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.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...

Heavy Week

This week has been so heavy. I had a client pass away and I never got the closure I needed/wanted. Client was not my typical client. He was different and sassy and I looked forward to seeing him every week. Then we went to a presentation. When I tried to explain how dishonest the presenter was I felt ignored. We are pretty anti MLM anyway but not wanting to know is weird to me. There are big changes coming and I am not ready for all the changes. Might be good might be a diaster. Time will tell. Mom's surgery is scheduled in about four weeks. I feel as though she moved it for us. Which is for the best for everybody but still taking on guilt that is not mine to own. Listening to the news about the LDS church shooting/fire in Michigan has been so triggering. I hate that I feel all the all the feeings. How I can envision the people there and the screaming kids and .....on and on. I wonder what changes will come to the church now that prophet died. I hope ther...
