Hi! Mrs. PorkChop here. Yes, I married that sweet man on September 14th. Best decision I ever made in my life! We have had our ups and downs. His job keeps lying to him, which makes him make lots and lots of promises he can't keep. And he cancels plans a lot....but he's here with me, every day. He's all mine, forever. And I'm pretty darned proud to be his wifey. It's almost time til the season is over, and after him working 14 hrs a day 6 days a week, I am REALLY REALLY READY! I miss him lots. I love him even more than I miss him though.
Bethy has become a rotten lil snot, but I love her as well haha. She's a very strong minded defiant little one, thats for sure! Michael is his normal calm self, comes over once in a while, but always has to ask 'is Porkchop there?' before he'll set foot on the property. Needless to say the answer is 'NO' more than yes, which makes for a lot of "Aww MAN's" from my lil fella. Mikey misses Tommy almost as much as I do I guess.
Halloween was fun. I had a little witch and a little transformer robot to tote around. They had fun at COTC Trunk or Treat. Even won a goldfish to put in the fish tank. It was also kinda a sad time, because Hickory passed away one week, then the next, Papaw Gary was 'taken away to live with the angels'. What a hard time, very hard to explain everything to little minds. Bethy wants the angels to bring him back right this instant.
I've been exploring my spirituality. I really feel like I am not where I am supposed to be. I want a closer relationship with God, and with my husband. I want to be the kind of wife that God intended a woman to be for a man. I'm trying. Failing miserably at the moment, but trying. My patience wears VERY thin with Tommy and his job. It's ridiculous the things that he puts up with. I just pray for understanding and patience every day. So far, my prayers have only hit the ceiling. But hopefully...I just don't see them sneaking out and they are being answered, just slowly. Either way, I am trying to choose to practice love and patience. That's where the LOVE DARE comes in. I am thinking about trying that. I might learn something!
