I Wish

In my Dare to Dream giveaway post I asked what everyone's wish was.  I thought it was only fair that I should share what my wish is.

For my children I wish for them to have a happy and healthy childhood.  I wish for them to grow into happy, productive adults.  Adults who find joy in doing what they love.  Who find that person with whom they want to spend the rest of their lives with and raise children with.

For our family I wish for us to be happy together.  To be able to continue to work through any silly little problems that come up.  For us to continue to laugh together and enjoy our time together.  For us to be able to have financial stability.  For us to be able to make it to Disneyland while the kids are still young.

For my husband and I, I wish for our love to continue to grow.  For him to continue to make me roll my eyes at the silly things he does.  For him to laugh at my sarcastic responses.  For us to grow old together.

I also wish that I will someday be able to visit Aberdeen, Scotland.  To be able to visit Forbes Castle and do some family history research.  I wish for my migraines to go away or at least become treatable.  I wish that my upcoming foot surgery will go well and help my issue, not make it worse.  I wish for more books to read.  For less stress and more smiles and laughter. 

Choose Your Love, Love Your Choice

"The worst day here is better than the best day there."  I'm paraphrasing here, Paul Jr (from American Chopper) said that on his show.  I could really identify with that statement.  When I was married to my ex things weren't happy. Things were pretty darn miserable.  They started out fantastic, fabulous even. Then it went down hill really quickly.  Even on the good days I was waiting for the bad, knowing it was lurking around the corner. So it really is true that the worst days here are better than the best days there.  I have to say that I am so lucky to have my husband in my life!  He is the most amazing man and I am so grateful for him every day.  Even on our worst days, which are few and far between, it's not that bad.  Like any couple, we have our differences.  That's to be expected in any relationship, whether it be a friendship or more.  Those differences don't have to be a major issue within the relationship.  I have found that our marriage is a partnership.  Even when we disagree, our love for each other overshadows whatever it is that is irking us.  That's how it should be.  It's okay to disagree, to get a bit ticked off at each other.  It's more important though to remember how much you love and care for the other person while you are having that disagreement.  At the end of the day, those little things don't matter.  I know that is easy to say and often it isn't that easy.  I will be forever grateful for my sweet husband.  For his love.  For his patience.  For his friendship.  He's amazing.  I did choose him as my love and I do love my choice.
