Marriage



Here's to Marriage........Brendan's latest theme when Bob or I say no to him doing something is, "you guys can't even make decisions on your own...you have to check with each other". (In his moment of anger.)
He actually gave me the revelation...."Yes, you're right Bren...that's what marriage is about...helping each other and making decisions together." Wow-it took a 15 year old to show me that our marriage is working the way it should.

Another thought...I was telling someone how Bob is so easy going and takes his time with things and I am like the complete opposite...but I found myself saying, "and it works well that way. We are a good pair".

I was recently emailing a relative and talking about young love and how I met Bob... I wrote, "yeah, marrying your uncle was by far the best decision I've made in my life."

Ok, so next time I am angry with Bob about something little that seems huge, I will revert to this entry to remember that....it's all good.....love is forever....love is trying and yet satisfying....love is work and fun.....love is what has created everything that is of value to me in my life right now.... not just love, but my love for Bob. ILY honey!

    The best thing I ever did (By Far!) was asking you to marry me. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me. You are an amazing person and mother! I love you.

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
