Books

So Josh and I started reading the books we got for our wedding (For men only, and For Women Only) and i really love them.

Karen told me that I had to read For Men Only first, so i did. While I was reading it I felt that it really hit on a lot of the problems that me and Josh are having. It did a very good job of explaining the way I view the world compared to the way Josh/men view the world. It touched on things like financial security Vs. relationship security, which is something Josh has trouble separating. I also liked how it put it flat out there to men that men and women are programed different therefor process information very differently.

After I finished his book it was time for us to read our own book together. This was a little bit harder to accomplish. I basically had to bribe Josh with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Imagine that giving him food to get what I want. I should write a book "If You Give a Man a Sandwich..." we all know how the rest goes... "then he'll want a glass of milk."

Back to the thought at hand. He read the first chapter with me that night and didn't say ANYTHING Ahhh that frustrates me but, just like i had read in the For Men Only book men like to think and process their information and women like to talk about it. So i didn't say anything i just went to sleep and let him think about it.

The next night we again read a chapter each.
I am really starting to enjoy this nightly practice and I think he is too because, last night I didn't even have to bring it up. I was sitting on the bed folding clothes and before I knew I looked over at him and he was reading his book!

So my lesson learned: Even if I have to bribe him the first time I should fell confident enough in him to know that he does want to work on our relationship just as bad as I do.


One question though, when do we get to talk about???! Do I have to wait for week after we read the books to actually ask him what he liked about it and what he feels was good/bad advise???

Oh well I guess I will just be patient.

HELP

While I was typing the last blog Minnie decided that i needed help (probably with spell check ;) )

She chased the mouse around with her nose and was very intent on catching it with her tongue.

SNOW

So yesterday we got the first snow of the year!!!!

This was also the first time that the dogs have experienced snow. So when I got of work at 5, I was very excited to get them out side and see how they would react to 1 1/1 inches of snow covering their yard?

Well here goes...

THEY LOVE IT!!

They ran around the yard from the second i let them out. I think that they played harder in the snow than without the snow.

They were running around the yard so fast that I was surprised that I actually got a picture in of that.

The New Family

We Finally Made It!!!!!

I had to steal these picks because even as the bride in this shin-dig i have NO pictures of my own, so i am relying on other people for photos.
