Introducing JeLisa S. from …And The Lived Blogging Happily Ever After
Welcome JeLisa S. When you are finished reading this tribute to the great institution of marriage; click on over to her site and read more exciting posts. In addition, it would be a great gesture if you left comments below for JeLisa to enjoy. Her guest post is a sacrifice for her because it means she’s neglecting her own blog, and of course it is a great honor for me to be able to have a guest blogger. As a favor to me show JeLisa the courtesy you might want shown to you if you were a guest writer on someone elses blog. Leave plenty of comments and visit her site. It’s fascinating. Thanks.
You Might Make Others Wanna Gag, But At Least The Two Of You Will Be Closer.
I was never the girl who pictured donning the perfect wedding dress and living happily ever after with some awesome guy. I was, instead, the girl who pictured donning the perfect stilettos and living single-ever-after with my awesome self.
But these days, I’ve found myself somewhere in the middle – I did don the perfect stilettos {and still do!}, but I donned them with the perfect wedding dress. And while I haven’t let go of my awesome self and am, in fact, living happily ever after, I happen to be sharing that with an awesome guy, too.
And now…I think we just might be one of {those} couples.
You know the ones. They’re super in love, dorkily happy together, bound to random acts of P.D.A., finish each other’s sentences, and are even caught in coordinating outfits every now and then…
Try not to hate me…or gag. :/
Thing is, as barf-inducing as it might be, it really blesses my life to be hanging out with someone who not only doesn’t judge my dorkiness, but is willing to join me in it every now and then. And just in case you wanna be one of those annoying couples, too, here are some ways to get the corny rolling.
———
1. Grab a camera, act like you’re good photographers, and go be tourists in your own city.
———
2. Go for a walk. Preferably a long one. :)
———
3. The good old standy – a picnic in the park.
———
4. A little breakfast and Wii in bed, anyone?
———
5. Take in a sunset somewhere neither of you has ever seen one before.
———
6. Grab some crayons, forget you’re adults, and color together. Yes, really.
———
7. Speaking of forgetting you’re grown ups, spend an afternoon riding bikes around your neighborhood together.
———
8. Take turns finding – and trying – restaurants famous for each other’s favorite food.
———
9. Of course, the beach will never get old!
———
10. Spend the night on the couch staring into each other’s eyes and drawing hearts on the bottom of each other’s feet.
;)
Hehe. I’m totally kidding. Even I would gag at that one.

You know, I’m never surprised by how much people enjoy your posts because I see the beauty you embody everyday. It is, however, weird to think that the reason people enjoy your marriage blog so much is because you blog about your marriage (duh), but even more than that… you married me… whoa. I’m a lucky, blessed and happy man, :-). It helps to be reminded of that. I love you, wife!

I think you’re a cute couple and more people should be like the two of you. I believe Dionne Warwick said it best, What the World Needs, Is Love Sweet Love. Thanks again JeLisa and thanks Galen for allowing her.

I’ve never pictured myself as the happily ever after type either, but obviously the perfect man changes that. Love all the cute pictures and as usual…all the LOVE! Great post:-)
