Sleeping hasn’t been that pleasurable for me lately. Unfortunately the Nightmares have begun. These are not Nightmares and worries of the commitment of marriage.

Please enjoy and feel free to laugh at me as I tell you about my last night terror.

It’s official. We’re both a little testy. This whole thing isn’t too much for us, it’s just more than we prefer. We’ve found that it’s a constant battle to keep things together.
We’ve never really fought in our relationship. Jessica and I talk issues through pretty well and usually come to an acceptable agreement on how things should be handled.
These theories are being tested now.

I’ve heard cautionary tales of couples who spent too much time in ‘engagement bliss’ that they had to rush around and stress out over the details of the wedding. My lady was having none of that.

Jessica and I are trying to make arrangements as fast as possible. We just have different ways of doing it.
My engineering background and intuition keeps stressing the importance of research and development time as a prelude to any large decisions like the ones we’re preparing to make.

I asked Jessica to marry me on a Friday night. How long did it take for me to make her perturbed at me?
The same Friday night. You might think that you can do no wrong after something like that, but apparently you can.
