Holy Crap, Im an Army Wife?: Love is Thoughtful

Love is Thoughtful

Today’s Dare

Contact your spouse sometime during
the business of the day. Have no agenda
other than asking how he or she
is doing and if there is anything
you could do for them

Today's dare, kinda had to be tweaked... Jason only worked for a few hours. His Commander was there. So, I couldn't really call him at work, or text him. But, I made sure that when he came home, I asked him about his day, and actually tried to pay attention to him... I even sat with him and paid attention when he was playing W.O.W. and I even played Harvest Moon for a bit.

I am trying to take a more active roll in the things that interest him, even if it isn't something that I am interested in it. Like, video games... and his job.

Also, trying to spend more time acting like newly weds... touching more, talking more, saying I love you as often as I can. I am starting to believe that if I just think happy thoughts those happy things will happen. So, if I act more loving and happy towards my husband, he will begin to act like that as well.

I played outside with the kids for a long time today. When we are outside and they have more room to run, I enjoy them more. I want to just be able to play with them all the time without the actual having to mother them! lol... I don't like being the bad guy, I don't like having to dole out punishments... and as soon as I am done with the love dare. I am going to work on being a better parent to my kids. After that, I am going to work on being better to me... lol. Maybe this "challenge" presented by a member of our AMAZING book club isn't such a bad thing after all. It is opening my eyes a bit.

Here are a few pics of our adventure in the back yard...
