The married life
by It's good, you know? I'm still getting used to it, but I can definitely say that I am enjoying it. It's the coolest thing in the world to get to spend every day with your best friend. I love being able to tell her anything, and she wants to listen. No chaperones is great. And not having to drive 5 hours to see her is the best. Being married is such a blessing. I just love knowing that she will be there for me, always, and that I can always be there for her. Heartwarming, no?
Of course, as I said, I'm still getting used to it. I'm a lot busier, and have less time for my "single guy" things, like playing video games, and not cleaning up after myself, and sleeping late. Hahaha. Sorry, Kayla, I'm getting better!
It's definitely hard to balance certain things I want/need to do, with spending quality time with Mikayla. There's more to being a husband, and living on your own for the first time than I realized. So many new things. New responsibilities, new lifestyle, more need of the fruitages of the spirit, I have to say more prayers (for us) hahaha. But it's all good stuff! That's the coolest part! Not one thing about being married is bad, yet. Well, except for, maybe, the fact that I have to have my computer in a closet. Haahahaa.
I love you, sweetheart! And you're the best cook!

hey, did you find that people were more strict about the chaperone thing after you got engaged? (i've heard varying opinions about that)
hmm, mikayla and i both agree: about the same.
BTW, what is a chaperone??????? HAHAHAHA J/K
awww ian you are too sweet - why do you have to tell us all about your too perfect life and make us all so incredibly jealous lol
amen.... but I'm so happy for you Ian... keep Jehovah in your marriage first and foremost (both of you) and your marriage will be a success!
aww rub it in, ian. haha, now I'm really jealous.
oh, I only hope I'll be able to be that happy one day and be able to say such sweet things..of course they won't be about my wife...maybe husband though

yea right. people out there just got married and are like weird. i dont get it. ian got married right... once i get married. it's gonna be sweeettt
holy unholy holy unholy
shoot i missed that get married by 18 deal... when's the next age to get married at? Its like watchin for comets you only see them once every few years :P
I dont believe there's an age limit to get married. You can get married at 12 for all i care. But you have to truly know yourself. and know that person . and be willing to change with each other as love goes by. love each other. the love that you have to have to be with some for eternity is immense.. do you feel it..
do you see yourself jumping in front of a bullet for her..
if she gets burned in a fire and she has no face..are you still going to be there..
where have all my cowboys gone?
I'm 17, gonna be 18 in a few months..and the idea that some people get married when they're my age, is..mind blowing. Maybe I'm very immature or something, but I could never even think of it. I like doing little kid stuff still..and having my mommy cook dinner, and my daddy pay for everything. Or perhaps I'm a social reject and I'll never be ready to get married.
it was a joke, you need some sarcastic humour lessons!
i wasn't responding to you.. just in general.. i just happened to reply to you.. but wasn't in anyway knocking you. relax. have a drink .geez

Home by Cheryl Crow
I woke up this morning
Now I understand
What it means to give your life
To just one man
Afraid of feeling nothing
No bees or butterflies
My head is full of voices
And my house is full of lies
This is home....
I found you standing there
When I was seventeen
Now I'm thirty-two
And I can't remember what I'd seen in you
I made a promise
Said it everyday
Now I'm reading romance novels
And I'm dreaming of yesterday
This is home
I'd like to see the Riviera
And slowdance underneath the stars
I'd like to watch the sun come up
In a stranger's arms
I'm going crazy
A little at a time
And everything I wanted
Is now driving me away
I woke this morning
To the sound of beating hearts
Mine is full of questions
And it's tearing yours apart...
That's the sweetest thing you've ever said.
yes no yes no yes no yes yes OOOOH shampoo is bettuh!!
i dunno about being single till 30, thats a bit long for me :P But marriage isn't somethin to rush into, i have seen a few marriages gone bad of those who got married at 18~21. To me getting married that young is stupid but to each his own. Not me whose stuck for eternity with someone i dont like anymore :)
wow 30... i think of all the people that said that... HA.. get real.. you wont last till ur 24... i said i hated girls.. i didnt wanna get married EVER.. i was gonna go to be bethel and be a hot man on the loose all my life... nah.. not even close... i never believe anyone when they say they wanna be single till they are 30... they usually go first... betcha a kick in the butt... haha
I used to think the same way. I thought I'd go to school, get a good job, my own place, then think about marrying someone. But then you click with that one person that can relate to you like no one else can...you do the work it takes to keep your relationship going...you realize that you won't be happier without that person...you get married. Logical, right? I never wanted to get married because of the horrible divorces my parents had. I thought I'd end up like them, but instead, I LEARNED from them, and I know that my boyfriend and I won't make the same mistakes. :) :)
I was the same way, too. when everyone a little bit older than me was getting married, it freaked me out. In fact, I pretty much ran from any possibility of a relationship till I was about 20. then I kinda started thinking about it, and then I got to know mike, and well, *sigh* :) I can't wait.
what? you lie! you didnt like girls when you were 13. once you hit like 15, you couldnt get enough
no matt.. i was a normal guy.... you on the other hand was a GAY flamer!!!!!!!!!
dude enough with the gay jokes, it's almost like you're trying to cover something up by directing it at me
hahhaha.. im kidding around matt.. chill
yes i notice alot of gay jokes by mike, maybe he is homophobic or *gasp* really gay!
no.... thats what matt doest to me.. so i get him back for it
so uhhh you come here often ;) ? That was a joke people for those minus a sense of humour
IWZ, people ask me how does it feel to have Ian leave home. Since we are designed to leave our parents and start our own family it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The real reason for feeling okay about it is that Kayla is a wonderful girl, she takes great care of you, and you two look so darn cute together! I'd just like to add this last thought; visiting our house is still highly encouraged.
this circuit overseer asked me once when i was getting married and i was like uh.. 26 maybe. he's like no you aren't you are waiting until 30 so you can go to bethel because once you get married you are gonna wanna have kids and then you never get rid of them and parts of your life with jehovah gets put on hold. i was like hold on now. he totally lost me but i get it now.
actually, isn't it easier for a woman to get into bethel by getting married?
yes. women pretty much dont have a chance unless that have some really, REALLY needed skill. so unless you're a dentist, it's not very likely to be called.
(btw, julia....if that CO was brother adams, he got married when he was 20 years old *wink*)
and since most women don't have any skills...
over the past few days i realized how much matt is a SCHOVINISTIC (sp?) my goodness boy youre going to get beat down!
maybe i just mean tina. you know i'm just kidding around. she's mad because at the boardwalk the other day our two groups were trying to find each other, and we were on cell phones and she was trying to tell us where they were. and at that moment we were literally 50 feet from each other, and she sends us in the COMPLETE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!! WHY!!??
hahahahahhahahaha maybe i did it on purpose... HA ever think of that!? hahaha
no ur not smart enough for that either tina, AND ur a woman on top of it!
aha BUT the reason she would be clever enough to come up with a spur of the moment cunning plan like that IS BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!
im not a girl... not yet a woman... all i need is time.... (lol)
and a LIFE!!!!!!!
hahaha you got me!
man women can't spell either. ahaha.
nope, thats just me, im a terrible speller
sweetie its CHAUVINIST - i like ur version better tho ;)
Malibu-barbie girl..maybe he has some special plan for you. Like, maybe he's trying to hook you up with someone but he's just too young but by the time you're 30 it won't matter anymore! Besides..you can't get married because you're gonna have to move in with me in Florida because I'm not allowed to live with Ness because..that wouldn't be good.
oh ok
hahahhahaha it wouldn't look good. like the two of us would look any better.
i can see why the israelites left newly-married men alone for a year. they need at least a year for all that lovey-dovey stuff to wear off. ;)
btw, ian...learn to say 'no'. (and keep up with ur personal AND family studies.)
Remember my #1 suggestion for a happy marriage.
