Why did I choose to return to blogging today? Well, because, as of today, I have been married to the love of my life for 12 years!!! Happy Anniversary to us! :-) And a conversation we had a few months ago has just been clinging to my thoughts.
What was the conversation about?
I'm glad you asked :-)
At the end of May, we were in CO and were blessed to be able to have a date, leaving our babes with their grandparents. We were walking and talking about our dreams, goals, frustrations, and life in general. We came to the topic of discipline - self discipline.
I have none. My husband can be very disciplined. We balance each other out.
I made the comment that I'm good doing something for about two weeks and then I just kind of drift away and let it go. I mentioned that the only thing I'd done consistently was stay married. My love remarked that it was the "longest two weeks of my life" (mine - not his). Sad, but true.
You can see evidence of this in my lack of blogging. I do a couple of posts and then I'm done for a while. I have managed to be consistent with my workouts recently, but that's another post. In pretty much everything, I make a strong start and then fizzle about the 2 week mark, Why 2 weeks? I don't know.
I can't even take credit for being an awesome amazing wife, friend or helpmeet consistently during our marriage. I've been a brat. I've been selfish. I've been a space cadet. I've been lazy. I've taken my husband for granted. He's stuck with me and still seems to like me despite my faults.
My Love,
You have worked hard to make all my dreams come true. You are honest with me and you never
sugar-coat anything. You are the most amazing dad and, even though you don't think so, your
children adore you. You love when I'm less than my best and encourage me to do better. Thanks
for making this the best "2 weeks of my life."
You get me out of my tower and show me new things in the world. You've definitely been the
reason for my best days ever. I LOVE YOU!

Happy Anniversary!
You need to include that you have taken care of your children for over 2 weeks.
Things that you really love to do - those you have done longer than 2 weeks.
Search your heart & pray - God will send it to you.
Marriage has to be worked by both to be successful. So give yourself some credit there.
I love you too.
You are too hard on yourself. All things in life have a season, and we learn most by failing at somethings, therefore giving priority to those that are most important. You have made God and your precious family your priority and that is what matters most! Love you girl!
P.S. And we need more pictures of all of you! Please!
