More Fun With Two

Some people say that we change when we get married, other people know that we change every single day. Regardless of either viewpoint, there have been changes in my life! To start, a husband, a new apartment, more time on my hands, and a rekindled desire to return to the blogging world.

That being said, it's time to do just that. It seems only appropriate that new phases in life should be accompanied by a new blog, which leads me to explaining More Fun With Two.

A few days ago, while enjoying time on our new couch (more on that later), G discovered that Zeke (the dog we are watching for his sister) had a tick on his neck. Then, we discovered two more disgusting critters around his collar. Well, as I am not a fan of any insects myself, we removed the parasites from the poor guy and then I escaped to the shower to wash off the yuck. As we all know, the best ideas and revelations come in the shower.

So, while in the shower I said to myself, "Self, you genuinely enjoyed that gross moment there with the dog and your husband. How can that be possible?" Then I responded to myself, "I suppose it has something to do with the shared part of the experience." Now, for the record, before you all drop me into a looney bin, this was a perfectly normal shower conversation to have with oneself from what I understand.

Thus, More Fun With Two is born. Somewhere in all of this is a beautiful lesson about the necessity of community, the connection created in shared experiences, and the importance of killing ticks, but I will leave it at this for now.  Simply, if an activity must be done as one, then it should always be More Fun With Two.
