Yeah For Us!!!!!!

We went to counseling yesterday and it was the first time we went and had no fights to talk about. We usually talk about our previous week and what fights we had so we can figure out triggers and what was going on at the time, along with how we handled it and I'm so happy and proud to say that in the past week we have had NOT ONE SINGLE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We figured out that R's job was causing a great deal of strain on our relationship and since that has calmed down it's helping our marriage a lot. Another thing that's changed is that I've let go of obsessing so much about the house and cleaning. I do things each day in the form of housework but I'm letting some stuff go, it's helped soooooo much. Lastly, I'm getting out of the house and getting school work done so that's not overly stressing me out.

We are spending time together and we are having so much fun. Last night we watched the basketball game and I made pizza rolls (homemade). We usually sit in separate places, him in his chair that he loves and me on the couch, but last night he shared the couch with me! Tonight we are grilling and watching hockey so that should be fun. He's also teaching me how to use some web publishing software for my portfolio that I have to create for one of my classes. Right now he's at a kids movie with Little man and I'm cleaning and getting some things done. Later today I'm meeting my friend for lunch and then we are going to see the new Se.x and the Ci.ty movie. I'm so excited that things are going so much better! I realize that everything isn't perfect or completely better but we have made A TON of progress in the right direction and the communication lines are open, finally!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!
