Seven years ago today I married my beautiful wife Amy on a sunny day in St. Marys, PA. Seems like we were just kids back then. Even though we were [Totally] in love, it’s sometimes hard to believe that she went for it when I popped the [Question] considering I think it was a [Pretty Pathetic] attempt. Still, we had been a couple since 1998 and I hadn’t actually been [Chasing Amy] for many years. Anyhow, on our wedding day, when I saw that [Punk Rock Girl] in her wedding dress, I instantly knew she was my [Mrs. Perfect Girl]. That might be a stretch because I knew long before that that she was the one for me. At the wedding reception, my brother gave [A Toast To The Happy Couple] and then probably told the bartender, “[Pass Me A Straub].” I know I did. We did our fair share of [Slow Dancing] but I also remember hearing the [Click, Click, Click, Click] of the [Kamera] quite a bit that day as we took a cart ride around the golf course and were driven around town for photos.
Since then, not everything has been perfect, but every day with Amy as my wife is [Just Another Day In Paradise]. Sure, we’ve both gotten older and heard [The Sound Of Settling] and I know I’ve had to say [Don’t Hate Me] a few times, but we’ve made it this far. Many of our friends have been getting married and having kids as well so it seems that [Happiness Is All The Rage]. Speaking of kids, Amy and I now have two lovely daughters, Hailey (who is almost 4) and Teagan (who is barely a month old). Including Amy, I affectionately call the three of them my [Punk Rock Girls]. I think it’s cute.
So even after all this time has passed, I still want to scream from the [Rooftops] just how much I love this woman. I still [Want] her and love waking up next to her kissing her [Clavicle]. It might sound cheesy, but I still want to find a good way to tell her, “[All I Need Is You].” I think this mix might do the trick.

beautiful, sniff, sniff.
congrats, you two! xoxo
Total cheese – which is what attracted me to you in the first place! I love this post. I love you. Thank you for everything. Cheers to us…we have a long, long way to go. I love you!
Congrats guys!!!
Corny, but creative… nice mix too. Congrats to you and Amy, and your growing family.
Aww!
I want to write a novel like this. It would contain every song I ever loved, and the reader would consume so much Dillinger Four and Off With Their Heads that they would gain 50 pounds and be living in Minneapolis by the end.
I’m not sure how I happened upon your blog, but this is just about the cutest blog/mix I’ve read/listened to. Congrats to you both and your two daughters.
[...] No Division is considered by many to be the band’s best work and has been out of print for several years. The fourth full-length from this post-rock/hardcore/punk rock quartet is really just more of the same, but the same really isn’t so bad. Those who love the band will certainly find it appealing, but those who were drawn in by earlier efforts will probably notice that the styles start to get a bit tired and that this record is at times a rehash of previous outings.HWM exist in a unique niche, and those who have grown to love (me) it will certainly accept this album into loving arms. It isn’t as strong as the records that preceded it, but, at the end of the day, anything this band has to offer is still a lot more honest and explosive than what most of their peers have. uno- Hot Water Music- Rooftops dos- Hot Water Music- 220 Years source: Canyouseethesunset [...]
