End of 2010

I think i'm happy to be saying goodbye to this year. Its had major heartbreak-

-Death of Lito's Father
-My layoff
-Death of my Grandmother
-Marriage drama/crap
-Lito's babymama drama/crap
-Temporary cancellation of Fost/adoption AGAIN

We've been in marriage counseling and individual therapy for a couple weeks now. I am hopeful this will put us on the right path. It's amazing how you can not even notice that you are disrespecting your spouse, or not communicating enough. You go to work, give 110% to your job/coworkers, and then come home and give little to the one you made a vow to. Lines become drawn, we stack our cards and then shut down. Right now, we are working on reversing negative stuff like that. We are working on putting each others needs first, as a married couple. As our therapist said, "When you EACH wake up deciding that you are solely responsible for saving the marriage, how can either of you go wrong?"

........Oh. When he put it like that, as plain as simple as could be, I think a light went on for both of us and we realized we had not been doing so.

I hope 2011 brings good cheer.

~Nephew and I wishing you Happy New Year!~
