According to Kasi: November 2013

Boring

I knew marriage wouldn't be different just because of a sheet of paper

But sometimes I just want to be dated, treated like we are still just dating.

Like theres still something to lose.

As in, planned dates (not by me)

Surprising me with flowers, jewelry, anything?

Offering to massage my back without me asking

etc.

I'll admit I got caught up in the "romanticized relationship"

That probably doesn't exist in real life

Which is why it was perfect timing for me to find this article:

"The Real Truth About Boring Men"

I cried.

The ENTIRE time.

How selfish of me to think that every time Robert took out the trash

And every time he cleaned up the dishes from dinner

or made me dinner

Or rubbed my feet

Or went to a store he didn't want to

wasn't romance.

My favorite quote was:

"There are Fridays. And the quiet romantics who will take out the garbage without fanfare. There will be the unimaginative calendar by the fridge, with all it’s scribbled squares of two lives being made one. The toilet seat will be left predictably up. The sink will be resigned to its load of last night’s dishes."

The toilet seat will always be left up

That doesn't mean my husband doesn't love me

Or that he's doing it to be spiteful.

It means he's a man.

And it happens.

Love isn't youtube proposal videos with a million likes

Its the day to day "boring" life

And still being in love

And still wanting to be there to carry them from the tub and pull up their depends.

Cheers to that.

That Time of Year

It's that time of year again... engagement season.

I am super excited because some of my friends are getting engaged soon

(She does not know it but I do)

And I couldn't be more excited.

Then we jump into wedding season.

Two of my friends are getting married between Dec -April.

Weddings make me so happy

Although I will enjoy weddings much more when I get my date back

(So far we've been to 1 wedding TOGETHER since 2011)

Although by the time he is not in any more weddings

I will probably start being in more.

#storyofmylife

I love weddings and engagements enough that I've still been pinning to my wedding board

(over 4 months later... embarrassing)

Here are some of my post wedding pins:

I found these engagement shots from DISNEY!

I would have died.

So even though I can't obviously do this now

I couldn't help but pin it.

I am obsessed with Kelly Clarkson's dress.

I would not have done sleeves in July

But if I were to renew my vows I may have to do it in October

So I can wear this dress.

I love this shot.

I still think I can make Robert do this for our "anniversary shots"

(that he doesn't know yet that we are doing that).

This is one of the only shots that I wanted from my wedding that I didn't get

Because Robert was belligerent

And when I tried to get him to dip me he tried to dip in my arms.

Damn it, Bobby!

Finally, I have a secret wish.

I love my engagement ring and I'm more than happy with it

But I kind of have a secret wish that one day he will re-propose

And we can renew our vows.

I just think its so romantic.

And considering I knew pretty much every step of the engagement

(my fault mostly- I was there when he bought the ring and I knew he had it for a month)

It would be nice to be surprised.

I would like the ring above but I want the center stone to be set in gold

with a yellow diamond.

Okay okay wishful thinking.

I'll be sure to post about that ~~when it happens~~ never.

Let's be honest, I married some one who thinks that getting out of bed

To fart in another room instead of on me is romantic...

What can you do?
