I solemnly swear

I took and oath this morning, an oath to the county of Kandiyohi that I am a woman and Ben is a man and therefore we can be married. I wanted to laugh, I don't know why, but with my hand in the air, just standing there I felt like a doof. This is a little what I looked like, minus the ears, suit and tie. In 5 days we will find out if we have been approved and Ben will find out that I changed his name. I think Benjamin Kvaal sounds divine, plus he can now buy tennis shoes with his initials on them and eat at Burger King for free, how sweet.

Oh boy today's dentist appointment was not a fun one. I had the crazy not nice hygienist (if you go to Uptown Dental you know what I am talking about). Seriously she is the oddest duck and she mumbles, mumbles like nobody's business, mumbles twice as much as I could ever mumble and not about good stuff. She commented on my engagement ring, said she liked it and then followed with the longest run on sentence.

I was married once, well I probably shouldn't say that but well, he picked out a really nice ring too, that was the only thing he did right, but we should not have gotten married we didn't even live in the same town, we both just thought it was time and then I got to know him and then I realized I didn't even like him.... but I mean I wanted it to work but he just wanted to hunt and fish and hang out with the guys, he was a Northern boy... but I wanted it to work and we were together for 7 years but he liked to party too much, he actually had a drinking problem but I think he used it as an excuse to run away from me and luckily we didn't have children because he lives in North Dakota and if we had kids I would have to live there too and I hate North Dakota except Fargo I went to school there and I liked it well except the wind...maybe it isn't that windy there there are just no trees so it feels windy but the sunsets are really pretty because it is so flat and well what do I know? I had a dream I ran into him and it was morning time and he was drunk and I felt so bad for him but don't worry you have been dating your boyfriend for 2 years in the same town and I'm sure you will work out.

Wow that was the most encouraging wedding story I have ever heard. Her great story was followed by the dentist informing me I need a root canal on tooth #15. That is going to be awesome, I can't wait for the 14th of December, when the crazy root is coming out. I have to say I am almost as excited for the marathon as I am for the canal. Joy to the World.
