August 17th

Well it's August 17th and I only made it to day 2 of posting everyday in August. The last few weeks have been among some of the toughest weeks of my life. Our basement flooded at the end of July and that brought in fleas, so we have been vigorously cleaning, vacuuming everyday, throwing away things that got destroyed, etc. on top of our usual schedule of work, school, and other commitments. So to say it's been crazy is definitely an understatement.

It's been interesting though, I've learned that I can be very calm during times of high stress, but in my calm I hold it all in, only to explode later. Which is something I really need to work through because those exploding moments are just terrible, I feel terrible, I treat the people around me terribly, I shut down, I feel like a toddler having a temper tantrum, I feel out of control, it is just no fun. But Josh has been amazing through it all, he deserves a metal, or a trophy.

I want to dedicate the rest of this post to my amazing husband. Our three year wedding anniversary was on Wednesday, and I am so thankful for a husband who wants to see me grow, who is honest with me, who supports me and who works hard. Being married to me is not easy (hello explosions I mentioned in the paragraph above) but he has stuck by me and been there for me throughout all of my craziness, and for that I am so thankful. I love you Josh, to infinity and beyond.

How has it been THREE years since this amazing, beautiful, wonderful day?
