This past weekend my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary together. I cannot believe it has already been a year. So much has happened since then that this first year of marriage has flown by. I think Dennis and I are a strong couple both because of our personalities and because of the things we have been through together. I think the fact that we both are generally pretty laid back and try to go with the flow (him more than I, but I think he has mellowed me out even more). I think this is why we don't argue as much as others, but also why we can do all that we do. Along with this, I think the fact that we have two kids and survived them (so far) without too many arguments, we are stronger. Dennis has an incredible amount of patience, both with me and with life, and this is one of my favorite things about him. I cannot thank him enough for his ability to listen to me rant and deal with my grumpiness when I become overwhelmed by all the things I think I can do at once!
On another note, Dennis and I just were laughing at how unraveled I become when I am sleepy. This morning, after what I felt was a long night of no sleeping with Mason, I came downstairs to change his diaper and clothes at 4:45am in the worst mood. I was grumbling as I changed him (as he was smiling up at me), ignoring his desire to play and talk to me. As I laugh about that, I do feel bad. It is just something that I cannot seem to overcome in those moments. The feeling of really wishing I could just go back to sleep just makes me such a grump. Dennis laughed as he asked if Mason survived the morning. I laughed and told him yes, though it was close. :)
Either way, one year down and many more to go...both as a couple and as parents...
