Not For The Weak

What isn't for the weak, you may ask?

Marriage.

At least in my opinion. Marriage is a wonderful institution created by God. It's something that most little girls dream about and it is always portrayed in movies as something it isn't.

Marriage is hard.

Sure, movies show a fight or something, and then something really cheesy makes it all okay again and tada! "The End". It isn't real life marriage. There are arguments. There are fights. There are tears. There are real life situations. And I am thankful (now) for everyone who kept telling us "Don't give up when you fight. Fights happen. The first year is extremely hard. It takes a lot of getting used to."

I remember the night we got engaged, I went to go show my Grandma and Grandpa the ring Matt gave me. She looked right at Matt and I and said "People may say marriage is 50/50. But it isn't; it is 100/100. Each of you HAVE to give 100% of yourself to each other for this marriage to work."

Great advice anyone could give an engaged couple, in my opinion.

I'm not going to lie. My marriage is hard. There are a LOT of bumps in the road right now, but even though it is hard, it brings us closer when we solve something or when we work a fight out. It also brings us closer to God, which is amazing :)

Yesterday, the 19th, marked 8 months for Matt and I. I can't believe we let if pass without acknowledging it lol I realized that today was the 20th, and I was like, "Wow, yesterday was our eight months." lol Do people "celebrate" the months? Or just acknowledge it? Hmmmm....

I can't wait til we celebrate our 1 year anniversary! I have such an AMAZING idea for a present for him. I'm not going to mention it, because he knows about this blog lol But all I am going to say is that it will be awesome :D

In other news, I have a job interview tomorrow morning. I've been excited for it all weekend :) I pray it goes well. It is a well paying job and that would help us out a LOT for bills and for gifts for Christmas. So, please pray I do amazingly well in the interview and that I am offered the job. Thank you!!

Well, I guess this is enough for the night. I am exhausted. I didn't get much sleep at all over this weekend. Whew!
