Working on us :)

I was just watching this movie and one of the characters said "if you can't be vulnerable with your husband, who can you be vulnerable with?"  So true.  It only took about 0.2 seconds for that to hit me.  You married this man.  You picked this man for the rest of your life.  Why not give him 100% access to you.. every part of you? 

It makes sense to me.  I have said it before, I don't know what I did to deserve him :) He deserves to have every part of me.

An update, since I just realized I hadn't really checked in in a while.  We set out a list of rules, a very short list, actually.  We have laundry 4x a week (my rule.. I tend to let it pile up and then it suffocates me), dishes every weekday (my rule also.. same thing).  
I was just looking at our DayOne journal app to get the other rule.. I cannot remember it and somehow the app on the iPad has deleted everything.... I'll have to check Fireman's phone when he gets home.  

I asked him if we were using the four D's also and he had completely forgotten about reading them before.  I tried to find them on a couple websites, but I eventually had to google and found a blog that defined them.  I wasn't doing a very good job explaining, lol.  Fireman just kind of looked at me confused, so I took a screen shot from my iPhone and sent it to him. 

For anyone new, the 4 D's are Disobedience, Disrespect, Dishonesty, and Dangerous. The 4 D's are now added to our rules list, too.  

I think that this is really going to help us.  So far, no rules broken, no punishments set.  I think I just realized something though.. he listed a specific number of swats (? for lack of a better word) to the rule if it were to be broken, but it's not any worse than maintenance.  I need to clarify those terms.  It won't really be a punishment if he is doing less than maintenance, right?  Maybe those are extra strikes on top of a regular amount? I don't know.  Typing this post just made me figure that out.  See, blogging helps! :)

I think we've been too busy for many rules to be broken.  I feel like we go nonstop.  Even right now, he's gone on a fire call.  We have some crazy snowy weather going on and there have been a few wrecks.  He called to say while they were on one call, they got a few more.  

Our agreement is for me to ask for maintenance if I feel like I need it, but that is so hard to do! I probably should've asked for it Friday night or last night.. or both, but I didn't.  I guess if he doesn't bring it up tonight, I will.  I think that's usually our cocktail for an argument.  I will not let it spiral out of control today like we have the past few Sundays. 

I love ttwd.  I love knowing that he is in control and that I am his :)  best. feeling. ever. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!
