Yeah... not so much...

When I was a teenager I wasn't the type of person that attracted good looking women. I was always the friend.

When I was in my 20's, it wasn't much different... but I DID get my first "real" girlfriend. She weighed at least 50 pounds more than me. Didn't quite know what to do with a girlfriend, but we had a child and were married for 15 years.

When we divorced, and I started dating again, it was more of the same... the world wasn't ready for someone that was nice and genuine as me. I had a lot of first dates.. not very many 2nd dates. I dated a few women - but none of them lasted over 3 months. Primarily because I didn't want to compromise. I couldn't be in a relationship with someone that was shallow or needed to be in a relationship. In my mind, I raised one wife, couldn't raise another one.

So, now I'm in my early 40's... I met this incredible woman... married her. 

More on this topic later... 

catching up...

Okay... so, I was doing this strange countdown until my marriage... right? Well... the task has been done. We're married now. The one thing that I'm sure of is that I've chosen well. I have chosen the most incredible woman that matches my personality well.

Why is it so important that she match my personality? Why can't we match each others personality?

That, my friend, is a good question...

My personality can be a little... obnoxious. I admit it.

I like open and honest communication. Even if it makes me uncomfortable. I really want to know what's going on inside your head.

I don't like leaving things unresolved.

I obsess over problems or open action items.

More later... just wanted to bring the countdown to closure...

8 Days...

   In 8 days and 13 hours I will be a married man.

   People ask me 2 questions now, which are pretty annoying to me:

1. Are you nervous?
2. Are you excited?

   When I answer no to each question, people always say "I would be..."

   Okay, so maybe it's no to being nervous... because I chose well...

   Excited... not so much... annoyed is more like it. Why did we choose a date so far out???!!!
