to do. Just listening to the traffic and the news. I like to be informed.

We're in our parking garage, waiting for people to go up the elevator so we don't have any awkward elevator rides.
Em: Do you think the coast is clear?
Ty: Yeah, I think we're good... but is it "the coast is clear" or "the ghost is clear"?
Em: It's "The coast is clear"
Ty: I think I've been saying "The ghost is clear" ever since I was little
Em: uncontrollable laughter
Ty: I mean, it makes sense. Ghosts are clear!

Keep On, Keeping On

This last month has been.. painful. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that when it was over, things would really be over. Even though I was only taking 12 credits, it some how destroyed my soul. But if I just passed my classes, I would be done for a whole summer before I student taught. And while I'm waiting to hear about my grades, I'm thinking back on the little things that kept me going. 

And it was all Tyler. Duh. I won't make you throw up with details but two specifics come to mind. First of all, we got a new calling the Sunday of finals. My biggest final was the next day and I had already given myself heart palpitations during the first hour of church. WE got "invited" to a meeting after church for our new callings and I melted. Tears. Fetal Position. Floor. Not in that order. So he offered to go by himself.  (Afterwords he told me he was the only boy there and he now understood why my RS meetings used to take so long.) It was slightly reminiscent of my home girl's meltdown featured below. Tyler also pointed our that our emotional scales are identical. 

Secondly, both of us were studying in my craft room one night (It was the cleanest room in the house. that tells you how messy our house was. yuck.) Ty decided he wanted ice cream and brought me back a tiny chocolate Ben & Jerry's. He comes back, sits against the wall while I'm sprawled out in the middle of the floor and hands me the ice cream. But he says, "Hey Girl, I brought you this ice cream because I know how hard you've been working." How could I not lose it? I laughed so hard. And I needed to. And in case you don't know what I'm talking about, here are a few gems. That's my boy, Ryan

 

 He helps me keep it real and that's really the best we can hope for :)
