So life has been a little special since I last wrote. As newlyweds we have had our ups and downs. I'm very proud that we've had more ups. That's a personal victory on the home front. We're learning to communicate better for the most part and that just helps a lot of different aspects.
One of my personal struggles that I am currently dealing with is my tact. I don't have much. I tend to not think to much about my thoughts before I unleash them on the world and that's not a good trait to have. I've been trying really hard to think before I open my mouth and I'm getting there but there's still a considerable amount of work to be done. This lesson in progress also ties into the famous "choose your battles" advice. This one is also getting better I just need to understand that you can't just expect progress overnight. These areas of growth take time.
Today I was able to hang with a wonderful woman that I consider a good friend and is becoming a better friend. We went to get our nails done (which is good b/c my little brother is getting married this Saturday). She was a complete gem and spotted me until payday. We also had a really nice sit down girly lunch and did some shopping. We then went back to her and her family's house and just chilled and chatted with her hubster as the kids were running around and having a blast. :) I do truly love the atmosphere in their house. We then decided we weren't done hanging out yet and went to go see a movie. We saw What to Expect When You're Expecting. It definitely had some funny parts and some more serious and sad ones. The part about the adoption scene was really difficult for her to watch b/c they have had to deal with some adoption issues recently. It really weighs heavy on my heart b/c they are such a good family and so caring and I wish only good things would come their way. Can't always be so though. Until then I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
Getting a bit drowsy... over and out.
