This was one of the best weekends we have had in a long time, the perfect combo of family, individual, and adult time and complete with great friends, food, laughs, and memories.
We have not used a non-grandparent sitter for Will in awhile and decided to see if his fave former teacher was available for watching him today. She was. What a blast they have had together all day too! Greg and I truly enjoyed spending the day in our old stomping ground of DC, getting to catch up together and with other awesome area friends we haven't seen in awhile. Nothing quite like a beautiful day with perfect company in our fave city! We really are blessed.
Unfortunately, we have seen several close friends go through separations or divorces recently, some of whom also have young children. That's always heartbreaking to see. It's only made open and honest communication even more of a top priority for Greg and me. We aim to never take the other for granted, take time for the other every day, and try to practice empathy for the other.
Marriage is not easy. It takes hard work, compromise, and the ability to make decisions and communicate as a team. We may not always get what we want, and times will certainly not always be easy. I remember our vows well from our wedding over 7 years ago, and we have certainly already been through some difficult times. Luckily, we got through them and emerged stronger, ready to tackle whether challenge or obstacle lies ahead.
Greg is an amazing partner, husband, best friend, and father. I know I am beyond lucky and try my best to let him know this every day, even in the smallest way.
Take time to cherish your loved ones and tell them just how much they mean to you. Life is too short -- and precious -- not to.
