I haven't thought too much about getting married and stuff lately. There are too many other things going on. But last Sunday, Haley and her husband invited me over to watch football. They wanted to introduce me to a friend of theirs (who was actually really cool, so we'll see where that goes). But hanging out at Haley's, I looked around and realized she has exactly what I want.
They live in a cute house. They go to church on Sunday mornings, then all his buddies come over for football for the rest of the day. There is lots of drinking and yelling as they run back and forth between tv's, trying not to miss anything. Their adorable 3 year-old son was running around pretending to kill people with his sword, which, of course, the guys were more than happy to play along with. They were also teaching him about football in between the killings. Haley was watching the game from the kitchen where she was baking pumpkin bread, which made the house smell delicious. It was just one of those moments where I thought, "This is what I want."
Being married can be fun, not like so many other couples I know seem to portray it. You can set your own rules; you can be whatever kind of couple you want. I want my Sundays to be like that- having a house full of friends watching football, baking and playing hostess. I mentioned this to Haley, and she is pretty confident she can make this happen for me. After all, she did hook up Rachel and Mico. I don't know if I want that here in Phoenix, but this is the first time in a long time I knew exactly what I wanted in the next 10 years.
