is it bad that when i look at tom cruise i can't help but uncontrollably gag? he just bugs me to no end. and there was a time in my life, i think, when he made me squeal. it's not just me...right? he's like a greasy old man. with pants that are too short. ick. joey could have done so much better.
last night's class for married people was actually pretty great - i'm a huge fan of having low expectations. i mean sure i was dreading it for most of the day yesterday, but i was so sure it was going to be awful that i left feeling way more than satisfied. does that sound bad? i really didn't mean for it too.
which leads me to my next point. one of the exercises that we discussed, as a couple, was talking about other couples that we know. couples that we hope our relationship is similar too and those couples that we hope our relationship has nothing in common with...enough said. we talked specifically about one couple who we are friends with from boston. we aren't super close with either member of the couple but they are part of our group of friends and we saw them on the this last trip. there is something about this couple that is so special - like they are both better individuals when they are together. they seem happiest alone, together. and that's what we want our marriage to be.
the last few months, since leaving our community in boston and starting over in SF, i feel like ABN and i have become a better couple. i never would have thought that we needed to be better than we were before - but the change that has come from the two of us spending so much time alone, together...has been a good one. i'm looking forward to the class because we'll meet jewish couples and hopefully make friends. but i'm feeling like ABN and i are going to get a lot out of it for ourselves too. we even have homework!
and because i know you were worried....we have hot water again - unfortunately, not before we went to class.
