Day 6-Marriage

So I was planning on writing about marriage today before the Supreme Court made their decision this morning. 

 Getting married was one of the best things I ever did.  Despite being young.  I will encourage my children to be much older when they get married then we were.  I say 25 is a good age. Anyway, today is our 14th wedding anniversary.  It has been quite the 14 years.  In 14 years we have lived in two homes.  We have four children. Seven pregnancies. 8 motorcycle trips. We have gone through countless jobs.  We have each lost a parent.  We have accumulated one associates degree, two bachelors and one masters degree.  We have way more student loans then I like to talk about.  I have gone through four cars and Lee two motorcycles although he has only had one car.

Marriage hasn't always been easy and there were times when I have been tempted to throw in the towel and spend the rest of my life sitting on the beach somewhere.  But at the end of the day I love the stability of marriage.   There is something about the security of having Lee and knowing that he can't just bail with out legal action.  :)  Lee told me early on that divorce wasn't an option and it never has been for him.  I am grateful for that. 

I believe that love is one of the things that will last through the eternities and I am so in love with the fact that Lee is with me FOREVER!

I am so blessed that my parents were such a good example.  45 years of marriage.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
