Life

Lately I have been going about my day without "background noise." I haven't had the TV on, just to have it on, or had much music playing or anything like that. I have noticed in the past several days of this, that I have much more time to think. Since I am a woman, and I tend to have "horomonal moments" every now and then, all this extra time to think put my brain on overload I think! For the first time since having Steve, I started having a small pity party for myself here and there, feeling down about stupid, and overall, unimportant things. For some reason, last night it all piled up in my brain at once and I was feeling very down. Since there wasn't really just one big reason, just a lot of little ones, I knew it would all go away eventually and I'd be back to "normal." Well, as we were getting ready to go to bed last night, my sweet, sweet husband noticed my down-ness and very sweetly asked if I was ok. I shrugged it off. He then very sweetly asked if I was sad. So, I told him that I was just having a weird few days but I'd be fine. And being the man that he is, he promptly told me to take some vitimin B, and all would be solved. Ha! Men have solutions for everything! I had just read a very interesting article earlier yesterday about good communication in a marriage and decided I better tell him right then, that a solution was not what I really wanted to hear. After I explained myself, and as we were laying in bed, me still feeling down, and Jesse trying (again) to figure me out, I decided to try and tell him exactly how I was feeling. It basically boiled down to having a few not so great, but not so bad days where I just wasn't feeling all that great about some things about me. Jesse patiently listened to what I am sure was a random assortment of thoughts that probably didn't make much sense, and then responded. His response is the whole reason I even post this long story. He proceeded to tell me exactly what I needed, and wanted to hear. He told me the way HE saw me, and in more than one sentence! He continued until he could tell I was going to be ok. I love my husband! He doesn't always say exactly what I want or need to hear, but when he does, he hits it out of the park! Last night I was able to see a glimpse of what our Heavenly Father sees in each of us, and it was through my wonderful husband. And thanks to him, I felt 100 times better. I am so glad I have such a loving husband! He never ceases to amaze me, and he never stops trying to say exactly what I want and need to hear! I love you Jesse! I just had to let everyone else know how wonderful you are too! Thanks babe!
