Hello and welcome to my blog. This is my first attempt at doing anything like this so hopefully I stay committed to it and keep everyone laughing along the way. The title of this blog, “You Said ‘I Do’!” was directly pulled from the mouth of my wonderful, loving, opinionated, never-short-of-extra-pennies-for-her-2-cent-contributions…my mother. She often reminds my husband Alex of this decision he made on May 18th 2008, when he promised to take me as his wife. So yes, Alex, and ALL men out there that said “I Do!” this blog is for you!
I often remind myself that I said those 2 words that fine day. This pops into my head when I am staring at my husband…you know, in that way where you could have sworn that you never met that person in your life. Like after some outlandish behavior or absurd comment, or best yet, a familiar discussion that has occurred on oh let’s say, 15 prior occasions! I say to myself, did I really say “I Do”? Commit myself to this looney-toon for the rest of my life? I have received reciprocal looks back from him…where his eyes are saying “who is this crazy woman and how can I transform her??”
This blog is not a marriage bashing forum. I love my husband more than I probably will be able to show him in our lifetime. It is just that constant reminder that in a relationship, no matter how long you’ve been together (us going on 7 years) that every day you learn something new about the other person. And every day, you will re-live a day you’ve already lived…good and bad.
My hope that in this blog, I will share funny stories of present day, those “Seriously?” moments, updates on our precious baby girl, and everything else going on my life. I am a wife, a mother, and everything else in between. I wear all of these hats, often concurrently, with pride.
Thanks for checking in and hope that you return to hear all about what’s going in the Wilhelm world.
lots of love, laura
