Travis and I have been married for about 3 1/2 years. We've been actually physically together much less than that. But when you consider that God brought together two people who've basically been single for at the very least a decade then you would understand why we've spent less time together.
This year we've spent an entire full fledge year together, aside from work, we were together day in and day out. We made goals and focused on them. And yes we've argued and fought. Our initial goals came through, it was easier to make the next set of goals and they are also working, although we haven't reached the end of them,, we definitely will.
I believe that both of us still have reservations, maybe not about the state of our marriage, we are both too damned stubborn to give up on that after all we've been through.....but maybe the little things.
Sometimes I think he takes way too much and gives way too little, and I'm sure sometimes he believes the same. At the end of the day, we've both done what needed to be done to reach those goals we set.
I think maybe our jobs differ, and here's where I think they differ. I'm the one that will take care of the little things. The house, animals, relationships, groceries...ok, you get it, I'm basically the housewife. Though I still work and contribute. Travis has a career as well, and on Monday's he always sees that the trash is carried to the road...Ok, in a pinch, he can and will do much more than that. I'm just trying to lay out a story line here.
When it comes to the big stuff, like household repairs, appliances, etc....It's him that carries the load. Ultimately when it comes down to it, we both carry our load but we do it in totally different ways. And maybe that's how we work.
My initial reason for posting was that I wanted to say that my husband likes to say that my parents spoiled me rotten. Especially when he's trying to get my goat and I do have to give him that I came from a very strong, loving family. My mother was a coddler and I learned true real life, only after I left home. But I did succeed in becoming an accomplished adult ;) I didn't have everything and anything handed to me, other than love.
The irony here (Oh yeah, that was the main idea of the story) is that my husband has taken the role of them. He has seen to it that I have been given the very best that he can offer, he supports me, he pushes me to pursue my dreams and he stands by me. He is truly my mate, my soul mate.
Yeah I'm a little spoiled......We worked hard for what we've got and where we've come.
And I kinda like it! Thank you Baby!!
