Legal (and a Poll)

They told me that I would find the right person, someday.

I didn't think such a person existed.

Or that I even wanted to find anybody.

Or if I found that person, that they would find their 'right person' in me.

The idea of marriage was so elusive and not fitting for me, but after we gave each other a chance, it seemed like the most natural and compelling path.  Forget all the formalities that must happen today and in the paperwork leading up to (and trailing!) it -- I just want us to stay by each others' physical and mental sides as long as our vessels will allow.


Details of the day will be posted sometime later.

Signed,

~ Mrs. Julie D. R.

P.S.  Here's my poll... what should I call my husband (whoa, that felt weird to type!) on here?

 A) "The Ukrainian" -- (unchanged) I have called him this due to a Sex and the City reference, and it kind of just stuck.  By no means am I alerted by his origin, because to me, he's just, well, him.

 B) "Husband" -- (or some variant... "Hubby," "Hubz," "DH," etc.) Because I don't really feel like posting his name up here all the time.

 C) Some semi-non-identifying abbreviation -- e.g., "A" or "A.R.", "Mr. R." ???

 D) ?????? -- suggestions are welcome.... perhaps the winner will get my non-existent garter belt mailed to them, hah

    Congratulations!
    Continue to call him "Ukrainian".. That's how we know him, so no reason to confuse the issue.

    Congrats! Hope it all went off without a hitch, or at least minimal hitches.

    I say continue to call him the Ukrainian.

    My wife generally uses "hey" as my name. It's worked now for 26 years! Congrats to you and hubby!

Yep, on March 20, 2006, I went to the track and ran my first 3.25 miles with the dreams of marathon glory (or even half-marathon glory). I think it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I was a sprint/tra...

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit. Unfortun...

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?...
