What a Difference a Day Makes

Last year at this time things in our household was very different. I felt trapped and not sure why I was even here. I felt as if I wasn't important, that you could stick any person in my 'job' and no one in my family would notice a difference. I felt like I was losing myself and I didn't know how to find my way.
To be completely honest I was sure that our marriage was on its way to being over. I started to think of a life as a single parent and to me it seemed a doable option. I was tired of deployment, tired of fighting with children and being a sole care provider, tired of being in a geographical place that I don't care for, I was tired of everything in my life. To put it in simple words I was miserable.

Last year just before Women of Faith I was sure that my marriage was over. I didn't have the energy to fight for it anymore. After WoF I had hope that things would be better and we could get through this tough spot. I returned home with hope in my heart and a willingness to change me, focus on me and what I can do to make things different.

You Know You're Married Awhile When.......

.....your husband offers you his socks so you can try on a pair of running shoes. :)

As I laced up my shoes this morning I had a flash back to the first time I attempted to try on these shoes. My husband and I were in the PX and I was putting my bare foot in the shoe. I hate wearing socks. I don't always wear them when I wear running shoes. As I slipped my foot in the shoe a lady that worked there told me that I had to wear socks and she couldn't allow me to try on the shoe. She then stood there until I put it back in the box and on the shelf. Without missing a beat my husband looks and me and says "I will take my sock off and you can use it to try on shoes."
