A catch-up on the last six months: I postponed running (not by choice), got engaged, sold my condo, put my cat up for adoption, and learned how to pack all my clothes into a small closet.
So, the marriage part.
Brett and I were married two weeks ago, on July 31. And leading up to the Big Day, and just after it, we had many words of unsolicited advice and comments.
Here are some of them:
* “Is this your first marriage? There’s a 50 percent chance it will last.”
* “Oh, you’re so romantic now. Just wait 30 years.”
*”When you’ve been married a few years, you can just tell them to shut their mouths”
I don’t know, sometimes you say things without thinking, and I know I do that too. But I really hope I think harder before saying things like that to my newly engaged friends, even if it is in jest.
