Practice Makes Perfect (of course running my husband over with my car and making it look like an accident would also make perfect)

I know you all are excited to see pictures of the Catemu house. Well I don´t have any right now, but I can show you the pictures I took on my Bahamas vacation with the extra money we had lying around hahaha just kidding. We are ordering the windows, so I want to show you a show when the roof is on and the windows and doors are on too (it is like a surprise so hold your horses until Saturday).

Today I want to talk about marriage. I have been married since October and I am not an expert on marriage…at all (and neither is my husband for that matter). Today I got to thinking, we are moving soon, and we have done a lot of planning on where we are going to live, and what our jobs might be, but for the most part we don´t really plan our marriage. I think that may be a mistake.

We started out winging it. Partially because we are busy trying to keep our little lives afloat. We have no insurance, we live pay check to pay check, we are what the kids are saying nowadays, keeping it real. Our main goal is just surviving and getting by, but I would soon like that to change, so it got me thinking, how will my marriage change?

If I had to describe my marriage as is, I would say Christian and I are on a rowing team together (or in some kind of manually maneuvered boat). We both have to paddle our little butts off to get anywhere and if one person steers us into the rocks, we both go down and meet our maker.

I would like to quit the rowing team (as soon as possible) and join the metaphorical track team. That would be my ideal marriage, Christian and I on the track team. See we would each have our own race. We could take jogs together but the training we basically be individual, but at the end of the track meet, we each give our points to the team. See with the track team (or cross country, swimming etc) we help each other out with the points we earn, but if one of us has a bad meet, we don´t take the other down with us into the cold watery abyss like we do with the rowing team.

I think that is the key to a good marriage for me. I need to get him out of my boat first thing and then avoid any other team sport, tennis is no good for me, golf could work. Yeah, if he doesn´t want to join my metaphorical track team I will suggest golf (plus I think men like golf don´t they?)

p.s. I just want to clarify that I do love my husband and am glad we got married. In fact, I would recommend marriage to anyone (who doesn´t have the money or whose health insurance doesn´t cover a lobodomy)
