Thank you for all of the nice comments, messages and emails.
I am sorry if it seems like I am a mess right now, but that is exactly what I am.
Today the contractor who was set to start painting and decorating one of the babies rooms called and asked to speak to Malia. I immediately started crying. The contractor thought I was laughing at him, and he got really pissed off.
The call didn’t end well. He kept telling me he was going to find out who I was and put his foot up my ass.
In all fairness, I’m sure he didn’t know I was Malia’s husband. I sort of admired his tenacity. It reminded me of me, when I kept asking Malia to go on a date with me, and she kept saying no. While I was sitting in her closet today, I actually totaled up the amount of times she told me no via email.
I asked her via email, which doesn’t include texts and in person first date attempts, 34 times. She said no via email…..34 times, but she kept responding, and her no reply emails kept inching closer to a yes.
The last email chain she said no to, before she eventually said yes in person when I asked, I really enjoyed re-reading. Here is part of it-
MJ email- I already know you are going to say no to my date request, but how about this time you say no to my face, this Friday night at 7:30, at Wyatts?
Malia’s reply: I’ll think about it.
My reply: That’s a yes.
Malia’s reply: I said I’ll think about it.
My reply: I am already picking out clothes to wear.
Malia’s reply: I didn’t say yes.
My reply: I know, but this is also the first time you didn’t say no.
Malia’s reply: I am afraid to say yes.
My reply: Why?
Malia’s reply: Because you might break my heart.
My reply: I am going to marry you.
Malia’s reply: You are crazy.
My reply: I am crazy about you.
Malia’s reply: That is just a line.
My reply: Yes it is.
Malia’s reply: You are not very good at this. Why did you admit that was a line?
My reply: Because it was.
Malia reply: I know that. Why did you admit it?
My reply: Because it was the truth, and I didn’t want to lie to you.
Malia’s reply: Because you didn’t want to lie to me?
My reply: I told you I want to marry you, and lying to your future bride is not good.
Malia’s reply: You have never been on a date with me. Don’t say you are ready to marry me. Statements like that are what make people think you are crazy.
My reply: I want to get off chat. Is that okay with you?
Malia’s reply: But it’s just getting interesting.
My reply: Malia, you are the only person I have ever met that I feel like I have known my entire life. I don’t have any money, I’m still married, I am probably going to jail, and I may have caused a war in Iran by accident, but I genuinely feel like you are the one for me.
Malia’s reply: Okay hotshot. If we end up getting married someday, the first time we have sex after we actually get married, I’ll let you have butt sex with me. I have never done that, so that’s your reward if you are actually right.
Sidenote- I think it might have been time 3 or 4, but close enough. Malia…..I think I knew the minute I saw you that you were it for me.
Each day that passes is another day closer to seeing you again baby. I miss you and I love you.
