On the other hand...

I've written a few posts about things I dislike about pinterest.

I think I need to write a post on a few things I LIKE about pinterest.

On Wednesday (the day after Valentine's Day),

I looked at pinterest,

I hadn't in a while,

but I decided to look.

I'm so glad I did.

My cousin had pinned a "Wake-Up Call for Wives" article.

It was exactly what I needed to hear!

It really did wake me up! I realized several areas I needed to improve on.

This article was in response to "Wake-Up Call for Husbands," so I read that one too.

After reading both I felt SO much love for my husband.

I think everyone should read them!

This morning I read "Wake-Up Call for Couples"

and a few other articles the couple has written to help keep the romance alive in our marriages.

It is SO important to keep the love alive in our marriages,

I've always had a love/hate relationship with Valentine's Day because I feel like we should show our love everyday,
not just on a specific day.

But I love it because it reminds us to show our love.

And we have steak (that's our tradition),

but really I love it because I get to be with my sweet husband!

But I also love EVERYDAY I get to be with him!

One of my goals this year is to be a better wife, I think these articles will help me to do so.

These articles made me think about other aspects of our lives too,

I was thinking about some the activities that they suggest,

and I was thinking, we are blessed, doing these is so easy for us, we don't have to find a babysitter or anything
(however, we would LOVE it if we did).

But it made me realize a positive of our situation (and sometimes I have a hard time doing so).

However, we have learned a lot from this trial and I think it has helped our marriage to be stronger!

We are all so blessed and I think it is always nice to be reminded of it!

Read them, trust me one this.

P.S. Just an example of how sweet my husband is, currently he's on a scout camp out. Which means I that I am home alone, which he knows I really don't like. But he called me to tell me good night and to tell me he loves me. It melted my heart because while he usually calls every night when he's on business trips or whatever, camp outs he usually doesn't (because they usually don't have cell service), but his trip is like 5 minutes from our home, so he had service and he called me.

It's the little things in life!

I love him!
