Well, today got off to a rocky start... Our dog bones has not been feeling well the last couple of days...I could hear him figiting in his kennel most of the night and I knew his stomach was not feeling good...and after a while...yup, the smell traveled into our bedroom... Ugh, I start gagging just thinking about it again, yup, all over his kennel and disgusting, so... Johnny and I were outside at 4 in the morning washing the dog and the kennel... Did I mention that I never wanted a dog, yah... just wanted to make sure that was clear so my true feelings were known... did I also mention that I cannot stand the smell of dog poop, not that some people can but... let's just say my stomach has not been well all day... yuck...
okay, Just so that the mood is set now... just kidding... I wanted to share a bit... On my faith journey I am always drawn to things that will make me a better person, a better christian.... Now that I am married... I just want so much to make my marriage strong, to work on it and make sure that I am a good wife and mother. I think every girl grows up dreaming about her white wedding to her prince Charming, waiting for 'the one'...holding her breath... and sometimes love makes you blind, okay a lot of times, and sometimes your prince is a frog... and sometimes he is that knight in shining armor you are dreaming about... some girls get really lucky and get it all... a lot don't... but when you love someone, truly love someone, you work at making your marriage a success, you take the good with the bad... remember.... for better or for worse?! A few friends of mine and I have talked about starting 'The Love Dare', it is a 40 day challenge that leads to a stronger marriage, I have the book, actually for a while, but have yet to start it. But I have begun following a blog called "Women's Marriage Ministry" and have decided to start Amy's 14 day love challenge...
Johnny and I will be married for 7 years in November, has it been good... yes... has it been easy... no... and a lot of people who know us probably think our relationship is very easy because we were best friends for so long before we got married, but marriage is work, and it is different from just being friends, you always hear people say "I married my best friend" or "my husband/wife is my best friend" well, ya... that doesn't mean we have a great time, because let me tell you, when you wake up in the middle of the night with a sick kid and vomit on the bed and sheets... and in your hair... and your both tired, let's just say... you aren't thinking about being friendly... ya, I can always tell when Johnny has had it with me, luckily my husband walks away... me, I don't talk...AT ALL... and marriage should be about two people, and any counselor, priest ...whoever, will tell you that BUT (big but) you have your families and they are a big part of your lives and they also weigh on your relationships... It is a give and take and a whole lot of compromise, patience, understanding and alcohol (or cookies)...LOL
Is marriage easy... NO, is marriage work... Yes... is it worth it ... of course
