Random Ryan -Er, I Mean Tuesday – Thoughts

randomtuesday

So I’m doing a different Meme every day this week and devoting each one to my husband in honor of our 5 year wedding anniversary.  I don’t so much do “gifts” or “recognition” on holidays, so this is my homage to him and also a way for me to avoid blabbing a bunch of personal shit that I’m not ready to tell you until next week.

I’m a thinker.

So random stuff about me and the hubs shall ensue.

We got married in Vegas.

How freaking cute are we?  Answer = very. We had such a rocking good time.  So good that I barely remember a thing.  I’m (mostly) kidding.  I remember the wedding and dancing to “Purple Rain” (not planned) as our first song, but then the shots kicked in and the next thing I know, I was in a jacuzzi with my dress still on.

He has the most random, giant Popeye-like muscles.  His college nickname was “Guns”.  No shit.  He’s like a freaking side show with the monsters.  People flock from all over just to see them and he hates showing them off because he thinks it’s “weird” (whatever that means). This picture below is him just holding the dog, he isn’t flexing at all.  I need to get him drunk and let me take a flexing picture because this doesn’t do him justice but how adorable is the puppy?!

I don’t usually throw a lot of pictures in my posts, but I’m having fun strolling down and around memory lane, so it’s what’s going to happen.

One year, we threw a Halloween party (WAY before we had kids) and I went as a baby sitter and he went as a baby.  We smeared candy on his ass to make it look like he soiled himself.  We both looked ridiculous.

We once used an electric drill to uncork a bottle of champagne.

In 5 years of marriage, we’ve only been in 3 fights.  In each, one of us was tanked and the other wasn’t.  One involved cupcakes (me wanting to eat them the next day and him using them in a rocket launcher instead).

We get our children to bed no later than 8 every night because we absolutely have to watch TV together.  It is the one constant in our lives each day and has been since we met.  TV is good.

We got hit with a wicked snow storm once so we took off to Venezuela and rented this house for $30 a day.  We played with cards, cats and each other for 10 days straight because the island went on strike and we were stranded there.  Had to contact the US Embassy just to tell our parents we weren’t kidnapped or dead.  The entire 10 days cost us about $280 (I worked for the airline and flew free).   I’m going to close with a few pictures from there because I just took my sleepy stuff and I’m about to pass out.

We had the entire island (Margarita Island) to ourselves
