Two Hours Left!!!

Typing with a ring on my finger. It was really nice. I nearly balled at the ceremony. We had a nice party, but too many people left early. Guess, I should I have sprung for some more rooms.

So here I am with an almost 13 yo who wants me to adopt him, and a beautiful one and half year old who I was going to adopt all along. My boy's dad is a loser, and he asked me again if my marriage to his mom made him a Stringfield. I told him I'd have to adopt him but I would be very proud for him to have my name.

If you all don't know me, I can be cold to those I am not romantically involved with. My boy and I connected a couple times tonight, but I definitely need to work on that relationship.

Of course, I know all the legal ramifications. But me and my rose will be together forever.

If he asks that question again tell him the same thing you did. But also tell him that you are so happy to be his Dad. (being a father is biology, being a Dad is a relationship)

Be there for him. Teach him to be the kind of man you wish you could be. Make him see that right and wrong have nothing to do with being caught. It has to do with right and wrong. Teach him that he is loved and is part of a family. Its not always happy and easy. Sometimes its tough and takes strength to get there. But nothing in this world is worth more. Teach him that no one in the family has to be strong all the times, so long as one member is strong at any time, you can lean on each other.

Teach him to value who he is. Teach him to love to read and learn, for that should never stop throughout his whole life.

Find something that the two of you enjoy doing. Whether it be fishing, watching the History channel, or playing checkers. First of all, it will bond you without having the bond go thru his mother. Second of all, it means he is hanging with the man of the house, and he can learn to be that be watching you. And lastly, it will be what he remembers when he grow up. It will teach him how to be a Dad himself. And learn to listen with your entire body. And sometimes you will have to listen when you don't want to, or when there are other things are going on. But it pays.


And its not too soon to do the same with the baby. Its less involved (and sometimes way messier), but make the baby laugh every chance you get.


And always be the romantic that your wife fell in love with. Working harder to buy her a new house, new car and vacations to the bahamas are great.

But the simple things will stir her heart more as you get onler and more settled into life.

Never buy flowers for occasions or to apologize. Buy them often for no reason at all.

Buy her chairs. If you have never seen the movie Phenomenon, rent it and watch it.

Always remember to date. Touch your wife like you mean it. A gentle touch or caress can translate so much more than your word or your presents.


I almost cried at both my weddings. It is a beautiful thing to be able to share that commitment with the one you love.

One last piece of advice. The definition of "step" is that it gets you up the stairs or out of the house. It has nothing to do with your children.

Me and Grind are going to bet on how many years the relationship lasts, FYI. But of course it's going to last forever!
 
And just like six months ago he was donating two thousand dollars to Ron Paul and bragging about how he spent more than that on hookers. It's heartwarming.
 
I wish string well in his marital endeavor.

I am just that way though, I will wish a guy good luck on the way to the gallows.
 
Jeez its a weird crowd on this site.

Maybe its why I have felt at home?
