Married Mishaps

I'm a pretty ok wife, a great dog mom, and a giant hot mess. Formerly Anticommitment - oh the irony.

We prayed for him for so long and now it’s just....it’s over. I don’t even know. I’m taking a much-needed break from social media for a while. But I felt as if all of you who helped pray for him should know he’s now an angel. Please pray for my husband and me if you can.

Three days ago, I gave birth to a beautiful, perfect son. It wasn’t long after that he passed on as my husband and I held him. I am now a mother without a baby, and I’m trying to understand and process how to live with that reality.

We laid him to rest today next to my grandfather. As a Christian, I know that my child is in Heaven. He didn’t suffer and now he never has to. But my heart is still in complete pieces.

I hate that I’m now adult-y enough to tell myself no pedicures because it’s not in the budget. 🙄

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

Today, my petty is turned all the way up.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

While “celebrating” a terrible break-up, I told a stranger at a bar that I liked his beard. Five years later and a baby on the way...🤷🏻‍♀️💛

What's the one sentence version of how you and your spouse met? We'll run select answers in a special wedding issue of @OxfordMagazine that just so happens to coincide with Valentine's Day. Thanks!

Unborn child can now hear outside of the womb, so it’s time to start educating him/her. We’ve started reading the first Harry Potter book out loud. By the time I go into labor, the baby will have “read” all seven. No shame. @jk_rowling

Husband’s grandfather passed away. How can one year be so terrible but so hopeful at the same time?

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

@ecosmiley I appreciate it! We kept it to a minimum and I’m glad we did

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

Our power is out and we’re using shot glasses as candle holders, so you could say we’re on pretty advanced level of adulting.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

I picked a fight with my husband - he responds by filling up my car with gas and buying groceries so I’d have lunch all week. It’s annoying when you’re the problem spouse. Like, I just need to be a brat and I need you to let me.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

Living in your college town after graduation is the worst. It’s 5+ years later and if, in public, a stranger with a beard starts staring at me - I panic and have to try to remember if I may have drunkenly made out with him when I was 18-21 years old.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

There’s nothing like a mall during Christmas season to remind me how much I hate human interaction.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

I am not a ray of sunshine today.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

Four months pregnant and I feel like a whale. Am I just showing early? Am I just that big? Plus size pregnancy is so confusing.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

I’m tired of seeing your recipes, Susan. Of course I don’t want to know how to quickly feed my family a healthy meal. I just need to know how to cook and cry at the same time. I’ve eaten out 17 days in a row.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

It’s all beautiful, whether we were actively invested in each other for 1 year or 6. And I will always be a 3 am call you can make. Always.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

We all have friendships that are now more about the history than the reality. It’s okay to miss it, but that doesn’t mean keep putting yourself in situations to be hurt.

[Married Mishaps @marriedmishaps]

Those friends will always be important because they shaped me and changed me as I was in them. But memories are allowed to be left where they belong.
