Decade

Well tomorrow, or today, maybe yesterday depending on when you read this; I will have been married to a girl for 10 years. Known her for more than 13, will continue to know her until I die. She is my only friend, best friend, lover, mother. I can remember when I first thought..."hmmm she is pretty hot, short, stubby, athlete, outsider.....definite maybe." She was sitting in the bleachers with her friend Mary. They were two peas in a pod and the only way to get into their circle was to be friends with both. You were not getting in that ring unless they both agreed that you belonged. I have no idea how but somehow I made it in. That was how the relationship started. She is going to feed you with some b.s. that she actually asked me out. Not so fast. I was playing hard to get and wanted to break down her ring and the only way in was for her to make the first move. I agreed, we held hands, we kissed, we ........ and it was all worth it. She wont believe this but I do remember our first kiss on the front porch of her moms house. I think. It was either there or at some stupid church camp that our Nazi school made us attend. HE HE.

Good and bad. Worse time was when I had to call Jim to ask for his approval. He and Jayne chewed my arse. I remember getting off the phone and thinking "alright, (breath, breath) now what in the hell am I supposed to do." The one thing about our marriage is that neither one of us are afraid of doing things together. She flew into Wausau got a chance to see my bachelor pad full of pizza boxes and marked with puke in my bedroom. This pad was a sweet 3 story pad. We were on the middle story and I was sitting by my computer desk when I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. I know, I know. I am one of the most romantic bastards you have ever met.

10 years later here we are. I could go on, and on about memories that I have but I think I already have the record of the longest blog and this one is probably going to be close.

Heidi if you read this I cant wait to share the next 10 years with you as we watch our child grow, live in a great city for a long time, and grow closer to each other. As you know I dont blog usually without lyrics. These are meant for you Heidi....

my beloved one

your eyes shine through me
you are so divine to me
your heart has a home in mine
we won't have to say a word
with a touch all shall be heard
when i search my heart it's you i find

my beloved one

you were meant for me
i believe you were sent to me
from a dream straight into my arms
hold your body close to me
you mean the most to me
we will keep each other safe from harm

my beloved one
