Relationship Advice

It has been a great R&R for both of us -- I didn't realize how much I needed some time off work until I actually took it. My husband and I have: spent the night at a swanky local hotel to celebrate New Year's, gone to Beau Rivage and gambled our money, bought a new desktop computer, travelled to Dallas and cleaned the apartment (it had to be done).

Dallas was enjoyable, if hectic. As Vauda pointed out in her comment to my previous post, Justin has a lot of family members. Wonderful people, all, but trying to sit down and visit with each of them was craziness. It will be much easier to catch up with people when he's home for good. Included in the visit were cameos by Judge Hartman (the Judge I worked for during the summer after my first year of law school), Catherine (my college roommate and maid of honor at our wedding) and our friend Josh, proprietor of Crabwalk.

My favorite moments of the weekend? Those include: 1) seeing my eight year old cousin Anna fall for Justin's 10 year old cousin Skylar. After spending an evening playing video games together, Skylar asked Anna if she wanted to stay in his hotel room with him. We later informed her that she could do that. When she's 18.; 2) Having my fourteen year old cousin (who shall remain nameless, but he's Anna's brother) ask my husband for relationship advice. It seems that when he and his girlfriend make out, he gets bored and want to stop and play video games, thereby upsetting her.; 3) Talking to my sister-in-law, who related to me the story of how her four year old son told her that in order to get a husband, the first thing you have to do is "prove yourself brave" (truer words were never spoken); and 4) Talking to my father-in-law about blogs and realizing that he reads more of them than I do.
