Pro Marriage

I have come to the conclusion that I am, in fact, pro marriage. (Naturally I've never thought to the contrary). These last two months with my wife Emily have been so great. I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the most precious moments we have shared that haven't been mentioned already.




This picture is a personal favorite. For Christmas I got a new digital camera. This gift was dying to be tested, so Emily and myself went into the backyard and had a little photoshoot. We employed a wide variety of photography strategies. We modified the Lynn Classic (which is a special kind of jumping shot) in the the Lynn Frolic (which is more of a frolic than a jump, but still an airborn experience). I also challenged Emily's world renouned photogenic nature. I gave her a word and she had to strike a pose based on that word. As I recall words like "epic" and "pensive" were among the words uttered.


For our one month aniversary we made homemade pizza as pictured to the right. If you look closely at the peperoni and bell pepper topping you will notice a little peperoni heart in the center in addition to the heart shaped crust. That's Amore. After dinner we enjoyed a lovely Family Home Evening together. It doesn't get any better than that.





Another favorite thing we have shared together is playfulness. All the times that we joke about "moist flesh loaf" are postivaly precious to me. The faces, the voices, and the philosphising on meaningless things lead me to the conclusion that I am more comfortable with my wife than anyone in the world. Who else could I share a shower cap with for a picture? Frankly, nobody comes to mind. And to add the icing to the cake, it is one of the greatest perks of my life to be able to talk about what is for dinner. Poor Emily endures my endless questions (days in advance) regarding what we will be having for dinner. Her cooking makes me excited and is something special to me. I'm so lucky.


PS- for those of you who see this blog as a sappy afair, my advice to you is to "get over it!" Thank you, that is all.

Oh Dixons! Hello from the stalker named Beth. But to be fair, you can't expect to safely comment on my brother[Adam]'s and/or my best buddy[Steph]'s blogs without arousing curiosity! Check and mate.

Michael, how in the hey are you? And how is Ben?! And Emily, you are absolutely adorable. Congratulations to you both! *B

Hey Y'all. Just an FYI... Your link to Adam's toons actually goes to my "normal" blog site. I'm fine with that and all, but I just thought you should know, though you probably already do so this comment is really just moot anyway. Oh well.

Sounds good to me Monsieur Michael. You both are really lucky. Sometimes I dream about the day that I too will be able to wear a shower cap with someone for a picture.

Good friend Adam, I rectified the misdirected link. :)
