Support your Husband (and wife for that matter)

I'm not going to lie, I was over-zealous about writing a blog everyday for this challenge with Dave. Working on the relationship is much easier than finding time and energy to write a blog. But, I'm going to keep at it!

Day 9 and Day 10:

Day 9's challenge was to take the negative list we wrote of the other person the day before and destroy it! It actually said to burn it so I got all symbolistic and burned it. Well, burned half of it and then thought I was gong to burn down the coffee table. After that we were suppose to praise the other person for an accomplishment they have done lately. I told Dave I was proud of him for kicking ass at work and he praised me for putting together our wedding and how smoothly it all came together. I see all these quotes about looking forward in life and that's what today's lesson taught me. I always want to look back and I feel that people owe me things for the wrong they have done to me in the past but that's just giving the past a place in the present and it don't belong here. My happiness and positive relationship with Dave belongs here!

Day 10's challenge was greet your spouse in a way you hope to greet them on a daily basis- smiling and enthusiasm and such. So, what else do guys want to see than a not fully clothed wife? Nothing! Maybe a new playstation but I don't have the funds for that at the moment so Dave will have to settle with just me ;) I'm not going to greet him like that everyday but I do want him to know that I'm excited to see him so a playful hug and kiss will have to do.

So far so good on this first year of marriage. We're having fun with each other and enjoying the more intense bond we have now. When people talk to me about how they aren't ready and how they may never get married because they are happy where they are now I feel bad for them. Granted this is only from my experience and perspective but I love showing the world that I am committed to this guy and this relationship. It truly is a stronger bond and I'm happier in this kind of relationship than any I have had before including the ones with Dave. I have this companion and support for the rest of my life and that makes it feel different. The everyday life stuff is the same but we are connected on a higher level now. I'm proud to call Dave my husband and I couldn't imagine not having him as my spouse. He's stuck with me now!
