While picking up some more overpriced food for our new healthy lifestyle, I heard a voice say: "Do you really?". An audible voice. Not one in my head. A real live voice.
I continue to look at my peanuts, checking carbs (for Max's diabetes), protein and calorie count for Matt and I, and am just about to place them in the cart when I here: "Do you really?", even louder.
I look up to see a woman standing next to me and looking right at me. I politely asked her, "Are you talking to me?" and the following conversation takes place:
Lady: "Yes, I'm talking to you. Do you really"?
**I look at her, at my jar of peanuts, back at her and dumbfoundedly answer:
"Do I really what....need these peanuts....yeah I kind of do."
Lady: "No, love your husband" "Do you really love your husband"?
WHAT?!?! I look down to realize I'm wearing my shirt that says I LOVE MY HUSBAND across the front.
I quickly answered that yes, I do in fact love my husband very much and that he's a great guy. She looked at me, turned and walked towards the wine aisle saying nothing else.
Alrighty then strange Kroger shopping lady.

It's Summer
I know because:
*My bathtub is regularly coated in dirt and sand now.
*I have counted swimming and playing in the hose as a "shower" on more than one occasion.
*Their is always a grass trail from the backdoor to the refrigerator and the bathroom.
*I have found wet underwear on my porch on more than one occasion...I've actually had to ask "Whose underwear are these and who isn't wearing any?", more than once.
*My children have had freeze pops before 10am more than once.
*I've found cups in the fort of the swing set"
*We are ALL covered in more mosquito bites than we have skin.
*I regularly brush dirt and sand off my kids sheets.
*Our boys now ask why they have to go to bed when it's still light out.
*I hear "CAN WE PLAY IN THE WATER", before my eyes even open in the morning.
*There is constantly a pile of wet swimsuits in my bathtub and no towels in my closet.
*My children have gone outside in their jammies to play.
*We have had to search more than once for shoes in the yard.
*I've had many instances of shrieking children because bees are chasing them...yes, I have boys...don't ask.

Ten Years
I've been married for 10 years. TEN...YEARS. Ten years is a long time. Matt and I have been together for 13 years. I barely feel old enough to be with the same man for that long. Am I really old enough to have been with someone for 13 years...and married for 10 of them!?!? Where does the time go? I'm almost afraid to blink for fear that the next 10 will go by even faster!
In ten years I feel like I've learned some things about marriage. I by NO means have it all figured out. In fact, we had a nice arguement just the other day...about something that I continue to do that really bothers him...but I digress. Since I love making lists, let me begin:
*Marriage is work. HARD work.
*Laughter really is the best medicine. If you can't laugh with each other and at yourselves than you are in trouble.
*Communication is key.
*He can't hear me when he's watching sports.
*I can't hear him when I'm reading a blog...well, I can hear him, but I can't respond.
*Children add a lot of stress to a marriage.
*Children bring immense joy to your marriage.
*Your love will change...in it's scope and it's definition.
*Money will always be a source of tension.
*A kind answer is always best.
*Honesty is ALMOST always the best policy. There are a few areas where a slight "fib" are in your husbands best interest..."yes, dear, your dinner tastes wonderful...even though it's burnt to a crisp"...or "no, your butt doesn't look big".
*The word "boobs" will always get your husbands attention. Yes, I said it.
*We may NEVER like the same movies.
*Life will be full of trials and tribulation, but a faithful partner will make the walk easier to bear!
*There will be some issues where you will NEVER see eye to eye and that's ok.
*Your intimacy level will change from your honeymoon to year 10. It doesn't mean it should...but it will.
*When you see your husband hold your child for the first time, you'll never love him more.
*Life goes by at a whirlwind pace.
*Don't yell
*Nice matters.
*Make time for dates.
Just a bit of my profound thoughts.
