Marriage Quotes

I like this one.
Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side.
Zig Ziglar

That’s a common mantra for Bald Man and me. When we’re in the midst of stress and frustration, all one of us has to say is, “We’re on the same […]

Single Again!

So, my week Bacchanalian fun is drawing to an end. Kerri arrives home tomorrow, so I’d been get the beer bottles thrown away and glitter vacuumed up. ;)
Seriously, four days to myself and I accomplished the following:

So, really, I’m gonna be jealous of him…

Engaged Over Twitter

And it doesn’t appear to have been the first time this happened. Greg & Stef a few weeks ago. And Jerrod & Shannon six months before that. There are even rumors of one prior to them.
All the best to both couples, […]

Long, Lost Voice…almost…

Marriage Diva linked to a sweet story about a widower who wanted his wife’s voice back, and apparently got it.
My mom and I both have lots of messages saved on our cells for sentimental reasons. Mostly of the kids when they were a bit younger and still had their baby voices. I wish […]

How Much for a Wedding!!!

ING Direct recently released data indicating that the average cost of a wedding has reached £18,500! I don’t follow the currency markets closely, but that’s in the $30-40K range!
Holy Crap!

I know… I know. It’s a (hopefully) once in a lifetime kind of day, but for serious, that’s a lot of freakin’ money! That’s a college […]
