If life is a jump rope, then marriage will be a hike!

"It's always further than it looks.
It's always taller than it looks.
And it's always harder than it looks."   
-- The 3 rules of mountaineering.

Now, I'm not an expert on mountain climbing. Nor am I an expert on marriage. By far of that! But Jared and I had the opportunity to grow and to compare our relationship to that of a hike. We had the joys of going to Hanging Lake, which is between Glenwood Springs and Eagle, Colorado for those of you who don't know where that is. He proposed to me at the top, but we were lucky enough to compare while we walked on up. We held each others hand as much as we could, and helped each other up. If one of us was struggling ( Lets not kid around, when I  was struggling), we would slow down, and stay at the same pace. I realized that this hike wasn't a race, it was about enduring. Now, I've never been married, but talking to others who are and have been for a while, the advice can only help than hinder.  I watched how he looked at me, with his smile wrinkles and his irresistible dimple... I knew that I was going to spend forever with this man. To my surprise (wink wink) he asked me once again to be his wife, the mother of his children, and his partner through thick and thin for all time and eternity. 

Yeah. I know. It was pretty awesome. Now as a few month have passed and I am able to think of the hard times we've had, and the "hike" we've started. Of course at first it is easy, blissful if you will. You're happy and don't have a care in the world. Then it starts to get harder the longer you're together. 

PAUSE. I'm sitting at Barnes and Nobel..... I just saw the tallest pair of high heels on an old woman. She can't walk in them. WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG!
I'm a people watcher. So watch out. ;)

To continue.... We aren't perfect, we never will be and we shouldn't expect anyone to change for you if you aren't perfect. I love to think of it in the sense if someone was trying to change you, how would you feel? Pretty crappy. So we shouldn't do it to others.... right? :)

Anyhow, I've had a busy day. Woke up at 6:30 for work at 8, and now just waiting for job #2 at 5.... Ahhhh all day work :) But heyyyy I'm makin money son! Hope yall have a great weekend! Until next time, Adios Muchachos!
