I get to be a contributor...

I am glad that DeShelle invited me to be a contributor to our blog.  There are several reasons that I think this is important.

1.  I can set the record straight.  (You know how women are always romanticizing the truth)
2.  I can help the male followers of her blog see things from a mans perspective.  Also known as the "right" perspective.
3.  Most importantly, I can bring a bit of humor to the blog.  DeShelle is cute and witty, but I am pretty sure that I am the funny one.  She is the eye candy.  :)

There are many things that I love about my wife.  I love that she gets my sarcasm.  Sarcasm is a special sort of humor.  Those that use it often (like me) tend to use it at all the wrong times.  I am always saying the most inappropriate things at the wrong time.  Thank goodness she can just chuckle and roll her eyes at me, and I know I will still be loved when we get home.  This is a great example of a time that I can set the record straight... I can honestly say that when the man walked up to me and said that I had a lovely daughter (she is 14) and I freaked out on him and was like... "what do you mean I have a lovely daughter, why you looking at my daughter?"  DeShelle jumped between us and was like... "Zane, the Bishop was just saying..."  See... without her, how was I supposed to know?

I think one of my favorite things about DeShelle is that she is a great friend and a wonderful servant of the Lord.  She is always looking for things to do for others and I absolutely love her for this.  I know that there are a lot of great people in the world, but I was lucky enough to grab one of the best.

I hope that as you read this blog and DeShelle talks about why the title of the blog is "we like to call it fate..." that it will become clear which one of us believes in fate, and which one of us calls it a "fluke."  Here's a hint... I also believe in dinosaurs.  One thing that DeShelle is certain never existed.  I am pretty sure that if you ask her, she will say that all those bones in Vernal and the ones that reside at Thanksgiving Point are just a fluke.  :)
