Marriage is hard:






What would you choose?

I would certainly say yes. Marriage IS hard. It's also fun and exciting and easier than dating ;)

The hardest part {for me} is that my husband cannot read my mind. If he could, it would make things a million times easier! He would then know when I don't feel like being tickled, when I don't feel like making dinner, what to say when he has so obviously already said all the wrong things..the list could go on and on!

So instead of learning telepathy, we have been working on our communication skills. When I'm upset I have to tell him exactly why. When he prefers doing something other than what I suggest he HAS to speak up. Also i have to give things to God, I cant prevent things from hurting my feelings, but I can give my emotions to God every morning, giving Him control of me. It's getting better, but it's so embarrassing to have to tell the husband that a silly thing he said an hour ago hurt my feelings. We've only been married a year tho, so hopefully it will become either less embarrassing or things will eventually be less hurtful.

What's the hardest part in your relationship and what do you do to make it better?!

    I'm the same way Tracy! I have been trying to get better at letting things roll off my back and understanding that Matt says what he means, there are no loaded statements. Men & women are so different!

    Miss you friend! I'm really excited to hear about this news :)

    If only they could read our minds right?! haha I wish! For us I would say it is different things. My personal problem is just maybe expecting too much out of him all the time. Like always being perfect... sounds harsh I know but sometimes we can't understand why they can't just do everything right... it is hard to remember were all only human right?!

      I do the same thing, I just expect him to always do things exactly how they should be done! Our views are so often different it's crazy!! It's so comforting to know other women feel the same way I do :). Thanks Alycia!

    This is so funny - because I feel like sometimes I actually do expect the hubs to know EXACTLY what I want & need, and the only way that would happen would be if he could read my mind, which is totally unrealistic, haha :) I think it's important to remember that the men in our lives can't read our minds, though I'm sure they wish they could even more than we do!

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ...

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo

What I've been HALFway reading.

Guys. I've started around 512 books over the last few months. I haven't finished any. GAH. Here's just a few - Divergent by Veronica Roth. I'm so excited to actually keep reading this. I loved the movies but feel like the books are ALWAYS better. I haven't read much of this one yet because I feel guilty every time I pick it up. I always feel like I should be reading something that will improve me. I'll finish it some day. Simple Steps to Foot pain Relief by Katy Bowman, MS. I started reading this one for clients who have foot / knee / hip / back / shoulder pain. Basically any pain. I love trying to help my clients more than what they expect, so bits of information I can soak in and pass on are great! Katy Bowman does a great job breaking down the foot and then gives some awesome techniques on things you can do to help your feet. I'm close to done with this one actually, and thats good because it's due back at the library in a few days. Goo...
