So here i sit in a treehouse style internet cafe, typing away on a computer. The world has really come a long way. The first little while of the honeymoon here in Costa Rica has been good. We chilled out on a beach for the last 4-5 days and everything was pretty laid back. I think we both needed some down time after the frenzy was over. By the way, God is good. He has blessed us well beyond anything we were thinking through our wedding and we are very, very grateful. In a month I´ll tell you a few of the "coincidences", but for now, honeymoon...or la luna de miel. I´m trying hard to pick up as much spanish as i can while i am here, much to Ker´s annoyance sometimes (i answer her questions in spanish to practice). So far only small gains have been made but i´m getting there.
On a different note, the honeymoon experience is probably not at all what every guy thinks it is. It has been up there for most frustrating experience in my life. For any of my unmarried friends reading this, do not expect the door to be opened wide no holds barred after you get married. It is a slow and ardous process that will drive you nuts if you are eagerly anticipating "leaping like a young calf from the gate". Like everything else this is not something to be rushed...which was a mutual decision of Ker and I, and it wasn´t at all tolerated by me, it was embraced......however, having told myself that i would wait for that day (for almost 25 years) and that i was almost there, almost there, so close hang in there, when i got to that day i guess i subconciously assumed i would never want for anything like that again. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Life is funny sometimes...in a "you just got kicked in the junk" kind of way. Ker has been great about everything! I now know that in reality you do not get married and turn part rabbit. Maybe in the movies, not real life. So once again the learning curve starts, and fortunately Kerianne is an amazing woman and keeps us both laughing about it and in good spirits. Ahhh, la espousa mi amor. I truly have been blessed. Having been one of the first men in my group of male friends to get married, I intend to prophesy unto them, that they may prepare their hearts and minds for that day that awaits all of them. hahahaha, really laying on thick there eh? Ah well, until then PURA VIDA everyone!!!
* pure life

If I would have known this was here before, I would have checked it out. Its funny Corey... at your wedding I was talking to Joey, and I discussed that one of your best traits is your honesty. As soon as I mentioned it he excitedly cut me off as a story reflecting your honestly came to his mind. I only got to stay for one story at your wedding, but as soon as it was told, me and Joey looked each other and said, "there it is again." This post is no exception, tackling a subject that many people would not like to talk about. As an unmarried person, I'll be honest, I am looking forward to getting married. However, I know that it will be nothing like I expect in my head. I also know that if I cannot be satisfied with my life now, I will never be. Even so, it is good to hear the some truth amongst all of the BS surrounding sex in our culture. I'll check in frequently looking for more honesty. Enjoy the honeymoon Cory, its a blessing from God for sure.
Man I hate spam! Anyhow, good to hear from you again Cory. I just got back from holidays. Sounds like you are taking the right angle on all this honeymoon stuff. Boy communication is vital eh? Don't stop talking, laughing, cying and joking. It is what keeps the marriage real. The moment you fake any of it, you are dead! Keep writing so blatently. It is who you are and why I keep reading. Peace brother. JZ
