so, i'm just sad for the world and marriages. i'm so sad for sandra bullock and elin woods and all the other people who have been cheated on. i can't imagine how humiliating it must be for them or how dirty they must feel for being with their husbands while they were with other people. when i was going through everything, someone decided that i had had an affair and it spread like wildfire and that hurt soo soo bad b/c no matter what the other person does, it's never ever ever okay and that has always been my heart and was never an issue. i've always been burdened by people being too close to the opposite sex when you're married. girls that have guy best friends or the other way around just isn't okay once you're married. sandra bullock did an interview during her filming of hope floats and said that if it's at the point where you're going to cheat, it's gone to far so you should go to your mate and at least give them the chance to save their dignity and let them walk away.
w and i were talking about this whole situation last night. we were literally wrapped up like baby monkeys and trying to describe our love for each other. no matter what happens in a day, if we have a misunderstanding, anything...there is not an ounce in each of us that could ever want to hurt each other or do anything that would would bring the other down at all. but i hear so often of husbands and wives "getting back" at each other or trying to "one up" each other. i have learned so much about marriage and if you're not a team in every sense of the word, you're just going to butt heads and when you're tired of doing that, it can become a constant competition that will drive you apart. i think a lot of cheating happens because people marry for the wrong reasons. everyone else is getting married, it "feels" right, they NEED a mate or feel like the other one needs them, etc. if you don't marry your true life parter, the one God has created just for you, the difficulties of marriage can be unbearable. who cares if ypu're 40 before you meet that person, it's the RIGHT person!! now I also believe that God can change peoples hearts and make any marriage work if He chooses to...

on a MUCH lighter note, kristi turned 29 tuesday!! i can't believe SHE is getting so oooollllldddddd. i was telling her the other day that i hope i can be a mommy like her. she's incredible. her children are absolutely precious and perfect ;) but even in the rare times that things get hectic, she handles everything so well. and ive seen her evolve since jonathan was born and now tyler, and she has really got it together. she cooks dinner every night, keeps the house so clean, teaches jonathan school while entertaining ty, their laundry always smells sooo good (tide w/ downy) and she always takes them outside to play or to a playground and really lets them be kids. and she's sooo creative and clever!! i'm sure she's a great wife too but i don't know all those details :) i DO know that shes the best sister. and not just to me. she has the kindest heart and it hurts her so bad when someone isn't living right, not because shes a goody two shoes but b/c she knows how wonderful it is to walk with God and it hurts her to see someone else not experiencing it also. i am sooo proud of her. the only bad thing is that she's rude to the drive thru people. ;) j/k seester.

this week has been sooooo busy at the office. it's such a blessing!!! we start early at pilates at 6:30 and usually he finishes his massages at around 8 at night. it's just hard to turn people down when we know they are in pain. i have a fun photoshoot this weekend with the fabulous jenny mcneill that i get to do makeup for. very exciting. i'll share details next week.

gonna go walk to the bank now and enjoy the beautiful day!
