worrying about a happy life


This week was a good one. They really are all good ones but life can get a little bit overwhelming sometimes and I think we had a little bit of that this week.

Some definite highlights were when we stayed up religiously watching Suits every night and I have an update that our Monopoly Deal obsession has remained un-phased. I love that we find lots of joy in doing simple things. :) It makes me realize that I am content with simple joys. Sometimes that is a hard thing to say. I find myself thinking about the things/money we don't have but I always come back to the idea that I need to look at life through my eyes and not through someone else's. I always have to take a step back and look from a different perspective.

Another highlight we had was we went rock climbing with Kaylie and Dallin this week, it was lots of fun. We got a gym membership so I imagine that we are going to be going a lot for the next little while.

Me and Jack were having a talk about money that turned into a disagreement that came out of left field...so then I asked, HONEY what is going on? He kind of calmed down and we had a talk about his worries about a career and how he is graduating from college and that its not enough..I looked at him and just shook my head because IT IS ENOUGH. Its funny because I do that to myself all the time (talk myself down, make my efforts seem useless) and somehow I justify and think its okay, but the second my handsome, smart, logical husband has a confidence crisis I CAN'T HANDLE IT. I want to make him feel okay and feel loved and make it all better...but the hardest part is when I have to sit back and think that this is something I just have to let him worry about. Uhhh being a wife is hard.

I think these are the moments in marriage when people say "marriage is hard." But I don't think marriage is hard. Life is hard and sometimes that can be blamed on marriage...marriage is beautiful, but life..yeah that can be hard.

Here's to simple weeks when my highlights are buying a membership to momentum and watching Jack dance to the opening song of Suits. :)
