The First 100 Days

The First 100 Days

http://hisfirst100.blogspot.com

I never thought I would be here. Here meaning married. But here I am, with a ring on my finger and a beautiful woman to call a wife. This blog will document my tomorrows, the first 100 days after I said "I do" on a private beach in St. Lucia. All the post-wedding politics and growing pains as two find out what it means to become one. I never thought I would be here. But I am, therefore, I think.

This man can take the most mundane hustle in his day-to-day and transform it into "a must-have - interesting as all get out - downright enlightening - pearl of marriage" wisdom. Plus, he can write (and the some).

Great stuff. I hope it lasts longer than 100 days!

Haven't read your wife's blog yet ... but I absolutely love the day-by-day diary of the first 100 days of your marriage.

You're a good writer - keep going!

Great Blog, loved your Day 23: Murder by Snapper post. This is a really nice idea. I can imagine that being able to read back will properly go a long way to helping you through many future hills and hollows.

I love what you and your wife are doing! Like a he said, she said. You should query a publisher. If I was, I'd publish it as a book - GREAT idea. I'm following the both of you.

For some reason I couldn't review this when I was doing our group work earlier. Anyway, I love the concept of this blog, and I love that both you and your wife are doing this! What a great idea!

I love your blog...love the idea too. Maybe I'll borrow a leaf and do the first 100 days when I finally say I DO.

About the indecision...yeah, my fiance is kinda like that and it drives me really crazy. Of course I'm patient about it (more like I pretend to be patient but I don't think I fool him at all).

I'm going over to your wife's blog now.
