Happy Life, Happy Wife

Any day now I’ll get to meet this little guy.  ^Sticking out his tongue

He’s precious already.

From his ears to his toes

My little man

Write about a significant time in your life in just six words.

When I first met Shane, I absolutely loved that he was good at just about everything.  He was smart – and no matter the conversation, he’d always be able to chime in with some facts.  He was handy - and fixed my broken toilet.  He could cook – and was the one that started teaching me.  He was able to do everything that I was either not capable of doing or too afraid to try.

Then I started losing my appreciation of his gifts.  Instead of valuing what he could do, I started to resent what I wasn’t doing.  The better he could do something, the worse I felt about myself.  It got to where I almost hated how he could do everything!  And the worse I felt about myself, the more frustrated and annoyed he got.  What a vicious cycle!

All it took was stepping back from it a bit and realizing that just because he is good at something it doesn’t make me any less of a person.  In fact, in reality I must be quite brilliant to have picked him!

Cooking it up

Yummy!

It doesn’t look like much, but it’s a nice little twist on a plain sandwich

I’d also like to share this recipe:  Baked Apples with Maple Walnut Sauce

It’s an old one but a good one, and I’ve been craving it lately!!
