He's Trying...

Hubby surprised me a little bit last night/this morning. He played softball and then went out to dinner with his brother-in-law, so he got home late. I was still up and heard the garage door open, but it was taking him forever to make his way into the house, so I peaked my head out to see what he was doing. He flipped out and told me not to look in the car? OK. Then, he hands me a box of warm cookies from Max & Erma's. Yum. So, I eat a cookie while he tells me all about his "all-star" moves at his softball game. It was sweet. So, I woke up this morning and was getting into the car for work when I noticed a picture of him stuck on the dashboard. He left me a really cute little note on the back of the picture. It was especially sweet because the picture is a silly one... he was putting sunscreen on his bald head and was completely white. I took it when we went to the state park a few weeks ago. Made me smile.

I really need that kind of thing once in a while. Otherwise it just seems like we're roommates that sleep together. Especially now that we have a baby - and I'm a firm believer that if you don't put effort into keeping your relationship a priority, it will wither away to nothing. I need to think of something cute to reciprocate with now... Any ideas? I give him cards all the time, so that really isn't all that fun... I'll have to think about this.

Number one it is important to put your marriage first. PERIOD. Because without the marriage there would be no baby.

Do not let Jerry feel that he comes second to Maddy. I've found (through marriage counseling) that talking about how much you appreciate him, telling him when he's done a good job at something and doing something little that he's been meaning to get to -- but coudn't- go along way.

Sounds good though! :)
