I love going on dates with Tristan, especially since we've been married when we aren't courting anymore, and sometimes it might not seem important. I think continuous dating is very important.
HOWEVER, I think some people in this world feel dating is important after marriage...that is-too other people's spouses. When did this become acceptable!? Why do people feel even after marriage, girlfriends and boyfriends, or wives and husbands, are up for grabs?!
Why am I on this rant, you ask...well, yesterday in Walmart I had an experience. The clock in our bathroom died, so I went to get another one, and while I was standing there in the aisle deciding if I wanted the red, black or white one, a big black man, about 30, came and stood behind me. I didn't realize later that he was positioning himself. As I turned to leave he "bumped" into me. Then he turned, "Oh, excuse me...Hey, are you athletic? Do you play sports?" he asked. "Uh....no, not really," I answered. "Oh, well you look like it," he said. "Yeah, people have said that," I muttered as I tried to walk around him. "How long have you been married?" He said, stopping right in front of my cart. At least I had that if I wanted to ram him. :) "Oh, about 9 months." (I didn't need to tell him that, but I panicked because by now someone leaves.) "Well, I'm a physical trainer...do you work out?" What I said- "Yes, with my husband once in a while." What I should have said- "Get away from me, you weirdo. I don't want to talk to you!" Anyways, he finally says, "Well, if you need someone to train with, call me....or for a movie or something." And he handed me his number and walked off.
Why did he think that was acceptable?! Does a wedding ring not mean anything anymore to some people? I wish I'd have given him a piece of my mind, but he caught me off guard, and I can't think that fast. Tristan thought it was funny when I told him, but I didn't.

That is funny, I had kind of a similar thing happen to me at school. A girl that I had become friends with in my math class this year. said to me out of the blue, "why haven't you asked me out; to go get a cup of coffee or something?". I was taken completely off guard. She knew that I was married and had kids, we had talked about them. She got upset with me for 'teasing' and 'stringing her along' needless to say she didn't sit by me anymore. It's weird that so many people see what they want to see, despite the obvious reality.

HAHA! I love that story! Andrew got a good laugh over it. Even married you still seem to attract all the boys. I don't know how you do it.
Yeah, what a bummer that guys think you're hot.
I'm not sure so much hot...maybe just an easy target...I'm sure that's what it's been all along. Those punks!
Hahahaha...I would offer you that fake wedding ring again...but you have one on your own and it still didn't work! Weird. I don't really get that anymore...maybe it's my 6 month pregnant belly and the 2 kids in tow that thwart them! ;)
