Its Snowing

So living in Northern NJ you expect crazy, unpredictable weather but snow in October is a little shocking. As I went to go to lunch today it was raining, but as I sat in the cafeteria and looked outside I thought I was dreaming when little white balls starting dropping for the sky. Sure enough I go back outside to walk to my buildings after lunch and its snowing.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good snowing but not in the middle of October. What happened to fall?

Naive

So I can across this article this morning while searching the web, entitled the 7-month itch.

"I know you don’t want to hear this, but newlyweds are cheating. The numbers are gnarly; 15 percent of women and 12 percent of men under the age of 35 reported cheating within their first year of marriage! The worst part: Since these stats came from people who admitted it, relationship therapist Dr. Bonnie Eaker said she suspects the real number is more than half.
Although Eaker’s estimate is interesting, I'm not sure I agree.

I know a ton of couples who've made the long walk down the big white aisle, and while, sadly, many haven't made it past the three-year mark, I can only think of one where infidelity was a factor. I guess the real question is, why does anyone cheat within the so-called honeymoon phase? My guess is that these are people who just can't come to terms with what real marriage is.

In short: not a perfect paradise full of roses and gumdrops and sexy-twinkly lighting 24/7. Eaker says (this I actually do agree with) that infidelity is not really a decision, but monogamy is. I have long maintained that at some point in their lives, every person will come to a place where they will have to actually work to stay faithful. Something will happen where it will be easier and less of a "choice" to cheat, and you'll have to choose to protect your relationship."

My thoughts from this article:
1. I am naive, because I was surprised by the number of people who are cheating within their first year of marriage.

2. If you are cheating within the first year of marriage.. maybe you married the wrong person.

3. If you are cheating with your first year of marriage.. maybe you weren't ready to be married in the first place.

Bad very bad

So I know I know I have been a very bad blogger. I started this blog because I thought it would be fun and exciting, but well that was short lived since I realized:

1. I didn't have much to say

2. No one really read my blog

3. I might possible be boring

Although all of the above may be true, I decided to give it one more try and see if I can become a regular blogger. I thoroughly enjoy reading other people's blogs so maybe just maybe someone will be interested in reading mine.. so here goes again.

Since I have posted since June, lets see what's new since then. My friend Kristen and I started a baking business and slowly but surely we are getting customers and have a bunch of orders in the near future.

Besides my regular job, I decided to get a part time job at BBB (Bed Bath & Beyond). Will isn't home at night since he is working so I thought it would be fun and some extra money. It has its benefits but working 2 jobs is a lot sometimes but I am making it work or trying to at least.

Will and I have been married for a little over 6 months now and it has been a decent first year of marriage. Like most people money is tight right now but we are trying to live our lives and enjoy each other.

The puppies are doing good and as sweet as ever.

Well I guess that is all I have to say right now.. but I promise to try to update more often now.
