Looking Back

When looking back at my life and marriage, I would have to say I am pretty happy with it. My family and I are closer then we were when I wasn't married. My sister and I are best friends now and we see each other every weekend if we can just to have our time.

My husband and I are doing awesome together. We had a rough patch in our marriage but who doesn't hit bumps when the things get tough and strained I'm some way or another. It took us years to make it happy again. When I look back at when we were first married and I look at our pictures we looked so innocent and unknowing of the world, now when I look at recent pictures I see that we have grown and learned to be the people we need to be to support our relationship and our lives. We are still individuals, but individuals whose souls are tied together. I am going for my degree for not only me, but for my small family. I have new goals in life regarding my degree plan. I get weird looks when I tell people I don't want children, but really it's not just my decision but Ski's as well. We decided to not have kids, because of our degree goals in life would just take away from our children and that's not fair to them. We would rather have a house full of dogs because then we could love them when we could and they wouldn't be emotionally hurt. I hope that the changes that are coming in our future will be the pleasant ones that will help us grow together.
