This is my first post since February. We got the internet again, mostly for Leo's sake for school and financial things. Our own 'financial' situation seems to be getting better as the months go by. We're spending less and using more of our money to pay off debt and (obviously) pay our monthly bills, which is a great thing for us. Back before 09', we were spending our money left and right on things we never needed, only things we wanted and desired.
Our marriage was on the rocks earlier this year...and it actually started back up again during the early summer, when Leo had left for annual training, and it was more of me this time. I broke down, crying when i came to realization of what i did (the Lord said that even thinking lust is adultery) after watching John Hagee preach about families and fathers. Knowing I couldn't keep it from Leo (even though everyone else was telling me it was no big deal...i wasn't like everyone else. I had standards for myself and I ripped those standards apart) and told him how ashamed i was. We made a pact! Now, it seems like our marriage is doing a whole lot better. We went on a date a few days after he got back from Washington state. He surprised me by taking me to Applebees (our very first date we went on when we met...how sweet) and then we went to the movie theater to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which was a movie both of us were dying to see. it was a great night. We then decided that date night had to be mandatory. Although we don't go out and spend money, we still make date night. Putting the kids to bed early, we'll put a movie on and cuddle on the couch with a bag of popcorn. those nights seem to be the best. I'm hoping this continues on, because no one really ever wants to see their marriage fail. It doesn't make you feel good, warm, loved or wanted inside. I love my husband very much and do believe that my husband loves me just as much back.
I've recently started babysitting my neighbor's 4 year old son, named Brayden who's Hayden's best friend. How cute, right?! their names rhyme. lol.
Leo has gotten me more interested in politics and I have been speaking my opinions about it (really just on facebook)...getting a bit of criticism, but then again....most of my friends are Liberal. I'm obviously Conservative. I'm so glad i married a man who shares the same viewpoints as I do :) I don't agree with the healthcare bill....really mostly what the obama administration is doing to this country. all the hypocrisy is getting on my nerves...and there's alot of it in there!!! however, i don't want to get into it all....then my post would be huuuuuge!!! lol
i'm out!
God Speed,
