Marriage... Then comes baby...

Well here we are in the 2nd Trimester now with our first baby. I am amazed at how much 2 married people can experience in life together, in such a short time. 3 years can feel like 10 and yet still seem like time flew by. We have learned so much, about ourselves, each other, our families, occupations, neighborhoods and what "makes or breaks" us basically. We have shared moments that are far too amazing and beautiful for any book or motion picture to even attempt to portray. We have literally laughed to tears and also had days where we have had to kiss tears away. Marriage is one big beautiful challenge. We have learned so much about the balance thats needed in every ingredient in marriage. Balance is what keep things working smoothly. Polishing the rough edges, or the areas we may not see eye to eye exactly, is a process. Polishing is what makes whats good, great about love.

 Clear communication and willingness to put in what it takes are what I have found to be most important things to figure out in marriage. It takes two willing people who want to make the most of the life they are creating together. Sometimes one person is weak and needs some strengthening, but when those weak moments are used, to then,  push you forward, theres no stopping the progress and happiness of the marriage. The weak moments aren't meant to be feared, but learned from. As is life.

I am grateful for my deep desire I have always had to create a happy marriage and family one day. Its what drove me to better myself and aim higher with whom I set my heart on for forever. Its what drives me now,  as I carry our baby, as I envision the eternal happiness my children CAN have if I help do all that I can to show them the right things. Its what drives me to keep the fire in my marriage every day. That drive to have that fairytale is why I care and remember to be romantic, or strong, or funny throughout our everyday routines.

I am grateful that my husband grew up with two parents who have been in love since day one, and raised him with the good characteristics he needed to become the man I need and dreamed to have one day. Im grateful that my husband has the same vision that I do of how we will make our own fairytale and raise our kids to learn what matters most and put family first.

This new step of finally becoming parents has strengthened our love and devotion to each other and increased that desire we have to build the family life we always dreamed. I feel our little one taking all of my energy already and I know its a small sacrifice compared to the life I will see we created. I know it won't be an easy task but like all opposition here in this life, the reward will be that much sweeter. I am so grateful for our little baby, who has already filled our hearts.

 Life is Beautiful
