All About Us

So I ordered this book from Books A Million in the bargain section a few months ago called "All About Us'. Well I thought it was going to be like this happy how we met, our first date type of book. Instead its like an 150 page book getting down to the nitty gritty of your marriage and your life as individuals. I filled out my part about a week ago and this morning my husband filled out his part. He had to go to work (on Sunday...of course) but I've been reading over it and some of it has been so surprising to me. Some things I definitely knew that I would know his answers but some of them were like way out of left field. Even after 6 years of marriage though it was nice to read things that I liked and even some that I didn't like. I didn't realize that it would bother him if I got remarried if anything were to happen to him and that he probably wouldn't get remarried. It just opened my eyes up to a lot and was well worth the time it took to fill out.

We are at a place in our marriage where we really depend on eacn other for a lot and we have become 'used to' each other. I'm still very much in love with him and he is in love with me but I think that we need to start being more spontaneous again and outgoing like we used to. I think we will be that way again once we get to the fleet and he gets some normal hours and all that. I am really looking forward to that time in our lives. Yes deployments will loom overhead again and I already got that lecture once this weekend, but deploying would make my husband happy...not so much for him being in 'the action' again but because he wants to take someone elses spot that has been filling his spot since he was there last, I think that is admirable. Mike loves being a Marine and everything about it and I am so proud of him.

In other news, I have 2 final exams this week which I only need a 40 on either one to pass the class with a C or above and I'll have my ASSOCIATES DEGREE!! I am SOOO proud of myself! NO ONE thought I could do it!
