New beginnings!

I'm so excited about how things are going with life, marriage, and family. Jason and I were having some very hard months lately and it seemed like no matter what we did we were in a constant battle against each other. After another grueling fight we had it out and came back after many hours of me going to work and jas going to the beach to "think" and we really felt at peace. We started focusing on the main issues and not the issues that we have let pile up from each fight. We discussed communication, selfishness, bad attitudes, and what we wanted for our family of 3 (huxley included!) We decided that to us being together was much better than being apart and we've been together so long that we know what pushes each others buttons. We have made an attempt to start each day fresh, to communicate, make more time for each other and less time for TV/Computers, we have talked about problems, and put the other before ourselves. Let me just say that this last week has been PHENOMENAL! I've felt more in love with Jas than I have in years and I felt like we were bonded as a family not battling each other. It has been so peaceful and romantic. We went on a date to 82 Queens (I'm sad I have not taken A SINGLE picture of our 1st year of marriage) and talked as we sat outside under the heaters with gleaming lights all around us and we felt more alive than we have in forever. We talked about what we're looking forward to not focusing on the negatives behind us but what is so great that is ahead of us. It has been a monumental moment in our relationship as we have discovered that when you work on a marriage it works and that giving up is truly never an option for us because we deserve each other.

I don't think I've ever blogged to this extent before but it was such a revelation for us that I couldn't and never want to forget about the lesson we've learned. We know we will face many many more hard times but for now we are doing great and marriage has been the biggest blessing! I am so in love with him and it feels good :)

I wish I had pictures to show but I will work on taking pictures this week as we have some fun plans for this weekend!

Another random thought- as we have worked on a healthier relationship I have wanted to be more healthy myself. I've been thinking about what I want for myself and that is health and happiness. I want to have a more holistic approach to life (involving spiritual, physical, mental,etc. etc. )

I will post next on ways that we are looking to make our spiritual, physical, and mental lives "healthier"

Thanks for listening :) Enjoy!

what up?

As I blog, its a rainy dreary day out. I'm covered in blankets with the heat on and huxley laying next to me. Usually I would be sleeping under these circumstances but today I'm resisting the temptation. I had class earlier today and I am so worn out by school that all I ever want to do is sit around and relax. One word... Senioritis! Only 3 more months until graduation!! whoop whoop.

I am really looking forward to graduation because I so need some time with my husband. School has taken every ounce of energy from the both of us. We need some time to get to know each other as husband and wife. We dated through high school and college; got married in college and school has always been in the picture. We never though it would take so much time away from focusing on each other but it really has. We need time to talk, dream, travel, plan the future (paha plan the future?! yeah right..like the future ever goes how we planned!)

We are really enjoying getting to spend more time with friends and making time for each other but I know when May comes we will find so much more happiness in life and I just can't say how exciting that is for me. We really need to find ourselves and find each other. This may sound so weird to some but it just feels like we haven't figured out who we want to be we just know we love each other.. we want to be together and what we want to be when we grow up.. we have lost so much of ourselves to school and other things that we really need to spend time for us! Soooo ready!

I must go figure out what to buy the hubby for valentines day! enjoy :)
