 Here are some tips for couples thinking of getting hitched!
You always hear everyone say that marriage is “a lot harder then it looks.” Well, they aren’t lying. There needs to be a lot of patience. I’ve learned some new things about Josh that drive me absolutely crazy. Like he washes dishes by dunking them all together and squirting soap in the sink! Ew! My manager told me something very wise when it comes to housework: You either let someone else do it and go crazy, and then you have to just redo it again OR you can just shut up about it and do it yourself. SO, I’ve decided to do all the housework in order to keep my sanity — lol.
Otherwise, Josh has been the greatest husband! He’s way more then I ever could have expected! Sometimes I find myself taking him for granted (which is very rare). If you have someone special in your life, whether it’s a significant other or family/friends, always express how you feel about them. I always tell Josh he is gorgeous, sexy, smart and the best husband, and Josh always tells me I’m the best wife, even when there are two-day-old dishes in the sink.
Always accept your spouse’s weird habits — no one’s perfect! I have bad habits, like making a mess whenever I enter a room. My mom always said I was born with a tail … ’cause I end up knocking everything over wherever I go. But Josh never complains about clothes piling up or papers being left on the table. Whenever I clean he usually tells me not to; he wants me to just relax 
Basically my husband is the best thing ever — lol. I love him to death.
Anyway, my point is when it comes to marriage, don’t be quick to judge your spouse. You’re not perfect either. Always appreciate what you have and express your feelings (good or bad). Without communication you’re leading yourselves into a train wreck. Good luck to whoever is getting themselves into marriage. Really think it through before you do it; it should be taken seriously.
Hey ladies and gents, Josh here.
I just want to give everyone an update about everything that has been happening since the Engaged and Underage cameras left us. I was off work for two weeks, which was nice. But we needed to put food on the table, so I went back and haven’t worked less than 40 hours per week since. Erica is working a few days a week now, too, so that is helping with the massive amount of bills we pay.
I just took my polygraph test a few days ago for the dispatcher job I am trying to get. Boy, was it nerve-racking. They put you in this chair and pull two cords around your chest very tightly to the point where you can barely breathe. Since it was difficult to breathe, I guess I was breathing differently than I normally do, so the test administrator told me to “stop controlling my breathing” about three times. My hands felt like ice and my left arm became numb each time the cuff was inflated, but since I didn’t lie I should be in the clear. Keep your fingers crossed!
Adjusting to life on our own has been pretty smooth in my opinion. It seems as if we have no time for anything since we are always so busy with random things, but I must admit that it is somewhat my fault. I am addicted to the best TV show ever made: 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland. My groomsman Randy and I have been loaning out our box sets of 24 to people at work, and the addiction is spreading like wildfire carrying the Black Death. Erica has different sentiments when it comes to my appreciation for this show. I try to watch it as much as I can, but Erica gets mad at me and doesn’t let me watch it when she’s around. Everything will be alright as soon as I finish seasons 4 and 5, then no more 24 for me … until season 7 begins in January. I don’t know how I will accomplish this, but I have made it my goal to get a part on the show. I don’t care how small a role it is, but I need to be in this show. I have a problem…
Anywho, I can’t complain one bit about married life. Ten million guys would kill to be with my lady, and I can’t blame them. Erica is the total package. She has brains, personality and, of course, beauty. Each day random events remind us that we are soul mates. For example, Erica was telling me about these little Spooky Town villages for sale, and as soon as I saw what she was talking about, I fell in love with them too. You must understand we are Halloween freaks.
The Story of Erica and Josh
The story of how Erica and Josh became one is a very complex one. It all began with the aid of a computer and the way-too-popular Website, MySpace. As Erica was on the prowl, browsing tons of male’s profiles, she came across one that caught her interest. It was Josh. She decided to pursue this fellow through AOL Instant Messenger and found that Josh was willing to talk to her, since he didn’t have much to do outside of work and school. After talking back and forth for a couple weeks, Erica finally found enough courage to visit Josh while he was working. At first, Josh thought it was somewhat strange that a girl wanted to meet him after only talking on the Internet, but he agreed to the meeting. When Josh saw Erica approaching him, his jaw just about dropped to the floor. Damn was she fine! I remember sweat trickling down my sides and the feeling of throw up curdling in my stomach. It was a very awkward first meeting, but well worth it!
The next time Erica and Josh met offline was at a concert featuring Every Time I Die, Between the Buried and Me and Haste the Day. In the couple hours they spent together, they were able to have much more of a conversation than was possible over the Internet, and feelings of interest began brewing much greater than ever before. It was this night where the first image of Erica and Josh was captured. I must say that I look like the biggest nerd of all time, while Erica maintains her model prowess that is never absent when she is caught on film.
Shortly after this night, Erica brought up the proposition to Josh about joining her on a trip to San Francisco for a photo shoot. Erica wanted Josh to pretend to be her boyfriend for this photo shoot, to which Josh replied “yes” without a moment of hesitation. On this road trip, Josh and Erica talked nonstop and didn’t sleep for three days, but that was a small price to pay for what was to become of this friendly relationship at the time. The connection was apparent and strong to say the least.
Some of these pictures from the photo shoot can still be found on Josh and Erica’s MySpace pages today! Needless to say, it was only days after the end of this trip that the two became romantically involved, and the rest is history.
We have had many fun times and experiences throughout our relationship, and I will leave all of you now with a few pictures from when we visited Magic Mountain almost a year ago. I wore Erica’s jean shorts, which caught the attention of many people for some odd reason.

Josh and Erica rule beyond understanding. Josh should be on 24. No…seriously, put him on 24.

I don’t think you guys were young at all. I have a love hate relationship with this show. To me underages is under 18, my sister and her husband were 19 when they got married, they just celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary, and are pregnant with their first child. My husband and I just got married in May and we were both 22 (I’ll be 23 in August), I love the show but, HATE the name. Underage to me means your parents have to “sign” you over, when you’re 18 and over you’re considered and adult and not “underage”. When the show first came on I thought that’s what it was about, underaged kids getting married, but then I learn that half the couples they show on the show are in their 20’s. There really isn’t an age on love. No one can tell you want you can and can’t do when you’re 18 and over. Love the show, just think they picked the wrong name for it.
I hope you and your husband Josh have a long and happy marriage. Congrats and Goodluck.

hey u guys r grate together!!
July 25th, 2007 at 2:25 am
Thanks everyone for the support! We really appreciate it! And thanks for everyones honesty thats much appreciated too
Josh did come across as controling on the show but he’t the most understanding person I know. The reason why he got upset was because we have a pact with eachother that we wouldnt drink if the other person wasnt there so basically i broke the pact and he was annoyed but he’s a sweety and within like 10 minutes was over it. Its amzaing that Josh is never mad at me…him being mad is him saying “im mad” and thats it. I’m actaully the crazy one in the realtion ship i’m glade that didnt come off on the show lol! thanks everyone again for sayin such rad things!!!!

to answer your comment
Both Josh and I have a relationship with Jesus Christ thats the major reason why we were so attracted to eachother. But even though I seemed materialistic on the show I hold great value to the things that our world cant offers us.
