So happy together...



So I post alot about my kids...they are just so cute and funny! They keep us hopping and guessing most of the time...
Sometimes I think Kelly gets pushed into the background alot...I get in to "mom" mode and it's all about potty, snacks, too much TV, snacks, playing outside, and snacks. It's hard to slow down sometimes and remember that I am someone's wife, too.

Luckily I married a great man who supports me in what I do! He encourages me when I'm down and helps me be realistic when I'm taking things too personally or going "over the top" on things. He helps me see that there is more to life than just getting things done--it's about the doing...and enjoying it. He and I definately have our differences but I think that is what makes us strong--if we were both like me, we'd be in a mental hospital by now!! Sometimes I just sit back and think how blessed I am to have married someone who has the same goals in mind that I do--even though our ways of getting there aren't always the same. Probably the thing I love most about Kelly is that he makes me laugh. He can get me laughing even when I REALLY don't want to. I look back at my life and when I think of the many decisions I've made--marrying him was by far the best decision I've ever made. I don't think happiness in marriage comes from snuggling all the time and from never fighting or never being apart. Happiness in marriage comes from knowing that he loves you even if (and that's a big if) you snore at night...okay, so it's more than that--it's trust, tolerance, forgiveness, friendship, patience, love, and a hope that together you can someday get it right. At least I know I got one thing right...and I'm married to him...
