Setting the record straight

it has been brought to my attention that I do not praise Matthew enough on this. That I use it to vent and then he ends up sounding like a jerk and I am the victim. I have tried to assure this person from whom these concerns stem but they do not believe that you all do not think hi to be a jerk. Matthew is the farthest thing possible from being a jerk. And I dont want you to think that nor do I want you to think that is what I think. I have promised to share my feelings with him more than I have been. But I am still new at this whole sharing how I am really feeling thing. I just dont usually do that. But I am learning. And he is very patient with me, though sometimes more than others.

I believe that most of you realize that when I am expressing anger or frustration here i am doing so that I donot blow up at hi when I do talk to him about it. I find that it helps me to stay calm. We have been working through some things that have needed sorted out for some time now and we are becoming frustrated with each other, but that doesnt mean I love him any less. He is still the best thing that ever happened and I thank God every day that I was fortunate enough to find someone with whom to share my life. I do not take that for granted at all. I love my husband and he is good to me. All fights are two sided and you often dont hear both sides so take it all with a grain of salt.

Matthew brings me breakfast in bed, and rubs my feet when I get home from work. He makes me supper when I am hungry and lets me buy shoes even though he doesnt understand why I need ANOTHER pair of black shoes. He works hard to give us a good home and he is a good man. I dont want you to ever think anything else about him, because I dont.

Anyway I wanted to set that straight at the request of a certain someone and for myself too.

Emily, dear Lord, don't tell me Matt fixes you supper!! Are you sick of pizza and Hot Pockets yet? Somewhere along the line, I did not teach the boy that there is more to life than those particular meals. Sorry about that, Ems. Perhaps you can give it a shot and educate this individual in the fine art of eating other foods. Remember one thing, stay away from tomato chunks and onions...he will find them.

A good marriage takes alot of work and requires much patience, understanding and communication. It is my belief that you two are off to good start. I love you both!

Oops!! Sorry about the double posting. My bad (as Matt would say).

Your blog is yours for whatever you want it to be. I think most of us know that Matthew worships you, otherwise we wouldn't have let you marry him. ;)

But yeah, I do think we would like to hear about the nice things he does for you, too. Like when he sends you flowers...
