Marrying the Hons, um wait, didn't you already do that?!

Yes I am married, and have been for, well, almost 6 months now. Any one want to work it out exactly for me? Maths was never a strength of mine. Nor was counting come to think of it. Anyways, I'm getting off topic. Geez, I let this blog slide, eh? Sorry about that. Getting married turned out to be more time consuming than I expected it to be and I am also just very bad at carrying things through. Yet another thing for me to work on - so far in just a few sentences: math and finishing things. I wonder how many will be listed by the time I'm done here tonight? There's a prize for whoever can find the most! Just kidding. There is no prize. Except honour.

So. Anyways. I've decided to restart blogging, and to keep blogging on this particular blog. "But," I hear you ask in confusion, "this blog is called 'Marrying the Hons' and you've already done that. Doesn't that make the blog a bit passé? Shouldn't you just move on?" And that is where you would be wrong.

The other day Patrick and I were listening to a Tim Keller (ooooh we love Tim Keller) talk about marriage where he described sex as the act of renewing the marriage covenant with each other. How beautiful is that image? It also really resonates with me. From the very beginning I have often said that marriage for me is deciding to marry the Hons every day afresh. There haven't been times where that has been hard yet (the other day, ok today, I told someone that every day is Valentine's Day in our house. To which the man responded "You celebrate the beheading of a Christian every day?" ha. ha. No, Sir. We don't. And you just ruined the admittedly slightly sickening romance of my sentiments.) I do know that the times will come where it has to be married. I want to put in the practice now of actively making the choice to marry my husband every day. So that is how I can justify keeping the blog up on this place.

So much to that. What I really really really wanted to do is go through the craftiness I got up to before the wedding for the wedding but my laptop has bitten the dust and refuses to do anything but make me angry so I can't get at the pictures. I will one day though so be ready to read all about how Mareike did a lot of crafting. And I sometimes helped. This is not only for your amusement, but also mine.

So there you have it. Another slightly boring (sorry about that but I am hurrying. Why am I hurrying? No reason really except now my husband is done showering and I want to spend some time with him) "I-stopped-blogging-but-now-I-am-back" justification. I will post something much more thrilling tomorrow, I promise!
