Today was a good day. Church was great..we had a guest speaker, which I always like. Sometimes it's just refreshing to hear something different. I think every church has a calling..it's good to hear what other churches are doing right now.
This afternoon my in-laws came over to my parent's house for a crawfish boil..the crawfish were really good as usual. Afterwards, we took my in-laws on a tour of the crawfish ponds. My mother in law looooves birds. She loves to just sit and watch them. I love that about her. I love when people can just stop and appreciate the things that God created..I really like when we take people to see the swamps..my younger brother is a really good tour guide. He knows what almost every type of bird are..he knows all of the different plants and trees. He knows all about the soil, water..everything. I love this about him. I always learn something new when I am around him. He really loves the land..I love it very much as well, and would live right in the middle of it if I could..but I married a city boy so that won't ever happen I think! I always thought that I would marry a farmer. I love how laid back and patient they can be. Although my father was always either in his tractor or in the field, I really love that he was a farmer. I think it teaches you so many lessons. He had to learn to be patient..waiting on crops to grow and such. He knows so many things about nature..just simple things. I'm always amazed when he can just stand outside for one second and tell you which way the wind is blowing, whether it will rain, or what time it is simply by looking at the sky. I love that. I love my husband very much and I'm so thankful for him..he is very far from being a farmer! But he really loves being outside and appreciates everything in nature. We walked the ponds today..we weren't really saying much, just walking, holding hands..enjoying "God's country" as my dad calls it. We were completely comfortable that way..just walking together, hand in hand. I feel like this is where we are right now in our marriage, and that makes me very happy..(I know this post totally didn't go where I thought it would..)
We have gone through hell and back over the past year and a half..almost didn't make it. It's such an awesome thing that we are finally on the same page..just walking together towards our future, while enjoying the present. I know it's a daily process..always learning more about each other..how to communicate..how to serve one another. I think a lot of people are just striving to just have a happy marriage..and they think that they will just arrive there one day..but the truth is that every single day you have to work at it. Every single day you have to choose to serve the other person..Every single day you have to continue to communicate with each other..It's not easy. It's the hardest thing I've ever done. But we are gonna make it..as long as I live..I swear I'll see this through.
