How to not blow it...

A friend posted a link to this article. I love, love, loved it! Seriously...I LOVED it. Sometimes we let exhaustion, kids, stress, a busy schedule, a pregnancy, sickness, and a litany of other things be excuses for letting ourselves go with our spouse. We get lazy. We don't make them a priority. We just let ourselves be the unfiltered, icky version sometimes, while we muster up enough grace, smiles and energy for the rest of the world. If only you could see me hanging my head in shame as I type this. Guilty. As. Charged.

For that reason, I absolutely love little reminders (or a kick in the pants...whatever works) to get it together. He deserves it. My kids deserve a mom who puts work into her marriage. As we skip along in our 7th year of marriage, I am determined to make Brett feel as loved today as He felt the day I said "I do."

If you know me well, you know that I am in a constant quest to grow, learn and be a better version of myself. I'm just a student by nature, so I am so inspired and motivated by things like this. I hope you are too!

I mean seriously...isn't he worth it? :) Just as handsome today as he was 7 years ago, though I am shocked at how young we looked at our wedding. Are we really getting that old??? OK, don't answer that.
