After a small Hiatus... (or awwwww, it's Valentines Day)

So, I'm back......

I won't tell you I'm only writing this again because I have so little to do at work, the prospect of beating my head against the closest hard item sounds like the most intellectually stimulating thing I will do today....

Because obviously I am only back on here and writing is because of the deep emotional bond that we have, and the fact that it's valentines day I love you dearly......

So, what have we been up to???

I count 18 months, a new house, a small horse, and more challenges than I can (or should) poke a stick at.... You know that whole thing about not poking a sleeping bear/dog, whatever.....

So it's been a while, and I would like to start with a sincere apology to you, my wife, for neglecting my blogging responsibilities, and for seeming like I may have dropped off the face of the e-world.

Sometimes, I must admit, I find you a little frustrating...... I mean, I was sure that all of the ultra irritating things I do were just meant to be part of your punishment reward for marrying me. I could have sworn that was what the for better or worse was meant to be about in the vows, right? Your better and my worse? Although in retrospect, I think I may have possibly got that one a little wrong.

In all seriousness though, I don't know how you do it.... Now I have a rather unique perspective on how..."challenging" I can be sometimes. You know, me being me and all. And I do, on the odd occasion when I have mental clarity, realise quite how much you have to put up with. And I appreciate it.

I've been thinking lately about where we go from here. Someone told me the other day that it was nice that I hadn't 'given up' on doing nice things for my wife, and I thought... do I really want to get to the point of giving up on that?... Just to confirm, I did decide that wasn't something I wanted to give up on.

So I've made a decision, and one that it may be a good idea if you were aware of... I have decided to try and live closer to that honeymoon period, when things were a little more carefree and 'fun'. 'We', and by we I mean we, should be able to act like kids, at least until we have them, a little more. So, I solemnly promise to fail miserably a whole lot at making that happen, in the hope that I will sometimes, in between the irritation I cause, cause just a little bit of that fun, happiness, and that smile that I remember so well from the 7th of August 2009.....

Happy Valentines Day

Your Husband
