Time Out

Tonight Brian is out on the fathers and sons campout...minus his son. Adam got to stay home with me and be grumpy, get a bath, and go to bed a little early due to his grumpiness (he started the go-to-bed routine early, on his own). So knowing I'd be alone for the evening I got a movie from the RedBox at WalMart. Brian and I have been trying to find this movie for about two months, but we never seem to go at the right time. But today--I got it! I saw a trailor for it and my friend Jackie recommended it. I highly recommend it as well. In fact, tomorrow night after Adam goes to bed Brian and I are going to watch it together. I won't have to cry alone! The movie is called "Fireproof." There were a lot of great lessons that are applicable to anyone's life.

Seeing as the movie is about marriage I easily thought about my marriage. I see our marriage and then I look at other peoples' marriages and see the differences. But every marriage is different because each person is different. I find myself so happy in my marriage. So grateful to have such a wonderful husband. He is selfless and caring and one of my favorite parts is that he helps me with the dishes and with Adam. He always takes the trash out--I never have to ask. You know how we all have our favorite household chore? Maybe his is taking out the trash. Mine is vaccuuming. Back to the point...I am so grateful to have such a wonderful husband. He goes to work everyday so that I can stay home with Adam. He makes sure that we always read the scriptures together and say our prayers before we go to bed. Reading my journals from back in the day when we were friends and starting to date I wrote that I loved being around Brian because he made me want to be better. I find that fact still true today--Brian makes me want to be better and thus I try to be better. Thank you Brian--I love you!
