We had our belongings in about 3 different places while we were out of our house, living in the in laws and finishing building our house. The weekend we were able to move in, only because we had a working toilet, the weatherman was calling for an all out blizzard. I tried to say we can move in and not have all of our stuff. That went over about like you can imagine. Saturday morning was a white out. After we dropped the first load off my brother and I are returning. I say “o shit” as I’m looking to my left, my brother who is a minister and I don’t think has ever sworn in his life says “o shit”. The 16 foot cargo trailer is beside us as we are going down the road. I floor the gas and somehow come out of it unscathed. We get back to the storage shed and my wife is ready to load another load. We made threee more loads that day.

There is really nothing like “splitting the driving” on a 34 hour trip and by split I mean I got the joy of 33 hours behind the wheel and 0 hours in charge of the radio.

Having her in-laws, my parents, in her house for a week. They left Wednesday, but I’m still in the doghouse for some reason.

We were arguing about me going fishing over her “birthday weekend” (not even her birthday.) I had the ace up my sleeve that I just knew would end the argument, and that was simply to say “you sound EXACTLY like your mom when you get mad.”
The argument ended. I didn’t go fishing.

Going canoeing on a rain swollen river, full of sweepers, and the only rain gear is a make-do trash bag with a hole punched out for the head and arms. High temp that day was 50, but it felt like it was close to freezing. And did I mention that the river was up, with sweepers to outmaneuver?? And her hair was a wet and droopy. And it was cooooold. AND HER HAIR WAS EMBARRASSING
We still got married, and 38 years later, we haven't gone river canoeing again.

“The walk-in closet is huge. We’ll be fine.”
“But I really think we need two walk-in closets…”
“Have you forgotten that I’m a f—ing public school teacher?!”

Home remodels are a blast. Did faux stone on the wall behind the wood stove.
Told her to pick out what colors she wanted so we could have the walls painted and be good where the stone met up in corners. She picked bright blue. I wouldn't have ever gone with that but wasn't going to go down that road.
Needless to say, not after the paint was on the wall with no masonry, only after all the masonry work was done, the decision was made that that bright blue didn't suit.
That was an awesome trip to the paint store. Lol

My late wife was a talented cartographer but her navigation instructions on road trips drove me nuts. "Gimme that gawdam map!"

Her: “We should xxxx on the house/backyard.”
Me: “Who the f^#¥ is we? You can’t screw in a light bulb.”
