I’m a Married Man!!

Monday morning I woke up feeling like a new man. Maybe I was a new man? I woke up a married man. It felt great. I sure was in a good mood. It was nice having the stress of putting together our own wedding behind us. Everything worked out perfectly in the end. Sure, it had some surprises but what wedding doesn’t, I suppose? It was a new week of a new chapter in life and I was very excited.

Yvette and Teegan had a date in Dallas Monday night to watch the Cincinnati Bengals play the Cowboys. We were all going for the Bengals. Fuck them Boys!! I might should have gone but I didn’t want to hang out in the hotel room all night while they were at the game. They have had this in the works for a long time. I was excited for them. Teegan and her have seen these tow match up many of times now. The Bengals are their team. It’s good they keep this tradition. I know she had hesitation being that it was right after the wedding but honestly I was all for them going and having a good time. My feels were not hurt. The game was a damn good one from the little I was able to watch. I was actually jealous. I’ve gotten much more into football this year. I was NOT when they bought the tickets. Haha. The Bengals!! YAY!!! The Cowboys lost in glorious fashion. They keep finding new ways to lose. I was happy for Teegan. They saw a really good close game.

The week was weird with weather. So our wedding day the temps were cloudy, wet and in the 50s. The next day in the 60s with full sun. Monday it reached the mid 70s. Tuesday it was back to cloudy and cold with a high in the 40s. Yikes. The low Wednesday morning was in the 20s. Why don’t we jump back to the 70s to end cap the week. The rollercoaster ride is something else. Good thing I just finished my antibiotics and am seemingly well.

Our dating anniversary was on Tuesday so I made reservations to go out and have a nice dinner. BIGA Bistro. We went once before way back in August and had a nice dinner. It’s a fine dining establishment so I felt what better time to go. Unfortunately when we got there the Resturant was closed. Or so we thought. They moved locations but didn’t have any notifications saying so. I called and called with no answer and was a little pissed. We went down the street to another nice location I had not been in year and she had never been. Peasant Village. My parents went there every week on a date night. Anyhow, the food was good and we had fun. We do the best. After dinner we built a fire and had a nice toasty night.

It seemed that we were not just yet done with the woman that rented us the venue for the wedding. She was still insisting upon money for a service that was never in the contract that we did not agree upon. A service which my guest did most of the work anyways. I stopped communicating with her after the BS she pulled the morning of our wedding claiming that we still owed money when we should have been all squared. I was going to let Yvette bite into her on this one. This woman is an example as to how not to run a business.

With Thanksgiving being so late and our wedding the following weekend, Christmas has just snuck right up on me. I still had gifts that I needed to purchase. It was hard to wrap my mind around the fall semester coming to a close but finals were underway and graduation was looming. Maybe the time accelerated due to all the wedding anxiety. I don’t know. What I knew is I needed to get it in my head that the holiday was here. Listening to Christmas music all day was helping.

I will say that the campus is winding down quick. Come Friday it was a ghost town. We all like the little quiet after the busy end of semester. I decided to hand out my candy canes with my Santa hat, as tradition. I’m a

“Fatman” is the Christmas movie of the night. I found this to be an entertaining watch. A hit is placed on Santa by a sniveling little rich shit who received a lump of coal. Of course, Santa happens to be a bad ass and we get some cool action scenes involving elf’s with guns. Who doesn’t want that? Mel Gibso and Walton Goggins are always epic.

Friday. My goodness was it ever slow. I had to find things to do to keep myself busy. I did what I traditionally do, give out candy canes across the campus. I like doing that and it’s amazing the smiles people give back. It’s my way to say thanks to all the kind people across the university.

That night I made dinner and we cooked S’mores inside. It was a nice end cap to a nice week. Happy Friday!!!

Spicy lasagna with some green beans.

Leftover wedding reception chicken fajita meat and veggies with Spanish rice. I was too busy over the weekend setting up and having fun to ever make it to the grocery store. This was a fantastic meal, nonetheless.
