Blogathon # 13: Now I’m in trouble…

Time: 4:31pm Island Time (3:01pm EST)

As of the 29th of August, Leah and I will have been married 8 years. That’s a long time for two people to commit, and I stand in sheer amazement when I read entries about people who have passed their 20th or 30th Anniversary. Despite being so close to 10 years, I feel we have a long way to go cause we still have our moments and our fair share of fights. I usually tell a lot of people a couple that never fights don’t really love each other that much. Only people who love each other will tussle and fight. If you don’t like the person that much, they wouldn’t be worth the energy and time. After eight years I have learned so much about beign married, yet at the same time I acknowledge that I still have a great deal to learn.

As I am writing this, I’m getting a very evil “wanna kick your ass” eye from the wife. This is going to be an interesting battle of wills as I’m not going to budge on this Blogathon thing, and she can try to make my day as miserable as she wants, I’ve got over a hundred reasons to keep writing. I actually got twelve more reasons to keep going a short while ago in the form of another pledge. I’m now up to a total of $116.00 and counting. Let’s see how far up we can get this before the event is over. I’m kinda curious to see the total of that myself.

While to some this might seem like a crisis, to me… it’s a challenge. Another hurdle to overcome in order to make it to the finish line. Leah gets into these moods every now and then and you just have to ride them out. Deep down inside, she’s a caring and sweet person. While I know she’s upset now about what’s going on, deep down inside I know she supports what I’m doing. I would like to thank everyone out there who have shown their support so far, and hope that many more do as I keep writing. I feel like Jerry Lewis here… keep those pledges coming in!

I’m just kidding, or am I? See ya in 30…
