so i heard a story last night from bryan about his childhood. his dad went deer hunting, yadda yadda yadda, bryan ended up taking deer legs too school for show and tell. this is quite disturbing to me, but i am found without words that he took them for show and tell. who does this? the poor teacher, the poor scarred children.... i laugh and laugh and i am so thankful i married him. i got his quote off of janas blog because i love it, and find it so true. it takes a lifetime to get to know one another and that is the joy of it all....
"In marriage we marry a mystery, an other, a counterpart. In a sense the person we marry is a stranger about whom we have a magnificent hunch. The person we choose to marry is someone we love, but his depths, her intimate intricacies - we will come to know only in the long unraveling of time. We know enough about our beloved to know that we love him, to imagine that, as time goes on, we will come to enjoy her even more, become even more of ourselves in her presence. To our knowledge we add our willingness to embark on the journey of getting to know him, of coming to see her, even so wonderfully more. "

poor form, b-dogs! i'm very disappointed. you took deer legs to show in tell. (sigh!)
love that quote. Marriage is definately a journey. I think that was a very creative show and tell--my girls just want to show the same three toys over and over and over.
is there physical evidence of this story? seriously .... i'd love to see it. makes me scared what my children may encounter at show and tell here in the hunting capitol!!
I love this quote about marriage .. really really true I think . Puts our 7 years into good perspective ... 7 out of (hopefully) 50 and we're doing pretty good on the getting to know you aspect. You always have the best quotes. You should make a blog just of quotes and print them as a book for your kids one day.
