So I recently cleaned out one of our black hole storage unit and came across a folder containing all my essays for my senior writing class. Scribbled across most of my papers was "Show me don't tell me!" "syntax" Over and over again. Reflecting on my graduate school work I realized I had the same criticism but of course at a different level. Instead of a paper on my grandma it was a paper on cerebral vascular accidents and low air loss pressure mattress for decubiti ulcers. But I was still telling and not showing. Sitting on my living room floor I finally got it. Thank you Mr. Stuffy.
Scratching my head, I sit staring at this blank screen. How can I show and not tell my promises to Timothy? And why did I consent to writing my own vows?
I've done some googling for assistance on writing my vows but haven't come up with much. However, I did find some things of interest err humor.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston vowed to split the difference on the thermostat in their wedding vows.
There are way too many internet sites that exist to help brides and grooms with wedding vows. Geesh what an industry.

Monkeybum
If you are wondering why we are associating ourselves with "Monkeybum", let me explain. Ever since Timothy can remember his grandfather Guy has called him Monkeybum and the term has simply fit. I've decided that I am okay being Mrs. Monkeybum because I've been called worse. Let's just say that growing ten inches in one year, being the pastor's daughter and kinda goofy made me a vulnerable target.
If you want further details on the history of Monkeybum you will have to ask Grandpa Guy. I have a feeling there is more to that story than meets the eye.
