Marriage Counseling for the comedic soul....

So today I received our marriage counseling book in the mail, to start reading with Corey, so that when we meet with our pastor (norman), we'll be up to speed with this whole process.

Corey and I began tonight by reading chapter 1, which explained what marriage is, through God's point of view: what love is, what a covenant commitment is, what visions we have for our marriage, etc.

Now if you know Corey at all, you know he's always cracking some sort of joke, or saying anything to get someone to laugh. He's like that all the time, it's not just out in public. (that's one of the many reasons why I love him)

Now, lets start with how our conversations went through Chapter 1.

The book ask us to give our definition of a covenant commitment. I told Corey that I was terrible at giving my own definition and his response, "Just write something." So.....here are our answers.

Definitions of a Covenant Commitment:

Me: Staying true and honest with you (Corey), loving, forgiving, listening and something...

Corey: A holy promise. One you can't break...or you'll fall in a pit of three headed poisonous snakes.

The book also wrote, "Just for Fun"..."What is one question you would ask God?"

Me: If he still loved me (because of all the mistakes I've made)

Corey: God do you eat food? (Which he followed with...) I mean cause if he doesn't, than how did he know what chicken tasted like and is that why everything taste like chicken because he got tired of making everything taste different.....(yeah)

Also under the "Just for Fun" section was "What's one story in the bible you would have wanted to see?"

Me: David and Goliath, or Jesus walking on water, or Jesus turning water into wine...

Corey: Ya know that story where there was a big storm...(and I'm thinking, oh when Jesus calmed the storm, that'd be cool..) and like that guy was on the boat, I don't remember his name...and then like God was like throw him over board because he had done all that bad stuff, and so they did. Yeah, I would have liked to have been there for that conversation.

Me: Do you know what the guys name was? (I'm laughing, hysterically by the way)

Corey: Jonas?

Me: Close... Jonah

Corey: Oh yeah Jonah cause he got swallowed by that whale, I know that from guitar hero. (proceeds to pick up his phone and find the song)

Needless to say it was definitely a fun night discussing a Godly marriage...

I can't wait to read the other chapters.

The Fog

I hoped tonight that the fog would swallow me whole...
that it would spit me out into a world unknown, but to my dismay, I only found myself trapped.
and that is my feeling, at the time being.
I've felt heart break, I've felt let downs, I've felt hell.
My body so weak that I could almost tell, that apart of me was ready to leave.
Leave a moment in my life that wasn't going the way I wanted it to,
because running away is much better than trying to be the knight in shinning armor, but behind that armor a scared little girl.
And who's to blame, but me.
I've tried yelling and screaming, I've tried patience, I've tried silence..
that doesn't resolve to anything except the feeling of immaturity.
But aren't we all in a sense of the word immature, we do things we regret,
and I've got too many of those to count...
I hoped tonight that the fog would swallow me whole...
all I found was a lost soul, behind to huge brown eyes..
and a lot of bad luck to go around.
So settle down into the life, that isn't perfect, isn't fine, isn't fair..
take up that god awful armor to hide whats really there.
A scared little girl, who hates the fact that life is much better under metal plates,
where she doesn't have to face reality..
I hoped tonight that the fog would swallow me whole...
