Some thoughts on marriage, babies, etc.
Marriage makes you remember all the things you were and did and foolishly accomplished when you weren't, like... old relationships, bad situations you found yourself unfortunately in, and realizations that make your marriage a good one. I realized, while looking at old photographs and new ones, that some of the best love in the world are those you can gladly say you were able to let go of because it proved that you were strong when you needed to be, especially when you feel like you couldn't stand up and face another day. But, marriage makes you realize that the best BEST love is the one that you can keep forever with your partner. The one that lacks inhibitions but full of warmth, simplicity, and love. I know this is sappy for some, but it's also true that we're not getting younger. At one point or another, days and years will pass, then we'll be too old for our own good. I guess I didn't want to see that day yet, so I jumped aboard the ship I am now and don't regret it one bit. Marriage makes you strong because you know you are fighting for something when faced with things that may take you astray. The longer you are able to hold on, the more solid your relationship becomes. To have someone do the same thing for you is an inexplicable thought by itself. Lastly... I think one of marriage's powers is this: it makes rainy Tuesday mornings more beautiful, or any rainy day at that.
And as far as babies? Well I can't say much yet since our baby is still in my belly. But.. you will learn this: you will have the great impulse of buying all sorts of baby clothes when the baby is still finalizing its form. You will be tempted to buy everything cute and every little outfit, shoes, and hats that match so him and daddy can dress the same way. Having babies is fun I think.. a boy is just like your little husband and a girl is just like your little self. I'm sure my baby boy will take after his dad. =)
