times change

one of the greatest things about being married is the fact that you can talk about things that may have been embarrassing before but now that i have landed the man, i can throw caution to the wind. like i have no fear to say, "honey, do i have b.o (or bo as we call it)" and if he says yes, i am not embarrassed. i can also ask the same about bad breath. and then not even worry about it. this would have been so embarrassing to me in the dating world. so nice. also there is the fact that we can talk about the future and things like children's' names. like now he can know that i have names i like and if a new name comes out, i can ask him about it instead of pretending that i (as a single girl) have never thought further ahead into my future to imagine children. so now that we can talk about it, i find it coming up quite often. i like to test out the naming waters. fun. when i was a wee lass i thought for sure that i wanted twins and i wanted them to be a boy and girl. their names were going to be brittney and braxton or brittney and breanne. so beautiful in my mind. well my tastes have changed a little but i also think maybe we should go with the theme names. i mean i come from a family where all of our names start with m- mike, marnae, megan and matt. so we could do all the same letter names. there is also using the letters of the alphabet. in my hometown there was a family who named their kids abcde etc. they had twins on f and ended on g. i always thought that was so cool. or we could go with an interest. like another family from my neck of the wood who have (no lie) justa cowgirl, brody o, arena raycin and destry corral. wow. that is all i have to say. i feel sad those names are already taken. so we have some great ideas if we ever have some kids. not yet but someday. i can just see britt and bre hanging out right now with derek and braxton and branden.

I heard of siblings named "Orangejello" and "Lemonjello" (pronounced "ore-ON-jello" and "luh-MON-jello"). I guess their parents really liked Jello.

Remember Robin Hood? I remember the cowboy themed family too. I think you should give all your kids Muslim names.
