On Saturday morning at 7:30 I was going to take my car to get an oil change because I am a very responsible grown up type person. Usually when I take the car to get an oil change, I drop it off early on Saturday morning and walk back to my house to wait for it to get finished. The car place is only about 6 blocks away.
This Saturday when I was leaving I woke Jay up to tell him where I was going. He insisted that I needed "an escort" because he had watched some show about a woman that was abducted in broad daylight. But he didn't want to just ride up there and walk home. OH NO. That would have been too easy. He wanted to meet me at the garage on his bike and ride home while I walked. You must understand that my husband doesn't ride a bike in athletic wear or anything. He'll ride a bike in jeans and steel toe boots if that's what suits him. He also doesn't just casually pedal, he pedals like he's trying to get away from zombies...balls out like a madman. You should also understand he was hung over and ultra ornery.
So I said, "Sure."
I went up dropped my car off and began walking home. And what do I see off in the distance? A crazy person hauling ass on a mountain bike in cargo shorts, an undershirt, crocs and let's not forget, the winter hat. It was pretty chilly out.
This is my man.
On August 14th the husband and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. He sent me flowers at work, the same flowers I had in my wedding bouquet. I've never had flowers delivered at work.
In celebration of our wedding, here is my favorite picture of us at the reception.
You know that song "Boogie Shoes?" That is totally one of our songs.
Me and the hubs on Christmas...
Jay has been really into the idea of us working out together, so I bought this 20 minute aerobic DVD, Denise Austin's Boot Camp. There is some shuffling, jumping jacks, kicks and jabs, making it the perfect workout for Jay. Nothing gives him greater joy than pretending to punch and kick someone. (Some sort of boy thing, I guess.)
So I made sure that when we started he was in front of me because I figured I could work my abs by laughing at him. For this occasion, he wore a tank top, comfy shorts, his glasses and no shoes or socks. He kept telling me that he needed to stretch and warm-up. I told him that it was okay because she does a little warm-up at the beginning.
However, when the workout began and we were moving side-to-side, he started freaking out, "NO! I need to warm up! YOU said there was a warm-up!!!!!" I said, "this is the warm-up, go a little slower."
Before you know it, we were into our first cardio interval and the lady adds a jump with the lunge and he starts freaking out, "WHAT is she doing? OH MY GOD!" But he kept going.
The fun stuff happened when we started the jabbing and kicking. He attacked that part with so much gusto I thought his shoulder was going to pop out and his arm was going to go flying across the room, or worse, he was going to accidentally knock me out with a jab or elbow. By this time, his face was bright red and he had sweat running all down his face and neck.
Then comes the part where we are supposed to do floor work, push-ups and stretches. He of course had no problem with the push-ups, I couldn't do one. But when it came time for the crunches, he starts going, "I CAN'T do that! My back! Oh no! You b!tch." (to the lady on the DVD)
It was hysterical. Here's a picture of us post-workout.
Tonight, we are doing yoga.
Last week the husband and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary. We both took the day off work and went this little town nearby that has alot of shops, then we went to see a movie. It was a great day. It doesn't even seem like it's been four years. I think I'm more in love with him now.
There was another wedding picture I wanted to post but I can't find it right now.
I just read this article on MSNBC about this lady who is happily married with twin 6-year-old sons and her and the husband live apart. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21369007/page/2/
It's pretty interesting to hear her list the pros and cons of it and surprisingly, there are a good amount of pros. I mean what married woman doesn't wish that she could decorate her house a feminine as she wants?
I could kind of see some of her points except when she started talking about how things like toe clippings and sharing a bathroom can sometimes result in the loss of sex-life. I'm not saying that stuff turns me on, (heck no!) but I can appreciate having that kind of intimacy with Jay, feeling totally comfortable with him, not being embarrassed of (GASP!) the number 2! HA! It's not sexual intimacy but it IS intimacy.
Also Jay and I are no strangers to unusual arrangements b/c we have to sleep in separate bedrooms b/c he snores like a freight train coming through the house. (Yes, we have tried breath-right strips, rolling him onto his side, a sleep study, it doesn't work. He just snores...LOUDLY.) People are always giving us their opinions of that particular facet of our relationship but hey, they don't have to close 2 bedroom doors and turn on a fan to get to sleep at night. But you know what, I don't think that I could give up the living together part. The sleepy eyes he has in the morning and periodic kisses throughout the day for no reason. I have to have that!
