https://emilygraceenger.wordpress.com/about
Married to this man. I’m a June bride, 2011. As an aspiring, wannabe novelist, my child-self romanticized the studious cat lady living the single life by a seashore. Odd children sometimes grow up to be lucky. Instead of being the stalwart single, I married young. Young enough to continually be peppered with So you’re not pregnant? Throughout my entire engagement. On a more practical note. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:. Enter y...

My Priest | married to this man
https://emilygraceenger.wordpress.com/2014/03/08/my-priest
Married to this man. Asymp; Leave a comment. My husband has a very unique gift: people talk to him. I don’t just mean they converse; I mean they open right up and confess to murder! You have no secrets once you shake hands with John. Somehow, despite your best reservations, your mouth loses its filter and all your well-hidden motives tumble out. Suffice it to say, we don’t have many secrets in our marriage. At least, not from my end. At this point, I’m thinking. But this comment is quickly funneled throu...

Scooped | married to this man
https://emilygraceenger.wordpress.com/2013/09/06/scooped
Married to this man. Asymp; 1 Comment. Scoop: Originally journalistic lingo, it means someone else “dug up” a story before you did. Oh no, John mumbled. I asked, misunderstanding. We’ll just walk around it and make another trip. I didn’t know what the package contained, but I knew its intent: my birthday is this weekend. No, I forgot to get ice. Your mother specifically texted me today and told me to buy ice. I’ve just been so busy lately, it slipped my mind. It was a Ninja blender. And not the big, ...

Gifts | married to this man
https://emilygraceenger.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/gifts
Married to this man. Asymp; 1 Comment. John came home from work last night with a surprise. Apparently he was offered some industrial-strength fridge magnets at work. (See photo below.). He was displeased with my nonchalant thank-you, however. Why aren’t you more excited that I got you something? I always assumed women made things pretty easy on men. We have the list of staples that are fool-proof, for when your Significant Other just isn’t a rocket scientist: Flowers. Chocolate. Jewelry. Next post →.

Chapter 3 | married to this man
https://emilygraceenger.wordpress.com/2014/05/12/chapter-3
Married to this man. Asymp; Leave a comment. When John and I moved to New York, I wrote a blog post called Chapter 2. Now that we’ve circled back to Minnesota, I figured it would only be right to follow up with another reflection and record of anticipation about our next phase. It’s a Monday afternoon, a wet and miserable day. The rain isn’t hard, but it just keeps falling! Despite my dismal rant, Chapter 3 continues to fill me with excitement and anticipation. How could it not? Larr; Previous post.

Married to this man. Asymp; 4 Comments. Nope I’m Midwestern: somehow both busy and lazy simultaneously. And every once in awhile I remember, Oh that’s right. I blog, don’t I? I don’t really like Valentine’s Day. I know I’m in the one category that should: the happily and healthy married. And I do think that love is worth celebrating. But my eye rolling and mumblings of fake holiday invented by greeting card companies to make money rival any crotchety man a la Ron Swanson from. Or Luke Danes from. It wasn...

Married to this man. Asymp; 1 Comment. Everyone does it. Okay I. It all gets to the same destination eventually. Well, last week we did the annual Christmas tree take down. On second thought, let’s not use the word “we,” because in fact, I did all of it. To be fair, he did offer assistance but the only thing I felt I needed him for was muscle to haul it outside. So after. Spent the afternoon stripping it and. What in the world…? I defended that he would have done the same thing in my stead but he still m...

Hiding | married to this man
https://emilygraceenger.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/hiding
Married to this man. Asymp; 1 Comment. It’s a crisp late afternoon and I just put on a pot of tea. I’m watching the first snowfall of the season as the day stretches into dark evening. I’m in a reminiscing mood. Fast forward a bit, skipping how he actually introduced himself (an interesting story in its own right, but for another day.) It was only a once-a-week, evening class. 8221; seemed waaaaay too high school. If I could have switched and attended different concerts than what I told him, I would ...
