The Married Life

Ahhh... the married life. Blissful. Joyful. Peaceful. And then you get home from the honeymoon! Seriously, though, people try to warn you that marriage is hard, but as a happy and naive bride-to-be we all say, "yeah, but you don't know how good we are together" or something silly like that.
I've just made it through the first year of my marriage and I've learned more that I ever would have thought. i've learned to pick my battles wisely...not all arguments are worthy of tear-shed and frustration. I've learned that my way is not the only way. my husband is not my child--I cannot tell him what to do with the reasoning of "because I said so". I've learned that marriage is NOT about give and take--it's about giving... and giving 100%. There's no 50/50 in a good, solid marriage. I expect my husband to give me 100% of his love, effort, sacrifice, and devotion. So that's what I will give him. I've also learned that I think I like Moises working 3rd shift, because it's kind of nice having the bed to myself (he snores)! Another thing I've learned is how freakishly alike to my mother I am. I love my mom...but it's just weird.
So it's been a busy, hard year...but a fabulous better-than-anything-else year! I'm more in love than I was a year ago, and I thnk we've both come out better after it. There are many more years to come, and I'm super excited to see what God has in store for us... we'll keep ya posted.

I'm Back!!!

Yeah, I know. I haven't posted anything since March! I don't think anyone is checking this anyway! Who knows... we'll see. So let's see... what's new with me... my little sister's getting married in 6 weeks... my older sister is due for her 3rd little boy in october... those are the major things. I'm kinda tired right now and not in the mood to write anything, but I just wanted to say hi to anyone who's reading this!
