Kalab and Jarah




There just isn't enough time for us anymore. We're both so busy, we forget that we need each other. We forget we need to make time and do fun things together. We forget to forgive and let little things go. We expect perfection from each other, but hardly go the extra mile. Kalab and I have always had a different relationship, but a good understanding of each other. Somewhere in between I forgot how selfish I had become, thinking and feeling I was the most important of the relationship. Not completely realizing how sensitive my Husband is to my harsh remarks. Its hard to take a good long look at yourself and realize you're in the wrong and you could be a better spouse. Its so easy to forget all the reason why you love your husband and why he stole your heart. Its easier to forget all the fun you had before you had kids. Its hard to remember what my body looked like before I had kids and stress, how pretty he used to make me feel, how fun he was to kiss. The butterflies that used to make me so nervous, and blush. What has happened to us? 6 years of marriage? I sure hope not, we plan on being together forever.

Hopefully its just a rough patch. Natural up and downs to life, but we've never gone through this much of a down before. I love my hubby, and can't wait for things to get back to normal for us. I miss it, being lovey dovey and so on. I miss getting flowers, back rubs and little notes saying how much he loves me. I think the biggest part of having a good strong marriage is being grateful. Even though things have changed for us, I am so thankful for everything we have and how hard he does work for us. He is a great provider for our family. Because of him I am able to give our girls the best Mom they can have, a stay at home Mom. We have a nice and comfortable life, because he works so hard to keep it that way.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Kalab, I am excited to fall in love with you again and again and again. Lets go on a date soon baby, I think we need it!
