It's the Small Things

We snapped this selfie about a month ago while on vacation with the kids and some friends in Orlando... ⁣⁣🌴 ⁣⁣ It had been a LONG day. Em was in her stroller right in front of us screaming, Austyn was tired & ready to go back to the hotel. And me too if it meant the whining & fussing would stop. ⁣⁣ But, I’d told Jay at the beginning of the trip that I really wanted a picture next to a BIG Christmas tree. This was our last night & we hadn’t done it yet. So, he stopped me as we were leaving. Put his hand right on my back & said “you’ll regret it if we don’t.” I knew he was right. He knows me & my NEED to make the most of basically everything. So he... Made. It. Happen. That’s just the kind of guy he is. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ He doesn’t always understand the silly little things that matter to me but he always TRIES. And, you guys, I think that’s what matters most!! The first time I got married I didn’t really know how much CHOOSING had to happen in a long term relationship. I thought so much of relationship was supposed to come naturally, without thinking. But, I went into this second marriage eyes wide OPEN. ⁣⁣ Everyday is going to be different. Some days will be good. Some will be bad. Sometimes your kids will be screaming. And other times they’ll be screaming so loud that people will think you kidnapped them... but, if at the end of the day, you can decide to CHOOSE each other again. To say sorry. To talk it out. To TRY. Then, I think you’re setting yourself up for a pretty incredible future. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s DATE NIGHT with my man tonight & there’s no place I’d rather be (( I mean, unless date night was back in Disney Springs... just sayin. 😆)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #MadeforBrave #GaliosHouse
