Date Night (with my husband)

Date Number #1, with my husband.
Date night was actually enjoyable. No kids. Starbucks. Movie. Wings and Beer.

Except the combo of starbucks and wings was a bad idea, but

we really wanted to have/do everything we love.

So despite the upset stomach and "too tired for Sex" later that night,

Date = success

Absence

I do believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
My husband started a new job and has worked 10am to 8pm for five days straight. When he gets home I'm so happy to see him. We talk and laugh and kiss and cuddle.
When we were stuck inside for two days because of a snow storm, we almost got a divorce. Why is that?
Maybe humans are not supposed to be with their lover, constantly.
We need our own space to breathe. I enjoy when my husband is gone. I scrapbook, read, watch stupid TV, and sing to Glee songs.
But, having him gone 50+ hours a week is hard, too.
Do you agree? Would you rather have your loved one constantly around or do you need space?

Girl. No.2

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

Rules

It’s been 2 months since I began my search for love. I’ve gotten some bad advice, mostly from Hollywood. I’ve been reading a lot. I’ve been listening to love songs. I’ve talked to couples who have wonderful marriages. I’ve talked to women who are unhappy.

I keep coming back to “Sex and the City.” Crazy, right? Here’s what I keep thinking about: this idea that you can write our own rules. Rules that allow you to be comfortable and happy in your relationship. Rules that may clash with those of an orthodox marriage. Rules that justify open marriages and multiple partners. Rules that justify not wearing a wedding band.

Are you allowed to make up your own rules? As long as both are on board?

Vacation

Girl No.2

I have been on vacation from the blog/life, but I'm back and ready for writing!
In the next couple of days, I'm going to post the interview I did with my Grandparents, who have been married for 60 years. I learned a lot from them and can't wait to share with my readers.

Soon to come!
