Say WHAT!?

Posted by on 10:42 am

The other night my husband and I were talking about his insurance plan that we have through his employer.  The human resources pro at his work is named Kim, so and we were talking about how she had helped him with some insurance stuff pertaining to Jonah’s birth.

Then my husband says, “Kim is coming over to hang out with me tonight after you and the kids go to bed.”

ME:”Um..WHAT?”

HIM: “Kim is going to hang out with me tonight.”

ME: “No she’s not!”

HIM: “She? I said KEN. KEN is coming over to hang out with me tonight.”

Me: “Ohhhhh KEN ha ha ha ha ha!”

Ken is one of hubby’ best friends.  He only lives a few blocks away, and they often hang out after their wives and children have gone to bed.

Hubby does NOT hang out with women he works with after I go to bed!

Just goes to show you how easily things can get out of hand when someone says ONE thing and you HEAR another!

The makers of Alka-Seltzer and my friends at the Motherhood.com asked me to post on this subject (how did they know I’d have a story?  How?) because Alka-Seltzer has a great Said/Heard Mishaps Contest going on over at their Facebook page and you could win big by telling your Said/Heard Mishaps story!  DO you have a funny story to tell?  I’d love to hear it in the comments!  Or you can go over to Alka-Seltzer’s Facebook page and tell them for a chance to win!

He liked it. So, he put a ring on it.

Posted by on 7:45 am

That’s right, before Beyonce was Beyonce and Jay-Z probably went by the name Chester or something cool like that, I met a boy named Bobby Rapson in the sixth grade.  He was the new kid.  And he liiiiked me.

I thought he was nice.

But he was persistent, and after a couple years he captured my heart.  And then he ripped it out and stomped on it.  (He doesn’t like it when I talk about that part.)  And then a couple of years later, he captured it again.  This time for good.  And then a few years after that, he put a ring on it.  A very nice ring!  And then another.  And now, it has been, I can’t  believe I am writing this, ten years.

Ten years ago today, Bobby and I took our vows in front of God and everybody.  TEN YEARS!  We’ve been married for ten years.  We were kids playing house, but somehow we transitioned into adults living life and even giving life to our own children.

Inside Bobby’s wedding ring, I had the French phrase Vous et nul autre engraved.  This is partly because I was a French minor in college and thought French was cool, but mostly because it translates “You and no other”.  It was sweet, and romantic for me as a 22-year-old bride to put a ring with that saying on my new husband’s finger.  But  it was also serious and intentional.  And every day that we are together, it becomes more so.  Our marriage has been about so much more than just the one day.  It has been about, with God’s help, choosing each other, and only each other, every single day.

Bobby has chosen me again and again when I have not been the most lovable, beautiful, or sweet girl around.  And I have done the same for him.  Because we said we would.  And it has been so very worth it.

I love you, Bobby Rapson!  Let’s choose each other again tomorrow.  After we celebrate tonight!
