a new twist on my childhood
so my cousins just had a baby, and eric was viewing some pictures of the new baby with me on-line.
we came across this picture of their new family.
as you can see, the dog is very curious and cautious of this new little bundle!
which prompted this exchange…
sarah: hahaha! this picture reminds me of my dog growing up! my parents said when they first brought me home from the hospital, the dog haaated me!
eric: yeah, but can you blame him? you were born with chlamydia!
sarah: WHAT?
eric: you know, that thing when babies cry all the time?
sarah: i believe you mean colic.
wow.
we are dorks
here are a few pictures of eric and me from the past few months.
i hope we always stay this silly! i don’t wanna grow up! 
tv in the bedroom: to be or not to be?
i remember reading somewhere that married couples should not have TVs in their bedroom.
or did i just make this idea up in my head?
when we were first married, eric and i thought it would be good to leave TV out of our room for a few reasons:
-TV distracts you from talking to each other
-The bedroom should be a place of relaxation, rest, and romance
-TV rots your brain (haha…not really)
but lately we’ve learned a sneaky little trick: we bring the laptop into bed at night and watch DVDs.
so, it’s not really TV, er, uh, um — is this bad? cause it’s so much fun!!
we love falling asleep to Legends of the Fall, The Big Lebowski, Fight Club, High Fidelity, Troy, Detroit Rock City, episodes of The Office … you get the picture.
it’s kinda relaxing, restful, and some-what romantic…
right?
what’s your opinion of TV in the bedroom?
pot roast…it goes in a pot
to everyone who cooks:
did you know that you can’t grill pot roast?
is this some kind of common knowledge that i missed?
why didn’t it say on the package: HEY, DUMMY. YOU GOTTA COOK THIS IN A CROCK POT. FOR 10 HOURS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GRILL.
grrrrr. i ruined a perfectly planned meal for eric.
well, at least the corn on the cob was good!
(oh, but did you know you can’t make sweet corn? adding sugar only makes you look silly.)
life is goooooood
so, yesterday eric and i celebrated 1 YEAR OF MARRIAGE!!!
yipeee!! we beat out carmen electra & dennis rodman!
well everyone always says the first year is the toughest.
in my opinion, i think it’s the toughest to make the two of you tough — to make you stronger, together.
—> other words for tough: solid, resilient, hard-wearing
(a thesaurus is a handy little tool)
and i believe the bumps we’ve had have truly made our marriage stronger and more intimate.
- yes, sometimes you get angry. (sometimes you even slam doors and kick furniture and say horrible things.)
- yes, sometimes you cry. (okay, you cry a lot.)
- yes, sometimes you wonder, “what did i get myself into?! this is not what i thought marriage would be like!”
but i truly love and appreciate this guy more today then i ever thought i could in the beginning…
and i can still feel the butterflies!
happy anniversary, pal!
