I wanted to share some words of wisdom on this not so important day of March 28. Also Simpson has been hounding me to post a blog and I always want to make the big man happy.
March 28 last year I was in Vegas. For those who know me, I fit right in there. It was warm, sunny, and I think I was sitting on the patio at Margaritaville drinking a giant margarita. March 30th I was set to get married, take the plunge, etc.
I got a tremendous amount of advice from every where I looked, but with some of my guys getting older I thought I'd share the few things I've learned this past year through trial and error.
Things I learned in my first year of marriage:
#1 Remember your anniversary (not difficult as I changed my NHL Game center password to our anniversary, also my phone password, email password, and pretty much everything else I could think of)
#2 Cooking is great, a man who can cook can win any woman's heart. However, learning to cook and clean up after yourself while cooking, is ten times more valuable as a delicious meal followed by 2 hours of dishes does not a happy wife make
#3 In a condensed NHL season skipping one game a week to watch Big Brother makes you super human and, being a Jets fan, they usually have one crappy game per week...
#4 When you have a bad band practice, she can tell, she might not understand but you should explain anyways, you'll feel better and she'll feel included
#5 Being married to the most beautiful and caring woman you can find makes the first 4 very simple :) So go find a woman who takes your breath away, and puts up with your crap, even if you think you're wonderful...
One year ago today I flew to Vegas (God I wish I was in Vegas) and two days later became one lucky SOB.
To my beautiful bride,
We finally got through what we'll dub the craziest 3 years of our lives, and now this weekend we mark our 1 year anniversary. I know some days I day dream while we're in the car, I make a mess just as bad as Jacob and Bruce, and I bombard you with hair brained schemes. But I love you dearly, I have no clue what poor excuse for a man I would be if it wasn't for you. If I could marry you again on Saturday I would.
Thank you for always being you.
Happy Anniversary honey, and Happy Easter everybody else.
Sean
As a wife, I'll let you in on a little secret about the fairer sex: it's crucial that all future boyfriends and hubbies know the three most important words in a woman's life, "You're right, honey."
ReplyDelete(of course there are other famous phrases you should be practising to survive your first year of marriage, like "Yes Dear," "I'm sorry," and "Of course you don't look fat in those jeans." Plus "I love you" helps.)
Happy almost anniversary Seangie!
Thanks for giving us all your passwords. ;)
