I can't believe it's Friday.... again. It's been a rough week. The husband started school on Monday and I've been trying to figure out our new schedule. I almost can't believe we both worked downtown, carpooled to the office and took lunches together. Now we see each other in the evenings, though he's usually doing homework and catching up on his reading.
So here's what I've been learning more and more these past few days. I'm usually marching to my own drumbeat, planning for my own future and doing what I think I need to get there. The biggest thing about being married is that you are no longer the only one who makes decisions and you are not the only one with goals. I always find myself thinking this simple truth is easy to live by until I'm sacrificing my date night so husband can do homework. I'm glad I get situations like this that allow me live out what I believe and thankfully my husband and I understand that we are in the same boat, heading in the same direction with the same mindset. And if all goes well, we'll be in a boat in this canal in the near future. eeep!

ReplyDeletemarriage is an interesting thing! Glad you are making it work for you two, keep us updated with how thats going :)
ReplyDeleteThat's just like us, only the other way around! I'm a brand new teacher and always have tonsss to do. This leaves my sweet husband having to occupy his time in other ways (since we'd both prefer to be hanging out, of course!)! But it's a transitional time and we've been learning that there are going to be times in marriage where one person needs more support than the other and that's okay. And right now, that person is ME.
ReplyDeleteI hear you, sister! I'm working on a post wherein I explain our reasoning for having a quickie city hall wedding first and a bigger, more elaborate ceremony/reception later. Marriage is an interesting thing, filled with compromise and mutual decision-making. And you're right--it's about working together to do what's best for the both of you, which can often be hard.
ReplyDeleteit is good to come down to earth and have these types of humbling experiences. you will both absolutely love Venice, one of my fave, save your money cause it's a pricey little city.
