Day 6

Cami and I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog. We thought it would be fun to keep people up-to-date with what we were doing; after the first post we were both excited to get started. When we first started the blog, Cami told me that she didn't want to be the only one doing all the work, kind of like what a mother says to her son when the son starts a paper route. "Don't worry," I said. "I am a natural writer--I will constantly be updating our blog with witty, insightful posts." A little more than a year later I am making my first submission.

This example highlights a theme of our marriage: many of my well intentioned family activities begin with complete resolve. However, after my enthusiasm wanes, Cami is left shouldering the daily load. I might feel bad if she didn't always excel without me. Our blog has great pictures, excellent writing, and wallpaper in the background. I'm not quite sure what I can bring the to the blogging table.

This week Cami is in Spokane. Today is Day 6 of me being a bachelor again. Being alone at home has made me realize how much more Cami does without me noticing. Luckily, Cami isn't so naive. Below are some instructions Cami left so I don't destroy things while she is gone.




These instructions have proven very helpful. Apparently, being a bachelor is not at all what I remember. Cami has made my life better in so many different ways. She is one great example. Indeed, spending 6 days away from her has made me appreciate the 580 that we have been together.
