Him & Me

I was actually working on a homeschooling post for today but while editing the pictures from our recent camping trip, I came across these.

I could not resist sharing them.

I asked my eight year old to take some pictures of Nick and I while on a nature walk.

He then proceeded to do a spin and shoot move.

It cracked me up.

I feel like marriage is a daily choice to choose kindness.

So many things could be said that would not be kind but life is so much better when you choose kindness.

A tone of voice can say so much.

I am so blessed to be with someone who chooses kindness.

6 weeks alone.

night

My husband got back from a business trip on Saturday.

He was gone 6 weeks.

We have not been apart that long since we married.

I thought not having a break from parenting the boys would be the thing that bothered me.

It was not.

I missed someone telling me to go to bed(I am a night owl).

I missed my sounding board.

Arms.

Someone being there to tell me if I am getting off track.

Someone to care what I looked like.

In short, I missed my best friend.

Marriage is a million little things.

I noticed all of them in the vacancy that was left behind.

Look for the little things that make your marriage beautiful.

Not an epic love story on the big screen but a messed up blanket, shoes by the door, and a kiss good morning.

Those things are precious and make life sweeter.

Why I like climbing mountains with my husband.

We are halfway done and I am questioning what is wrong with me.

I can’t breathe, I feel like I have been run over with a truck, and I am dreaming of watching a movie while sitting on my couch.

“THIS is fun?” I am quietly asking myself.

“Why do I think killing myself is fun?”

I know the answer of course.

I like the challenge but I also like seeing my husband pushing himself right beside me.

In the struggle to make it to the top I feel like we get closer.

Our goal’s align and we are both fighting for the same thing.

To finish and finish well.

That is what I want as the main goal in our marriage.

To finish well.

I want to fight with him to get to the top. It would be so much harder to get up that mountain if we were pushing each other down or trying to do it on our own.

We have been working on climbing this mountain for 9 years today.

For some reason I thought I would be at the top by now but I now know I have a ways to go.

That is okay though.

The harder the climb the sweeter the finish.
