1 Year Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to the sweetest soul I know, my best friend, the love of my life, my husband Patrick O'Rourke!!! You are the most selfless and caring person I know, not a day goes by that you are not sacrificing yourself to bring a smile to someones face and I feel so entirely blessed that I call you mine! You make me so proud daily and your unconditional, consistent love for me reminds me of God's love for us <3 I know it sounds like such cheese but I could not imagine my life without you and I feel so unworthy of your love yet you never cease to show me and make me feel so loved! I admire you so much as a man, husband and friend, you are so wise and caring, you have a gift for serving others and it makes my heart sing! I cannot thank you enough for humoring my weird anxieties and reminding me that worrying will not get me anywhere, as annoying as I know I probably am, you never have complained and you always are right by my side supporting me. I am so grateful we found each other that random night at Papasandbeer Rosarito whoever knew that would be the night I met the most amazing man in the world...my HUSBAND! I love you so much Pat, I cannot wait to share the rest of our lives together.

Love,
your Wife <3

P.S. If this is suppose to be our hardest year... I can't even fathom what an "easy" year is like because I can honestly say this has been THE BEST year of my life!! XOXO

Wisdom, Wrongs and Whoopie With The Zards!!!

Hello Lovies!! 

Yesssss, it is that time again!! 

Time for your weekly dose of Wisdom, Wrongs and {every body's favorite ;) } Whoopie!! 

The couple we have this week are such dolls!! 

I actually think they may be mine and Pat's San Diego couple soul mates! 

And trust me people - I DON'T just give that title to anybody! 

They're those people that you just instantly feel at home with, so loving, and kind and when we share a laugh {which is the majority of the time!} it makes my heart smile! 

When we hang out with these two lovebirds we always have the best of times, we're so at ease with them it feels like we've been best friends for yearsssss! 

And boy do I love that! 

Gracie and I have actually known each other for years! We went to high school together and her husband Brian is from our neck of the woods too! But I just met him a few months ago!! 

Me and Gracie had not seen each other since high school!! I had wanted to meet up with her ever since I found out she was in San Diego but then things would get busy, all of the sudden, weeks, months, YEARS had past and then all the sudden one day I told myself "message Gracie TODAY!!!" So I did and, I am so glad I did because we were reunited and it felt SO good! 

{yes, like the song!} 

And when I met Brian...I realized there could be no one ever more perfect for Gracie. They are one of those awesome couples that just make your heart dance because their love for each other is so authentic and selfless! So pretty much, I love them, I love hanging with them and Brian and Pat get along so well together it's totally cute! 

And, I'm sooooo excited for them because they are expecting a little girl this July!!! 

{SO SOON!} 

She will be gorgeous because she's getting like the best DNA in the world and I am hoping she will rid me of my baby fever!! But who am I kidding.... she ain't gonna break that fever! let's get real now!

So please... meet the Happy Couple 

Mr. and Mrs. Brian Zard!!!!! 

I know!! Chills right!?! They are STUNNING!!

1. How long have you been married?

B & G: 2 years

2. What made you realize you could spend the rest of your life with one another?

B & G: When we started dating, we each thought to ourselves that we wanted it to last. It wasn't until one night, about 2 months after we started dating, we had our first true 'deep talk' and shed our first tears together. That night, we each slept restlessly as we each felt so close to each other yet perhaps a little insecure of the others thoughts on the vulnerable evening. The next day was the first day we said "I love you", each realizing in our hearts there was no turning back, or any desire to. 

3. What was the best piece of advise you received during your first year married?

B & G: Don't keep secrets because you're on the same team.

4. What is your favorite thing about being married and why? 

B & G: The level of intimacy that we share for one another, that even though we feel like we each know the other so deeply, we want to know more about each other.

5. What is your fondest memory throughout your married years?

B & G:  #1: The morning we found out we were pregnant. #2: The morning we felt perhaps we might be pregnant while in Vegas for our anniversary. 

6. What is the biggest struggle you overcame in your marriage?

 B & G: Moving away from our individual families while transitioning into our own family. 

7. At the end of a rough relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourself? 

B & G: We remind ourselves and each other that we're on the same team, and have confidence that other's love goes beyond any situation. As Brian's dad taught us, there are 2 rules to live by: 1) Don't sweat the small stuff. 2) It's all small stuff.

8. What advice would you give to others who are trying to make their love last forever?

B & G:  Selflessness. Always remember to make the other person a priority. 

9. Where is the most risque place you made whoopie? 

B & G: We'd tell you but neither of us can remember.

How precious are they?!?! 

Thank you so much Brian and Gracie for sharing!! 

You guys are absolutely adorable and congrats on Baby Zard!!

Make sure you leave these two darlings some love via comment or like!! 

And if you and your spouse are dying to be interviewed, Let me know!!

K.c.hull@hotmail.com!!

Wisdom, Wrongs, and Whoopie WIth The Hull's!!!

Yes, folks....

It IS that time!! 

The time of 

Wisdom, Wrongs and {everybodies favorite} Whoopie!! 

Today is a good, good day! 

This weeks couple is so very near and dear to my heart! 

The husband was my VERY first friend, and my VERY first enemy ;) 

he's my brother! 

And his much prettier half...well, she was my nanny! 

And now my sister! 

{sounds wayyyyy more scandalous than it really was... she was his girlfriend before my nanny but, I like to make my brother sound like a perve :) I mean what sister doesn't?!?}

The two dolls were high school sweethearts. Young lovers at their finest... and they still are today after over a decade of marriage and two little kiddies!

I love them both to the moon and back! 

My brother knows how to push my buttons like no one else but he can also make me laugh till tears so I guess I like him ;) And Julie is as sweet as tupelo honey, she has one of the sweetest soul of ANYONE I know with the perfect hint of sassy! I mean... they just don't make em' better than that! We're all still trying to figure out how Wes got so lucky...

What I love about this interview is they filled it out separately and haven't seen each others answers!!! They've been waiting in suspense for a whole week and now I finally get to share it with them! What makes it EVEN better is I'm with them both right now!! SO I get to hear their laughs and see their smiles!! YAY! 

SO without further ado I give you some of my very favorites 

Wes and Julie Hull 

{This picture really captures their fun love!} 

and a little something else....

YUP! that's me as the flower girl!! Just wish I still had those awesome kitten heals... barf! 

 and a little note from Julie about these priceless photos...

"Our Wedding pictures are hilarious to us.  The day of our wedding the lady that did my pre-wedding hair trial didn't show up the day of the wedding to do my hair!  So, I didn't get what I wanted at all, neither did my bridesmaids.

Wes has never let anyone else do his hair since the wedding!  They messed it up sooo bad. So basically we hate our wedding photos.  Maybe one year we can dress up and do it again :-)"

1. How long have you been married?

Julie: We have been together for eleven in a half years and together almost sixteen!!!

Wes: We have been married 11 years 5 months and 21 days.

2. What made you realize you could spend the rest of your life with one another?

Julie:  What made me realize I could spend the rest of my life with Wes is the way we get each other and we don't force one another to change into something we are not.

Wes: There is no one time I just always knew. Some things in life are very obvious.

3. What is the best piece of advice you received during your first year of marriage?

Julie: The best piece of advise I received during our first year of marriage is never go to bed angry at each other.  We have broken that rule a few times in these eleven years, but we have done pretty well with it.

Wes:  Always file your taxes on time, and don't spend more than half your monthly income on your house payment. Most importantly "credit cards are the devil".

4. What is your favorite thing about being married and why?

Julie: My favorite thing about being married is going through this journey together and being so comfortable together ( In a good way, we are like an old married couple).  I love it!!

Wes: The longer we are married the more the things change. It was once just being together, then it was making plans together, then it was starting a family, then it was raising a family, and now my favorite thing is seeing all of those things grow and come together just like our marriage.

5. What is your fondest memory throughout your married years?

Julie: Being together since we were in High School you go through a lot of changes together.  I can't pin point one fondest moment, but since I have to definitely my wedding day and the day Megan and Wayne were born.

Wes: There are so many great memories that I can't even start to pinpoint one. My favorite times are when we are all enjoying the same activity, weather it's golfing or just hangin around the house.

6. What is the biggest struggle you overcame in your marriage? 

Julie:  Probably the biggest struggle we overcame in our Relationship not Marriage is for sure our younger years.  Figuring each others buttons and which ones NOT to push.  Our married life so far so good :-)

Wes: For me it was learning that Julie had a whole other life and family away from ours. Just kidding

7. At the end of a rough relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourself?

Julie: At the end of a rough relationship day the most important thing to remind yourself is not to hold GRUDGES and FORGIVE!!  (Wes, Kayla, & Shirlee).  Sorry to throw names out their but it kind of runs in the family... Lol

Wes: I just have to look around for a second and see what all we have made together, and I realize what I've got.

8. What advice would you give to others that are trying to make their love last forever?

Julie: My advise to others trying to make their love last forever is to always tell the truth no matter what!

Wes: Always tell the truth, and listen to your spouse.

9. Where is the most risque place you made whoopie?

Julie: Hhhhmmmm, whoppie ;-)

     In our younger years, at a golf course, thats all I am going to say

Wes:  I don't understand the question. I guess Whoopies most risque movie would be the one were she dressed up like a nun...sister act I think it was. ....Please don't use any of this against me when I run for president in 2016

and here are these two lovebirds now with their adorable babes!! 

Awe.... they make my heart smile! 

Love you Wes and Julie!! 

Thanks so much for participating!!

Wisdom, Wrongs and Whoopie With The Hulls!!!

Hello Lovies!! 

Today is a VERY special day. 

Today is our FIRST EVER interview with a married couple! 

And not just any married couple but my adorable parents! 

They are probably my favorite people to be around, they have the BEST sense of humor and such warm hearts!

 I think Dorothy said it best....

there really is "No place like home!" 

They were my home for the first 18 years of my life and although I don't physically live with them anymore my heart is still very much at home with them. 

These two lovebirds will be married 40 longgggggg and lovelyyyyy years on April 29th!

Yes, the Royal couple did select their wedding date because it was my parents {its a good date!} 

And didn't they look damn fine!!! 

The darling Larry and Shirlee Hull

My dad's long hippie hair and don't you love my moms dress?!!? 

She made it!

Here they were nearly 40 years ago...

I was just a twinkle in their eye ;)

1. How long have you been married?

Shirlee: Duh

Larry: 40 years we have been married. 

2. What made you realize you could spend the rest of your life with one another?

Shirlee: I trusted Larry to always be there and always have a sense of humor

         Larry: I had a feeling deep within that Shirlee was the one very early on. 

3. What was the best piece of advise you received during your first year married?

 
Shirlee: To not put your own expectations on your mate to achieve - do them yourself.

       Larry: remember I said we have been married 40 years, I don't remember any advice given in the    1st year. Besides I learn by experience, I wasn't really good at taking advice in my younger years. 

4. What is your favorite thing about being married and why?

 
Shirlee: Companionship and waking up to my best friend, security, and feel stronger as a unit

      

       Larry: My favorite thing about being married is having someone to share your dreams and experiences with. It is more enjoyable than doing it alone. 

5. What is your fondest memory throughout your 40 years of marriage?

 

Shirlee: Having Kids and now Grandkids and a loving extended family - family time and vacations

      Larry: Probably my fondest memories of the 40 years would be the birth of Wes and Kayla. Life changing miracles for sure. 

6. What was the biggest challenge you overcame throughout your married years?

Shirlee: Raising kids, cuz we had a very different background and we were not always on the same page.

       Larry: Our biggest challenge....Probably compromising on differences of rather important life changing events that were in our future, such as major moves , or career changes. we were not always on the same page, but we compromised and things always worked out fine. We have been blessed that way.

     

7. At the end of a rough relationship day, what is the most important thing to remind yourself?

Shirlee:That the family unit is most important to keep together, and we are just a piece of the big puzzle

      Larry: After a rough relationship day I remind myself to be Patient ,compassionate, tolerant, forgiving, and most importantly , grateful that I have someone to share with. The goodtimes as well as the rough times. 

    

8. What advise would you give to others who are trying to make their love last forever? 

Shirlee: To have your own life too, so you have things to add and share and communicate in the relationship

      Larry: The most important thing a couple can do to make their relationship last is honesty and communication. I am still working on communication skills.  

9. Where is the most risque place you made whoopie? 

Shirlee: Probably our Houseboat, cuz we had lots of visitors and no real bedroom! 

Larry: The most risque place we made "Whoopie" . That is difficult , when you have 40 years to review. You probably would'nt want to know. In todays political climate we would be considered " Pervs" if I was to tell you the MOST RISQUE place . So I will leave that to your imagination.  

Clearly somebodies being a little shy about question 8 

(see image below)

And there you have it folks! 

Are they not the CUTEST!?! 

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Hull for helping us start out this interview series with a BANG! 

I love you! MUAH! XOXO

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Happy Hump Day!! 

Boy of BOY do I have some EXCITING news for you!! 

An announcement of sorts. 

myhusbandsgf will now be featuring some adorable married couples!

I will be interviewing them and they will be sharing their wisdom, wrongs and whoopie (sex) !!!! 

yes, whoopie!

 (at least the risque ones will be sharing!) 

These short and sweet interviews will make you laugh, bring a tear to your eye, and make you wanna curl up with your lover and a latte and watch The Notebook until Ryan Gosling starts looking ugly!!! (yes, you WILL be watching the notebook the rest of your life!)

;) 

It seemed appropriate to prod these fellow married folks for their knowledge and tricks of the trade because after all... it is me and the Hubs FIRST year of being married (well almost year, in June!!) 

and as much as we think we've got it down, experts and all that jazz, I suppose some wisdom never hurt a newlywed! 

So... with that being said, our first couple will be my parents!!

Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hull 

They've been married 40 years!! 

And damn do they look good!!!

Their interview will debut next week! 

Stay tuned!
