the HONEYMOONERS

for those of you who may still be on Marriage Problems 3.0, allow me to come right out and talk about how great my marriage has become. i realized when i was talking to Mama B a few weeks ago... that she had no clue that we even HAD problems.... and that makes me think that some of you may still think that we are struggling.


yes, i have dropped hints about how things have gotten better, but let me proclaim to the world that things here are "Back To Normal"

after a lot of pain, tears, raised voices, silence, and resentment, and apologies, i can finally say that we have come through the worst of it and have made it back to good. if not better.

we are happy again in our marriage. something that neither of us has experienced in over a year. and it is AWESOME.

i mean, how nice is it that my husband and i can't sit within 3 feet of each other and NOT be touching?
how nice is it to be excited when he comes home, and i actually get a small case of butterflies each day before i wake him up?
how cool is it to look at him with a contented look on his face and KNOW i put it there?
how great is it that for once,we don't dread the time we have together and we don't look for other things to fill it?
how amazing is it that we COMMUNICATE with each other?
how awesome is it that we have feelings towards each other and they aren't ANGER or INDIFFERENCE?

we have gotten back to that cute couple that makes you want to vomit if you spend any length of time with them. (i kinda like that)


and sure, we had a HARD road. and we had some HUGE obstacles... and we had to hit ROCK BOTTOM and do some serious re-evaluating... but hey, baby, look at us now.


so i want to thank EVERYONE for what they did for us, whether it was support, or understanding, or listening, or hugging, or just being there for us. i know some people played weird roles in helping us see what we were fighting for. and if it weren't for those people, we might never have realized that things were really as bad as they were and we BOTH needed a swift kick in the ass.

like the saying goes, you don't know what you have until you lose it (or almost lose it)

so, this is my announcement that the bad times are over... and happily ever after is STILL a reality.
