Life is exciting ya know. People getting married and having babies and graduating from things. We are doing none of that, but ya know, it's exciting! For other people! Although speaking of babies yesterday I got the most massive paper cut of existence and not long after decided NATURAL CHILDBIRTH IS OUT OF THE QUESTION. Because, because it is.
We're still pluggin away over here in California. My job remains a God send of downtime and little stress. Brad's job situation remains complicated and confusing. Hey yo! But don't worry, we are seasoned wait-er's and pass the time making healthy dinners, taking a no dessert stand only to give in an hour later and watching baseball games.
The other night I came home from work and Brad had started on dinner. The smell of barbecue chicken made its way from the grill. I threw off my flats and started cutting the veggies into little slices. We chatted about our day and the traffic. I told Brad about the epic paper cut while he flipped the chicken. There were little hugs and hands on backs while we each attended to our portion of dinner. He plated, I grabbed drinks and forks, hit the kitchen light and followed him to the living room.
I thought about our home, our dinners together, our little cooking conversations.
"This is what I always wanted marriage to be", I said.
Even when things get confusing, there is so much to be thankful for.
