People are always asking me, "how's married life?" The last eight months have been awesome....Chris and I are so blessed and grateful for our family and friends who have supported us. This week has also been one of reflection as it marked the 49th wedding anniversary of Chris's parents, and the 9th anniversary of his father's passing. For me, after watching my mom go through losing my dad, and seeing the struggles Chris's mom has gone through after losing her husband, I am constantly reminded not to take one day for granted. Sometimes it is hard to remember with the 'in your face' wave of technology and social media always reaching out for our attention. Sometimes I feel like we are bombarded with emails, twitter, facebook, and with Chris in season, players texting him sometimes in the late hours of the night wanting his attention, or my need to plan lessons or grade assignments. Those couple of hours we have at home together each night go by so quickly, then it's time for bed, and we are up and at it the next day. But every day, we know to say we love each other, even if we are upset or irritated, because we both have experienced, as many of you, that life is sometimes shorter than what we anticipate. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father helped me find such a sweet man. He may not be perfect in the world's eye, but he's perfect in mine. Take some time to tell those you love, whether it be your spouse, parents, brother, sister, niece, nephew, or a friend, how much you love and appreciate them. It doesn't have to be anything extravagent....a text, a phone call, a quick note, an email...however you do it, just make sure you do it! Have a wonderful weekend!
