Joy

So, tomorrow marks the month anniversary of having our own place again.  All I really have to say to that is we love it!!  I love the snuggles on the couch, making dinners in my own kitchen, and not having to worry about what anyone else is doing.  

It was long, sometimes frustrating, journey of living with other people.   But, lately Tom has been encouraging me to find the joy in the journey.  I guess living with other people and not having our own space makes me enjoy the time and privacy we now have together even more.  I'm not sure that I would ever take that path again and live with other people, but it made us stronger as a couple and for that I'm grateful.

I will post pictures soon of our apartment as I just found the camera charging cord yesterday.  Until then I'm going to keep finding joy in the journey and enjoying my alone time with Tom.

Lists

I have found things always go easier for me when I make lists.  Usually my lists are endless things I have to do or things that need to get done.  It occurred to me last night that I could also make lists just to remind me how lucky I am. 

**Mushy alert**

So, here are some reasons I love my husband:

1. He's extremely patient.  If you know me you know that's huge.  :)

2. He's passionate about everything he does. 

3. He will try anything once.  Whether it be my cooking or playing Dance Central in front of everyone.

4. He works hard to help provide for our family.

5. He's going to be a great dad someday.  I can just tell.

6. No matter what kind of day I've had - just seeing his smile makes it all better.

7. He always knows the right thing to say to make any situation better. 

8. Did I mention he's patient?? 

9. He encourages me to try new things and never laughs (very long) when it doesn't quite turn out the way I think it will.

10. He is my best friend and I can tell him anything and know he won't judge me. 


I could also type out my other currents lists, but I'm sure no one wants to see my grocery list or my things to do around the house list. :)
