Dear Kevin James: Month 2,

Prior to our wedding day whenever I pictured myself walking down the aisle to meet you, I would tear up. Sometimes it happened while I was coercing high school students to walk during their P.E. class. “BRISKLY!” I would call after their little cluster of gossip girls. And then I’d think to myself,”I’m going to walking briskly down that aisle.” It happened plenty when I was stalking wedding blogs, and I was practically inconsolable while I was typing up our vows. When that moment actually came, I didn’t cry at all. I was actually so deliriously happy that my face was actually aching from smiling too much!

Now that we’ve been married for two months, I feel a mixture between the two emotions. I want to shout at my life,”Please go more slowly! I am so happy. Slow motion, please.” I think that so often on the weekends when we are inseperable, and I never have to leave your side. I know we’ll want to have kids someday (baby Yoalba, Emmanuel, Ruby, Violet, and several blue-eyed boys who are yet to be named), but for right now whenever we see couples in a restaurant with a screaming baby we look at each other and say,”Aren’t you glad we don’t have kids?” Sometimes we just say it with our eyes if we are within earshot. We are so enjoying the moment. Especially right now when we don’t have monster Boyd around to disturb the peace!

During our second month together we got to practice doing some grown-up stuff that we didn’t really WANT to practice. Things like what to do when your husband’s boss calls on your honeymoon to say they’re shutting down the office. And selling the first house we lived in together. We moved to Denver, and started new jobs. We’ve had a lot of decisions to make and a zillion things to pray about. But you know what’s helped us out? That laugh. You know the one I do only for you. It’s totally out of control, and if I were single it would be excellent man-repellent. I developed it just for you, and those little nuggets of comedy you pull out of nowhere. You know what else helped? The way you teach me to chill out about the small stuff. I always get so annoyed when you bounce the couch/bed/wherever we happen to be sitting when I’m trying to blog. So you do it a few extra times just to teach me that it’s no big deal! And for that, I love you, Rascal Roo!

I’m so excited about our second honeymoon new life in Denver! You owe me fro-yo tonight because I’m the one who remembered it was our anniversary first! I think that’s a good precedent. Whoever remembers first gets to demand a gift from the other!
