i'm not going to lie; it has been a "rough" start to my lil' experiment. and please note, i do use the term "rough" lightly as i do, at the very least, recognize that commuting to your couch isn't all that bad.
but do you know those days where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong? and everything thats suppose to be super simple, was all kinds of complicated? well i have had roughly seven of those gems right in a row. and while i want to curl myself up in a ball, in my bed, with the covers over my head, for at least a few days - i'm going to tell you a story that always makes me smile, because i made him smile.
i met jason, my fiance, the day lehman brothers went bankrupt. the day the recession began, the day fortunes were lost, the day the job market began to crumble. the worst day in jason's professional life.
you see, he worked (well, works) for lehman and while i was spending that sunday in the lounge of our shared apartment building drinking and watching football with friends he was quietly sitting in the corner searching for news online about the future of his job, his field, and (of course) the economy as a whole.
after rooting for my hometown team, the cleveland browns, i called it a night and headed up to to my place, but not before saying something. and while i don't remember what that something was i do remember that something that made jason smile. and right at that very moment i knew i wanted to make him smile for the rest of my life.
