Not to long ago I saw a movie with Eddie called Fireproof. It really made me think about what was important in life. I had been taking my marriage for granted for awhile and never realized it. We were comfortable with each other always taking for granted that the other one would always be there. After seeing that movie and the struggles this couple went through, it made me want more from my marriage. Since then Eddie and I have had ups and downs. I have made the decision to change things and sometimes my expectations from him are set to high and he gets frustrated with me. But we are working through all that and we are doing better than ever. A friend of mine at work helped me realize that for the past nine years my focus has been pretty much totally on LeeAnn and I have sacrificed my relationship with my husband. So, now I focus on us as a family and we are spending so much more time together and just enjoying our little family. Thursday and Friday we spent some time together as a family in Brown County. It was gorgeous down there and we just took in all of God's beautiful creations and enjoyed spending time together. Also, recently, I bought some "conversation cards" from LeeAnn's fundraiser. They are cards that give you things to talk about at the dinner table. We have been making sure we sit down together as a family for dinner and we talk using these cards. It has been nice to hear some of the nice things that LeeAnn and Eddie feel about me and it really is helping us to grow closer as a family. I strongly recommend the movie Fireproof. It is life changing. At least it was for me. Never take anyone for granted because you never know how long they will be there. I know I will never take Eddie for granted again or my beautiful little girl. (who is not so little anymore) Life is good. God is good. I have wonderful family and friends and that is all I can ever want or need! Here are some pics of our trip to Brown County.
