Alex and I have a give and take relationship in that we give and take a lot teasing/cr@p about things in our marriage. (This entry will probably have more added to it as thing come up)
I chose today to write about this because it is the last day of an annual 26 days razzing.
26 Days of Old: I am 1 year and 26 days older than Alex, so for the 26 days between April 3 and April 29 Alex loves to "remind me" that numbers wise I am TWO YEARS OLDER than he is. He takes such joy in pointing this out to me and anyone else who happens to be around when the subject comes up. "But I still love you" he says :-)
Did I Lie to You? (Also known as the Great Rest Stop Debate): July 2006 we are moving cross country from the DC area to Great Falls, MT. I am driving the sedan and Alex is driving a small U-Haul truck with a car trailer attached that is towing our 1992 Ford Taurus Stationwagon (affectionately known as "the blue bomber") Unfortunately due to time constraints and towing with a U-Haul we could not make this as much of a "moving vacation" as I had desired. I had wanted to visit a few National Parks and Historic Sites along the way and Alex had wanted to visit Camp Perry. We did manage to stop at The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota (a story for another entry) but other than that we were driving to Montana and only stopping when neccessary--no National Parks, no "outdoor supply stores".
Day four we are leaving Bismark, ND heading west on I-94. Shortly after a gas stop we come up on a rest area (which just also happens to be a visitors center for Theodore Rosevelt National Park). I am ahead of the U-haul and radio to tell Alex I need to stop. I take my National Parks Passport Book and go into the visitors center to get it stamped. Then I make everyone have their picture taken at the view point and the National Park Sign. Finally I go and use the restroom. Alex says I lied to him. I say I didn't. I said "I need to stop"--just because he assumed it was for a restroom does not mean I lied.
I only dated you because I didn't want to hurt your feelings: We are at an evening fellowship potluck for our adult sunday school class at Calvary Baptist in Woodbridge VA. We've been married about 18 years. We are sharing about how we met and became couples. I make a comment about when Alex asked if he could be my boyfriend I said yes because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I thought that I had told Alex YEARS AGO that had been my initial thought when he had asked that question. Apparently, I was wrong.
