the "talk" @ 8:40 PM
Recently the hubbs has spent quite a few nights indoors with me as I've finished up assignments, been sick, or needed the extra rest. That's kind of how our marriage has gone. Unfortunately. I've felt miserable about it but never really addressed it because I didn't want to hear the words, "yeah, you're right.." come out of my loving hubby's mouth. But I decided we should talk about our future, since we kind of have a deadline to make a decision. Nothing like starting out a conversation by saying, "I know the first year and a half of our marriage hasn't gone exactly as well as we would've hoped, but maybe we can turn things around before we leave our first home..." Talk about weird.
The hubby was so nice and understanding. I didn't cry, the recent heat wave has more or less dried my eyes out, so I kind of spasmed in his arms as my body cried and my eyes didn't well up. Talking about how things "used" to be when we were dating and how things changed so dramatically after we got married made me feel horrible. I wish I could take back being sick--I wish the doctors would've listened to me and I wish I would've listened to my mom and just gone to the ER instead of trusting my OB to fix everything. But now that I'm back to me, I feel like my husband has lost the thrill of excitement. I guess it's kind of my fault (the being sick part), and he's just learned to live with doing nothing. But that's going to change. We've decided to live it up before we leave Utah. We're not going to worry about getting enough sleep or if it's too cold, we're just going to play and enjoy ourselves because that's who we are. I'm not a sickly person and he's not someone that sits by idly, in fact he was the one that was really really anxious when I first got sick, remember?
I'm so very grateful for a husband that's patient. I'm even more grateful for a loving husband. He's taken care of me so well and I couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the rest of my life with.
Here's to an exciting end of our lives in Provo!!!
