Simple Kind of Man

Gracie: You do not – I love dancing with you. Especially when you let me stand on your toes, 😋

Gracie: Is that a promise? 😉

Clay: thats a dance sway i think. not dance dancing?

Clay: it's a promise

Gracie: The night's not over yet -- I have a third pair on standby!

Gracie: It DEFINITELY is, 😘

Gracie: Awwww. I miss you too, babe. You're having fun with the guys, though, right? I don't have to come beat any of them up?

Gracie: [https://bit.ly/2PdJ9te]

Clay: I might be awake for the standby socks to go on. The guys I came with are still drinking and dancing. I’m at the table with a beer. Which is cool with me. I look funny dancing

Gracie: I have two pairs of socks on, 😘😘😘

Gracie: Awwww, such chivalry! Your lap is the MOST comfortable, 😉

Clay: I thought I’m a 3 pair of sock kind of warmth

Clay: most comfortable seat in the house

Gracie: You’re so much better than a pair of fuzzy socks, 😘

Gracie: I am, yes! I scouted the venue this afternoon to make sure the lighting’s good, it’s gonna be wild. Save me a seat at the reception? ❤️

Clay: How are you without me there to keep your toes warm?

Gracie: I knooooow, my feet are cold when you aren’t there to keep them warm in the morning.

Gracie: We still get to go to bed together, though. #silverlinings?

Clay: yes to silver linings. Now I think you use me as a foot warmer.

As it gets colder in Lima, a vacation in my future keeps looking better and better. But the question that keeps popping up, is where do I go?

Did you figure a place to go?

So, not everyone knows this but Im back in Lima, officially. I know that I just left, don’t remind me. It seemed like a good time for me to leave, since there are wildfires, again in Califorina. Anyway, I have an annoucment and that is, I have a seven-month old daughter, named Charlotte. I will answer any kind of questions that you guys have.

Are you and your daughter ok from the fires? 

Best everything. 

And best husband ever, too.

Best wife to you.

A week ago we were counting down the hours to our wedding. Can you believe that? We’ve been married 6 days.

Damn this song gets me every time! 

♫♫  Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name And they’re always glad you came  ♫♫

No idea if that last part is true but the first part is. And cause of that I’m closing up shop for a while and will be staying in Lima  for the Holidays. Well at least till Thanksgiving. So if you wanna hang out, hmu.

Did you close a bar?

Best.

Weekend.

EVER.

I feel the same. 

There is no question about it, today is the best day of Clayton’s life. He didn’t just marry Gracie once. But twice. How many people can say that when it came to the day they marry someone they consider as their best friend? He didn’t think too many could, actually and that made it feel extra special.

He finished dressing in his costume after all of their pictures were taken, and there were A LOT. But that’s fine. He wanted his Gracie to have as many memories of today that the both of them will cherish years from now. 

When they came into the reception, both of them did a fun little pose in their A League of their Own costumes, Clay made a few ball play signals with using his hat before he picked Gracie up and spun her around before kissing her lips in front of everyone. He felt incredible. On top of the world. That with the fears he had with the start of this arrangement that it worked out for the both of them. 

Clayton set his bride down and kissed her cheek once more before braving the whole socializing thing. With everyone in costume and in good spirits, he hoped, it wouldn’t feel your usual wedding. “Glad you could make it.” He said to the closest person he walked up to. “What are you dressed as?”

Gracie: HA. Deal. I like the fresh out of bed look on you, public presentation can just deal, 😉

Gracie: Maybe? Movies and tv made me think no peeking at ALL, but I like your idea better.

Clay: 😄😄😄

Gracie: I don’t think you’re supposed to see me before the wedding, but that’s silly and I want pancakes, 😘

Gracie: And YOU, but that’s a given.

Gracie: Give me 15 to get dressed? I know you dig the pink ducky pjs, but public presentation and all, 😉

Clay: wear your ducky pjs. be comfortable. i'll keep my flannel pj pants and sweater that way we both have the fresh out of bed look
