Enlightening Summer

This summer has been full of craziness and fun. It has also gone by really fast. We have been on a few trips to Yellowstone, Washington, and Canada. Very soon, we are headed to Las Vegas again. We love it there. We have a babysitter for King so that we can enjoy some good quality alone time. Once we come back, my mom is coming to visit which will be awesome. She loves Kingston but she is sad she doesn't get to see him very often. I have also gained a lot of insight this summer. It's hard to sit back and watch people close in your life have family problems. I have seen A LOT of that this summer and it opened my eyes. I realized that I was portraying the classic "nagging wife" to Chez. One day I woke up and said, enough! While I didn't realize before how annoying I probably was, I knew I had to change. How completely unfair it was to a hard working and very loving husband to have to deal with a wife so irritating. Now, I was not always that way. Just on occassion. None the less, it's not appropriate. I opened up to Chez and told him how sorry I was for being that way (not sure he even realized it himself until I pointed it out. I think he grew used to it.) I am so happy that I snapped out of it. Watching the family problems around me really put my behavior into perspective. Chez deserves a happy and loving wife at all times and I am here to be that wife for him. Ever since the discovery of my old ways, I feel like a completely different woman. The more loving and thoughtful I am to my adoring husband, the more I see how happy he is and the more I feel complete gratitude and love for him. This is a wonderful feeling and I encourage any wife who may have some nagging tendancies, to step back and see how hard that could be on a marriage. Now, I know I may have made myself sound like I was a horrible woman, but I wasn't. I was only human and forgot how to treat my husband the way he deserves. He has flaws too, but I love him for all that he is and I KNOW he loves me. I am truly grateful for Chez and for the beautiful family he has given me and will continue to give me.
