The life of a wife to a welder

So I married a welder. Love him to death, he is my best friend and he was my boss for the first year of our relationship. Not every woman is cut out to be married to these oil field guys. It’s tuff, and you can’t be a pussy, or a drama queen. 

 
Guess the two biggest things that makes our relationship work is I’m kind of a “Tom boy”, and I’m not a “chick” as I call it. I’m am full blown women and I own that shit like no other.

 First let me define my version of Tom boy. I don’t run around in guys clothes and have my hair cut short, nor do I care much for sports and all the guy stuff that is associated with this term. I do however get guys, like to do a lot of guy fun stuff and I don’t mind getting dirty. For example I own a Canam 1000 renegade 4-wheeler, drive our dodge dually with fuel rims like a boss. In high school I was in auto class and rebuilt two engines and last but not least I was my husbands welder helper for a year. Krazy I know, your probably thinking how we are still together being around each other 24-7 365 is suffocating… Right? Well that’s where the I get guys comes into play. I still demand to be treated with respect but my guy knows he can still be a guy with his buddies around me and I won’t get offended. Plus he friends know I will give them the no bull s%#! answer to anything they ask. No judgement, no assumptions, just straight forward. This is where I feel the “I’m not a chick” part falls into place. Believe it or not I am a professional hair stylist when I’m not helping my husband or at home with the kids. I’m in the most chick profession there is. I just can’t bring myself to be an ” omg let’s take a selfie” type of women. I don’t primp when I don’t have to, if I don’t need to wear a bra I gloriously go without one. Makeup for the grocery store…… Not me. I’m just me, plane and simple.

So to all the money hungry “chicks” that want to snag a welder. Your going to have to bring more to the table then a pretty face and nice tits. Because these guys have seen it all and I can say intelligence and a strong independent women is what these guys want, even if they don’t know it yet.

Have one on me…..

As if life wasn’t stressful and krazy enough I am starting a blog. There I said it, krazy how we do things in the most un-convenient moments of our lives. For me this is a venting avenue as well as a rant outlet, as well as an artistic way to share the S#+% I make. I’m sure most of you can relate. So if you wear your heart on your sleeve be forewarned the following posts may make you laugh or get angry. Please feel free to let me know I am open minded and love having other opinions shared with me ;).

So to all the moms/step-moms/dads/step-dads/everyone….. Have one on me. I hope this journey is fun for you and I, and we are all adults around here.
