Thank You JeLisa Sterling-Smith

JeLisa is Gung-ho to say the least, about her marriage to Galen. Not surprisingly, that is the way it is supposed to be. Her blog has been an inspiration to April and I and it meant a lot to have her agree to guest blog.

Thanks again JeLisa and again to you Chris for starting things off in January. If anyone else is interested in guest blogging for Morning Erection, there are still openings for September through December of 2010. Several people have come forth and would definitely be a guest but the name of my blog is prohibitive. Let me just say, I understand. It’s more important to stick to your convictions than to have a guest blogger. Leave a comment below if you are interested so I can contact you. Enjoy the rest of your day and hopefully enjoy the Indianapolis Colts win the Super Bowl tonight!

Guest blogging on March 6, 2010 will be Nathan Pralle from PhilosYphia. If you have never visited his site or read any of his posts, head on over for a visit and get a taste of what you will get here in March. Thanks.

Lewis and Clark were accompanied by York, a black slave, when they made their 1804 expedition from Missouri to Oregon. York’s presence aided in their interactions with the Native Americans they encountered. Sacagawea also accompanied Lewis and Clark on their thousands of miles journey.

Guest Blogger, JeLisa S.

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.
