Defending my marriage.
I have had to defend my marriage twice this week.
Once, to a peer. And another, to a close relative.
Both circumstances alluded to “the long haul” of marriage – whether or not we could “make it” for over 50 years. Whether or not we will last because we’re young.
Let me say this loud and clear.
Kris and I are joined forever. Man and wife. Bonded before the Lord. ONE with Him.
There is no other option or alternative.
We will be married until the day we die.
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 5:24-33

got me a great one.
I am in the middle of a really hectic work week. Things have just been bananas. Last night, I came home, put my PJ’s on, got in bed, and vegged out for 3 hours, only to emerge to watch LOST.
Tonight, I got home at 7:15 after running around all day, and Kris called earlier to tell me he was going to the grocery store to handle getting some “essentials” for our week.
What a surprise – the grocery store is one of my tasks!
I pull in the driveway and walk inside.
The washing machine is running.
The dog has been fed.
The house has been picked up and the lights are on.
My slippers are set out at the foot of our bed, and my favorite throw is folded on the couch with my laptop (already hooked up to the power cord!) laid on top. I have strict instructions to get in my PJs.
Now that he’s returned home, I’m sipping on a little glass of Coke and snacking on herb pita chips (one of my favs) that he picked up for me.
And I hear him chopping lettuce – chopping lettuce, people – in the kitchen.
I got me a great one.

Serious business.
A lot of girls worry about never being a bride. But that’s not exactly my problem…
What if I’m never a bridesmaid?
So I can’t say that I had a ton of successful girl friendships result from college, and most of my closest girl friendships now are with other married girls. I’m sitting on the couch with Kris looking at Facebook pics of some girls from my sorority and they’ve been in fifty gazillion weddings and I’m like, “What if I’m never a bridesmaid?”
What does this say about my character? Am I a bad friend? Or am I just not a “top tier” friend?
These are very unsettling thoughts. I even got a little jelly of Katherine Heigl’s character in 27 Dresses.
But being a bridesmaid isn’t always a great thing.
These dresses make me want to let “My colors are blush and bashful!” drip from my lips.

What you should get your man for Christmas.
My husband is hijacking my blog (actually, I’m guilt tripping him strongly encouraging him to “be spontaneous” and help his wifey out by sharing his fabulous suggestions with you all). He’s taken a moment to gather his thoughts in, and I quote this word for word, “a quiet place where there’s no pressure. And where there’s a Beagle Bull.” Of course, I can’t help but comment, so my thoughts are in red for CHRISTMAS.
What does he want?
I am not a blogger…therefore you can call this one kind of a forced guest blog. (Can you feel the love tonight…)
If you are a good little wife and are looking for that perfect Christmas gift for your husband, I am going to give you three clues on what will make him remember your gift in ’09.
Clue #1 – Don’t buy him clothes (All I gave him last year was clothes)
Clue #2 – Think about what he would rather be doing if he wasn’t hanging out with you (What do you mean? You don’t want to hang out with me?)
(I kid.)
Clue #3 – Make sure none of his friends have anything like it (I guess you can equate it to women and shoes… nobody likes a copycat)
Now if these clues don’t make any sense to you… you’re in trouble. However, if you need further help, please leave a comment in the box. (And I will make sure he responds. Yay Kris Meade!)

I am so looking forward to waking up in the morning.
So much so, in fact, that it’s going to be hard for me to get to sleep because…
My husband walked in the door at 5:30 today with a little gifty for his bride! Wanna know what it was?!
A brand-new FRENCH PRESS and a pound of Starbucks Anniversary Blend!
GLORY! Kris sure does know my love language… coffee!
