WOW--what changes

Well, since my major melt down a few weeks ago things have changed around my home for the better to. The boys have been doing better with picking things up and putting stuff away. Although they have not improved on doing their chores on their own but they are starting to get the hint that I am not their maid.

I was hoping that football was going to be over when we played against Atholton but nope we won that game. Then when we were slated to play River Hill I just knew that since we had not beat them in years that we would surely lose-----Nope we beat them too. So when we were facing the #1 team in the 3A East conference I knew (since we lost to them big time about 3 years ago) that there was no way that we were going to beat Damascus High School. But that was the third strike and I lost that bet too. So now we are on to the State Championship Playoffs on Thursday December 2, 2010. The last time we were there was in 2007 when Steven was a sophomore at Wilde Lake now that Shawn is a sophomore at Wilde Lake we are going again. I hope we win that would be amazing since this is our Varsity Coaches 2nd year as Head Coach. I will keep you updated.

Ron and I have been attending marriage classes taught by a great couple in our ward that the church is encouraging people to attend and I for one can say that it has improved our relationship a lot since we started this class. We are communicating better and able to control our anger towards each other better as well. I can see the changes in our home life as well as our relationship with each other as well. I guess I just needed a kick in the butt to realize what I needed to work on as much as what we each needed to work on.

Well, I will try to post more on the changes that are happening in our family as we go on this path of life. Here's to starting the CHRISTmas season with a good feeling and lots of love to all my friends and family.

How's married life??????

So many people have been asking me how I like being married????!!! Well it has only been 3 weeks since we have been married, but so far it's like just before except he is always around. It seems surreal to me how comfortable and easy we have adjusted to being married and living together. I mean we had been seeing each other for about say 7-8 years, even though we've know each other for 10 years this coming October. I really did not like Ron when I first met him, I thought he was rude and arrogant and just plain mean! But, once I got to know him, figured out it was just his shyness around people he didn't know.

But back to the real issue......I like being married, in fact it is nice to have someone to worry about me and my boys for a change as well as having someone taking care of me for a change. Granted I don't know how long this "honeymoon" will last but I am going to take advantage and enjoy it while it lasts.

The boys seem to have adjusted extremely well to having Ron around all the time too. Sometimes they will just go ask him if they can do things or if Ron is home they will not call me to tell me that they are home from school, practice etc., kinda makes me miss it.

It is also nice to have someone to just be able to let them handle some things and to hold me when I have had a bad day, just as long as he keeps massaging my feet for me I will be a happy woman! I told him you know the old saying....Happy Wife, Happy Life.
