hi idiots. i'm back baby, and better than ever. er, okay, the same as ever.
i need to first thank everyone for the kind words and warm congratulations on our wedding. contrary to what you may believe, i actually don't like being in the spotlight much.. but it went over really, really well. it's nice to know that good times were had by all. by the way, kraft broke his rib later that night, which i think is an awesome and very fitting end to our festivities. we had a blast, we are very happy, maui was awesome, and life is great. alright, enough sap.. i apologize for the personal nature of things but i hope it's understandable. if you're waiting for the word butt to be in here somewhere, there it is.
i suppose that while i'm on the topic and reflecting on things a bit, i must say that, yes, married life is wonderful. i'll gladly talk about the wedding or honeymoon or whatever as much as anyone wants to listen. but i'll tell you this, and i hope the new mrs. mcboober doesn't take offense: i don't want people to feel obliged to ask about my wedding if they aren't comfortable with the topic... and by that i mean if it tires or annoys them to hear about marriage (or in this case, read about it). you should know that i completely understand how annoying it can be to hear wedding this and marriage that and "oh isn't love just wonderful?" especially if or when engagement questions start to come your way. that's why i'm somewhat tentative to compose a post entirely about the topic or even type the word marriage down at all. don't get me wrong, i wholeheartedly support the legal union between two people, no matter who you are or what your gender may be... if you believe it's for you. i can say from my newly found, and perhaps still too sugary, experience that it's the single scariest and greatest move two people can make in a relationship. if you believe it's for you. so if you're ready, and are looking for reassurance from a nobody like me, i'll always say go for it. on the other hand, if the whole idea causes a near floor-soiling retch or an overall malaise to come over you, don't let others' vicarious hopes get you down. kindly ignoring people or politely opposing their beliefs is easier said than done.. but, a middle school health teacher once told me, "always do what makes you happy, and you will be." trite. very. true? i don't know. the teacher certainly thinks so.
as i look back, it kinda looks like i'm trying to tell people what to do, as if i have the answers for everything or have recently found the meaning of life. but as i sit and think and as i've seen each word forming on the screen in front of me, i realize that no matter what it looks like and who i've addressed here-- i'm not writing tonight for any readers. i'm putting this down for myself. and i also realize that i've just made one of the best decisions of my entire life.
