I guess it is kinda sad that I only attend to my blog every month or so. I will do better when I am done with school. I don't even have any new pictures to post, my poor blog... I guess we could say that it has seen better days. On the other hand, I guess we could also say that better days for having more time to post on the blog are right around the corner!!! Yay!! One and a half semesters left till I am done with school forever!!! Life is good and only gonna get GREATER!!! My husband is so supportive and wonderful, even on the days I come home tired and kinda grouchy, that is hard to admit, but yes, I get grouchy and it happens quite a bit lately with the lack of time and the excessive amount of tasks that need to get done.
One thing that I am working on is trying to live in the moment and enjoy every minute of it in order to eliminate, as much as possible, the grouchiness. I recognize that I still have a long way to go but I am doing the best that I can and my husband is ever so patient! What a great man!!! I am not sure what I did to deserve such a perfect man for me but I would do it all over again in a heart beat!!!
Just to name a FEW of the things that I love and appreciate about Alofaaga are:
1. He is toooo sweet to me! He knows what my favorite treats are and when he goes to the store he always brings it back for me just to show me that he was thinking about me! I LOVE it sooo much!!! And so does my tummy!! :)
2. He always is sensitive to my thoughts and feelings. If I come home grouchy, he wants to talk and find out why, then he wants to fix it so I am not so upset. I am so thankful for that! He listens to me and comforts me when I need it.
3. He is SOOOOO funny!!! I laugh out loud EVERY single day because of him. He has a great sense of humor and a wonderful perspective on life. It helps me to mellow out a little and 'go with the flow.' Sometimes (okay, A LOT of the time) I need help with that. He balances me perfectly.
4. He is strong when I am weak. It is a new experience for me since I have been independent for so long, but it is soooo refreshing to have a shoulder to cry on and a hand to hold through tough stuff, knowing that we are in this together and we will make it out together! I LOVE that thought soooo much!!!
5. He helps me to identify the MANY blessings that we have enjoyed together and is a great example of being thankful and humble. I often times stand in awe of his humility and have learned VOLUMES on how to be a more giving and thoughtful person. I am sooo LUCKY to have him.
6. On the days that I question whether or not I want to keep working towards finishing school he provides the support and encouragement that I need. He ALWAYS tells me that he thinks that I am sooo talented, smart and that he feels so lucky to have me. I think it is the other way around... I am SOOO LUCKY TO HAVE HIM!!!
7. He loves Oggie, my puppy. At first Alofaaga wasn't a fan of Oggie. As time has gone on I have seen a DRASTIC change take place and now Alofaaga LOVES Oggie. He plays with him and he feeds him every day now when before he wanted to lock Oggie out of the house. He is making up for the time I am away from my puppy and is such a great puppy daddy! TOO CUTE!!!
Okay, okay, okay... I could go on and on about how wonderful I think Al is and how much I love him as well as why but that could get boring for all that read this so I will stop.
I am so grateful that I have been so blessed in so many ways! I know that Heavenly Father shows his love for us through other people, and I have felt His love so much through his humble servant, Alofaaga Laulu, through the past two WONDERFUL months!!! The BEST is yet to come and every day gets better and better!!!
