Different things

Some times the slightest things can make you realize a lot of things.

We went and saw About Last Night on Saturday and movies kinda make you re-evaluate things. To me it was my relationship with my husband. Some days we obviously don't have the best relationship and some days it's all fine and dandy. A relationship is something that needs work. Not just from you and not just from him. It has to be from both of you. Being married young brings lots of challenges. 

Trying to please every one has always been my challenge. I love pleasing my husband and it used to be my mom and me for so long, I feel like I still need to please her too. We went to marriage counseling and the counselor said I'm a people pleaser, which is true! I love my mom to death and of course I want to please her but some times I just can't and that's just it. Some times we can't please every one. I know some day Kendrix will most likely disappoint us but it's not going to make us think differently of him. We love no matter the circumstances. That's what God wants us to do.

I look to different people for certain things. Advice wise I usually go to my mom or Micah or my cousin it just really depends on what it's about. But some times we just need to go to the person that it may be about. It'll help so much more and you'll be happier in the end. Sorry I'm just rambling. I haven't posted in a while since it was my birthday and all but I've had a lot on my mind! Thank you for being patient with me. 

Much love

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to you all! 

It shouldn't take one day out of the year to show how much you care about the one you love. Yes, flowers and candies are a good gesture but shouldn't you get them more than one time a year? Showing you love someone is much more than just flowers or gifts. Your actions say a lot. When Micah wakes up and takes care of Kendrix for a few more minutes so I can wake up. That's a way you can show you care about someone. He knows how I hard I work at times so he does little things like that to show he cares and appreciates me. The same goes for him. I know he has school and practice so I try to get Kendrix to take his naps around the time he gets out of practice. Playing his favorite video game or just giving random hugs or kisses. 

You don't have to spend money on your love to show you love them. I don't think it should take one day out of the year to show how much you love someone. I think it should be shown all the time. Public and private. Yes, Valentine's day is a very special day to some but I've received Micah's love for about 5 amazing years and he never fails to show me he loves me every day. 

The best way he's ever shown his love for me was giving me our son. Last Valentine's day was Kendrix's first Valentine's day and we went to the Ft. Worth zoo as a family and had a blast. This year we don't really have anything planned and I'm perfectly fine with that. I love sitting around and cuddling with my family. You learn to appreciate the little things.

I hope every one has a great day but remember, show the one you love how much you love and care about them every day. Not just on Valentine's Day! It will mean so much more in the long run.

Much Love,

Be The One..

Be the person you were when your spouse fell in love with you.

When we get married and have children, we seem to forget the person we were when we met our spouse. We get so cause up in our wifely or motherly duties, we forget about our husbands. We forget to do the things that made our spouse fall in love with us. For example, the little things. Sending them a text message during the day to let them know you were thinking about them and that you love them. I know when Micah and I first got together, I used to text him every opportunity I got so he always knew I loved him and was always thinking of him. Making him feel special. During the days now, it's just filled with cleaning and making sure Kendrix is taken care of. I don't text him as much as I used to during the times he's away because I just forget. I get busy. It's kinda sad actually. 

We wait so long to find the man of our dreams. Sadly, we when we find him, we stop doing the things we were doing when we fell in love. Guys are just as guilty at this as we are. I think when Micah and I first got together we seemed to go crazy of each other. I was in such amazement with him over every single thing he did to or for me. I would ALWAYS want to be around him. Always would want to talk to him if we were apart. Always wanted to hear him talk, sing, laugh, or smile. Always wanted to feel his huge arms around me. I've strayed away from all that. Now that we got married, I can honestly say I've forgotten to be the woman I was when we fell in love. I want to get back to that.

We need to get back into doing the little things for our husbands. Saying we love you during the day. Kiss him passionately just because. Jump for joy when they get home. Get sad when they have to leave. Get dressed up for him. Get sexy at night. Make him want YOU. Make him remember why he fell in love with you. You'd be amazed how much your marriage or relationship will change. Stop nagging him constantly. I have to take my own advice on this cause I nag a bunch.. Stop bringing up past situations. Stop being insecure with your self. He chose YOU over every one. You married this wonderful man, so show him you love him and appreciate him. This is your life now, with him. Make it the best it can be so he'll never wanna leave. Make him proud to call you his wife. 

Have a fabulous day!

Much Love,

Love of my life & I, 3 years ago <3

This won't be me anymore..

To be honest, my week was far from perfect. With that being said, I am FAR from perfect.

I learned in the course of this week I can be very selfish. I am sharing these things because I don't want any of y'all to ever go down this path. 

When it comes to my marriage, I don't think about my husbands needs some times. I jump to conclusions way to fast and easy. I probably nag more than I should. Maybe I ask too from of my him. I try to pick fights which I can honestly say I do not know why. It solves NOTHING. 

Seeing all these typed down, I feel terrible. I have got to learn from my mistakes. Which it can be done people. I know if I want to keep my marriage lively and well, some things have got to be done. Am I saying I have an awful marriage? No. It just some times can be dysfunctional at times. Am I saying I'm a bad wife? No not all the time. There are just things I know I can work on. Am I the only one that has to work on things? Probably not but I would never tell him what needs to be changed. Never try and change a person. 

In my eyes, my husband is perfect. Maybe even too perfect if that's even possible. Yes we both make mistakes but who doesn't? We just start to lose ourselves and don't really know how to start back up some times.  

Some thing I need to work on is loving more like Jesus does. Unconditional.Forgiving. I need to start praying more and getting my nose in my bible. I just always want every one to be happy especially when it comes to my marriage. I am very privileged to have a husband like mine. He lets me stay home with our son and watch him grow. He understands that I don't really know how to cook but eats my food anyways. He does little things that just make me fall in love with him all over again.

We were away from each other for two weeks and that contributes to my over reacting and things like that. I just start to miss him and hope he feels the same way I do. That's what scares me most is the unknown. I just have to trust him and trust God that every thing is always going to be okay.

With all this being said, don't judge me. I'm a young married mother with a hectic life. I will continue to strive to be the best wife and mother I can be. I refuse to be the reason why our marriage ever suffers. Don't be the reason for anything. Fights, drama ANYTHING. Do your best to be the best for him. You made vows so cherish them and abide by them. Love your spouse like The Lord loved his son. Don't forget to give him attention just like you do your children. Be the one he fell in love with.

Much Love

God Has Blessed Me

First off, it's cold. Don't really know if I can think straight this morning. Just kidding. I gotta cause it's only Kendrix and me in the house. My mom finally comes home tomorrow and I'm so excited! I've missed her so very much. Praying for a safe trip back.

Lots of things have been on my mind today. As I'm watching my sweet innocent child run around messing up the house that I just cleaned, God has blessed me with him. God has blessed me with lots of things. A wonderful family, amazing husband, and some pretty awesome friends. The life that Micah and I live, is anything but ordinary. We travel back and forth between Oklahoma and Texas a lot. Probably more than we should. Micah takes on a lot down in Texas. Not only does he have a family he has to care and provide for, he has a 15 hour class schedule, study hall in the evenings, and football on the daily. If you're wondering how our schedules go, it goes something like this. Monday's we're pretty lucky because he has a night class from 6 to 8:50. During the day we pretty much have him to ourselves except for work outs every week day from 12:30 to around 3. Tuesdays and Thursdays he has class from 8 to about 11. Study hall Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights. Kendrix gets naps based around his schedule because I try to ensure Micah gets as much time as he can with Kendrix. On Tuesdays at our library they have a session called Toddler Time. Kendrix and I go to that with one of our friends who has a little boy a few months younger than Kendrix and her husband was also on the football team. Micah also has a couple of online classes. I also have two online classes I'm taking. I usually do my homework when Kenny takes a nap or when every one has fallen asleep at night. So there is a little day in the life of us. Pretty hectic huh?

Although we have a crazy life, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love being down in Texas because it's our own life. We don't have any one to depend on but each other. Not our parents just us. I've grown up so much since I moved down there a year ago. Most teens my age don't move that far away from home unless they go to college. I did it so my little family could all be together. Like a good mom and wife should do. God has blessed me with this opportunity to grow stronger in my faith and stronger with my little family. I thank God every day for my husband, son and family. My life is awesome and I owe it all to Him.

Don't forget to thank God for the things you are thankful for. 

Thank you all for reading and supporting us.

Much Love,

~K

Just a little silly pic of us :)

A letter to My Husband

I know times right now are hard for us. We get so caught up in taking care of our son, we forget to love each other. Some days are easier than others. I think we tend to forget where we started from and why we are where we are. With out you, I wouldn't have this wonderful life you've given me. 

The definition of us started on a June summer day in 2010 at a theme park called Frontier City in Oklahoma. You were working the wild cat which happened to be my favorite ride. You had your blue shirt sleeves rolled up so I could see your yummy muscles. You flirted with me a bunch. Saying you wouldn't check my seat or opening the door for a beautiful girl. I'm sure you remember what I was wearing because you used to tell me all the time. I was way to shy to ask for your number so my friend did for me and I thought you gave me a fake number. If you would've done that, we wouldn't be anywhere we are now. Luckily it wasn't a fake number and it seemed we were inseparable ever since. 

I have so many wonderful memories with you. I can't wait till we share them with our son. From running over that snake in Jones and your football games your senior year to laying on the truck bed watching the stars with you. My most favorite memory of all was our wedding. Our small but perfect wedding. Our vows, our kiss, our love. As we were bonded together as one I never thought we'd be where we are now. Happy in our little one bedroom apartment in Texas. Another favorite is when our son was born. On July 24, 2012 our lives changed forever. Seeing you hold our little guy melted my heart and I cried happy tears. Then and there I knew you'd be a great father. Thank you for staying with us for two weeks right before two a days started. That really took a lot out of you, I know. 

You do so much for Kendrix and me and we never get the chance to really thank you. We do thank you for all you do for us. You've given us the best life in our situation. Some days I forget how much you do for us. Sometimes when you get home I get happy because I get a break from Kenny but really I should be happy because you are home and I get some time with you. I'm sorry for forgetting little things like that.You are the man that helped create our family and I should never forget that. Without you, I would have nothing. 

Thank you for helping me create our crazy life but I wouldn't have it any other way. If I get to caught up in being a mother, stop me and tell me. Time with you is precious to me because I don't get it very often. Thank you again for all you do for us. You're amazing.

With all this being said, let us not forget the man that helped us create our little ones or the life you have. Let them know you appreciate them today. When they come home be happy and jump in their arms. They'll love it. Don't forget to love your husband just like you did before the kids came along. You didn't make your kiddos alone! Appreciate your spouse for they do a lot for you. I understand getting so caught up in parenting, we forget to do so. Start appreciating today!

Much Love

Snow days

First things first. It is snowy here in Oklahoma. Micah came up for the weekend and was supposed to go home today but ended up getting snowed in here. It's worse down there than here. I'm totally fine with it cause Kendrix and I get more time with him :) 

I love my friends and family. I don't know where I'd be without them. I don't understand how some people can be so mean to family members or friends. I feel like I need my family and friends in my life to survive. I probably would've never gotten my husbands number back then if it wasn't for one of my friends. I was too shy to ask for it. You wouldn't be in this world if it wasn't for your mother. My mom means so much to me and is a huge impact on my life. I hope to be the best mom I can be to my son like my mom was for me. Now that my family has gone out of town for a few weeks, I'm realizing how much I miss them. It's weird not going to their houses whenever I want to and just talking with them. I really do hope they are having a good time though. 

Being in Oklahoma a week without my husband has been miserable. I'm really glad he got snowed in here for a little longer. I know Kendrix loves it too. I just have to make it through this week, then I'll be back home in Texas with my love. Till then I can't wait till my mom and every one gets back. Kendirx and I will just have fun in the snow while they enjoy the warm sun.

I've been spending precious time with my husband and son so that's why I haven't posted in a while. Plus school work is taking lots of free time! Thanks for being patient with me!

Much Love.

When in Doubt...

Pray it Out & Turn to God.

 

Are you having a tough day or can't seem to stop stressing over little things or even big things? I know I do sometimes and have family that does a lot. My solution, turn to God. Give him your problems and have faith that He will help you through. Praying all the time helps me in the worst of situations. I have anxiety really bad. Especially when Kendrix came along. I had never been more scared to do certain things in every day life. It had been a time that I forgot about my faith. I forgot about the one who helps me through so much. I'm pretty sure I had never prayed so hard. Praying hels eliminating your mind from the things you're worried about. Trust me.

 

The Lord died on the cross for you and me so we may have hope of eternal life with Him in Heaven. He wants us to strive to be more like Him every day. Praying, praching His word, leading people to Him. He is the reason we are even here people! Your little child sitting in your lap or playing in his room? God blessed you with that child. He blesses you every day with things you don't even realize you've been blessed with! Your husband or wife? Did you ever pray when you were younger to find the one you've been searching for for so long? I know I did. Especially when it felt all my hopes and dreams were just shattered. I know my husband and son are blessings from God and I thank Him every day for sending them to me. They saved my life.

 

Your little ones will benifit from praying too. My little Kendrix prays all the time with us. It brings tears to my eyes because I know he learned that from watching me. Kids really do watch every thing you do.

 

But seriously people. People need The Lord and it's up to us to lead them there. Praying daily will help you in your day to day struggles. It's actually very theraputic to know you always have someone to talk to. He doesn't talk back but he sure listens. Give Him all your problems and he will help you through them. Don't stray away from the one who gave you life. Be strong in your faith. You know what you're doing. I promise!

 

Much Love

A little something for the young lovers

Every thing in marriage does not come easy. Being a young married couple we know all about that. Having all odds against us and people wanting us to fail is always fresh on my brain.

In our vows we have for better or for worse. When my husband and I got married, he was 19 and I was 18. We had no idea what we were really getting ourselves into. We don't really listen to the vows that are exchanged. We just want the kiss and to be officially married. I get that. We were the same way. Looking back at our vows we have for better or for worse. Vows are sacred and are meant to be kept. When times get tough, we have to stick it out. We are just now learning how to really communicate with each other. When times got tough I used to think divorce would just be so much better. Now that I look at it I was stupid for ever thinking that.

COMMUNICATE with your partner people! When you are angry with your spouse, don't start talking right away. Make a code word and you two go in separate rooms and think about what you're going to say. If you do that, you won't say things you don't mean. Ours is bubbles if any one was wondering. Talk about things as they come to mind unless you're angry. Communication is key for a successful marriage. People aren't kidding when they tell you this.

When you have all odds against you for being a young family, you just want to prove them all wrong. Getting married so young and having a child in the mix sets us up for failure. That's just what people think. We know we're beating all odds. We have been. Micah taking 15 hours of school a semester and everything for football with a child and wife is out of the ordinary. Us moving two and a half hours away from our home town to start our family isn't something you see teen married couples do. I knew moving down to Texas with Micah for school was the best option for our family. We just want what's best for us and our son.

Our marriage is far from perfect but it's my kind of perfect.

Have a wonderful day!
