And I said, what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?.... Well that's the one thing we've got.

I love Jason, he is my soul mate but sometimes I feel like we have nothing in common. We do have things in common, it’s just that we are on year 3 of living completely different lives and only seeing each other on the weekend… it’s hard but I know I need to be thankful for the support that he gives me, that we’re both following our dreams and that our future will be even brighter after May 13, 2011.


I remember back before I started OT school, we’d have dinner together every night, we’d go shopping, go out, whatever but now we only see each other on Friday afternoon through Monday morning and soon that’ll change to Sunday nights. Sadly, the majority of our time now is spent doing home things like cleaning, laundry and cooking and we’re so strapped for cash and we live so far out it’s hard to just go do something on a whim. One of the other issues we’re struggling with is the fact that we’re both so use to being alone that we are stuck in our own routine and forget how important it is to think about what the other person would like to do as a couple not as two individuals that just happen to be living and sleeping together. I refer to this as “roommate stage”. It’s important to fight the roommate phase, fight for romance, fight for time to laugh, be thankful and enjoy one another.

When we first got married a little over 7 years ago we started out in a little one bedroom apartment across from MTSU, we were both still in school and were working our asses off but we were together. Every second we had we’d spend together even if it was mundane. I remember we’d drag our laundry down the stairs and down the block to Suds N’ Duds. We’d wash them and put them in dryer and walk over to have dinner at La’Siesta then we’d spend what seemed like hours folding, discussing the day and laughing. Sure it sounds kinda lame but I remember it fondly, laundry and date night.

Marriage is hard, it’s beautiful and rewarding but it is hard. I personally think it’s even harder when you’ve been together for awhile and have in massive amounts of time apart. Jason and I’ve been together for 10 years and through it all we both continue to grow and change. It’s amazing that I get to spend my life with someone so awesome. We’re like two beautiful trees, totally different but met in the middle, hooked together and are becoming one tree that’s even better than either one of us could have ever been on our own.

I can't wait for Tuesday... Jason and I'll have a full week together and then.... December 19 we'll be moving to the city of lights for 2 weeks. I can't think of anything else that can help reallign our souls as travel to the most romantic city in the world.
