Today is my nephew's 3rd birthday!! I remember three years ago when he was born I went to visit and hang out with Joanna to make her feel special for a few days. I remember being there and being so upset because Alex wasn't talking to me. I would stay up ALL night long thinking about what I was going to do about the situation. I wish I had told myself to go to sleep and not worry about it because now here we are three years later getting married. haha. That is how life is sometimes.
Today Alex and I were talking about marriage and how we want ours to be. And the truth of it is...we can most definitely have anything we want out of the marriage if we work at it. I know the areas I personally struggle with and need to work on and I assume he knows his areas as well. The other day Anne and I were talking to this really cute couple who had been married for 36 years. You could just tell how much they loved each other and how happy they looked so Anne asked what it is about their marriage that keeps it going and the woman said there is no hate between the two of them. That kind of reminded me of Alex and I. We really don't fight at all. When I worked at Cato I was telling my boss how good Alex and I meshed together and I told her we never argued and she said "I think that is bad and it shows a lack of passion". I felt so bad about that for along time and i just can't help but feel like what she said came from a bit of jealousy. If I came from a relationship where the only time I felt any passion for the other person is after fighting then I guess I would say that too.
