Just being us

It has been more than a month now that I am out of job, by choice. I am trying to realize one of my dreams- to try being a housewife for a while. Never did I imagine I can even sustain it this long. Just so thankful I have a partner who has not pressured me to go back to working again. Although there were times I wish I have work to have my own income, especially when I want to buy something for myself and for my family. I am almost drain right now, financially, but at peace with myself and relishing the stress-free life. 

A year ago, Bobot proposed that I be with him when I resigned from my Aegis. Never regretted when I said 'yes'. He has been so constant in showing how important I am in his life and his way of showing his love is incomparable. I know he had made adjustments before to make this relationship work, all the more I see him exerting effort now that we're together. His understanding and patience in dealing with me is truly amazing. I sometimes doubt myself if what I am doing to him and for him is enough to compensate the love I receive. He has not complained so far, but has been honest on the things he doesn't like on some things I do, which I really appreciate. 

He wakes up so early, oh please honey! I am not a morning person and I just like to feel the morning at bed. I do not like it when he stats to argue even if he knows I have the better idea, or that I am right. I don't like it when he fart at the dining table or talk things that brings out your imagination and makes you want to puke! I don't like it when he gives a lot of directions when I am driving- it rattles me more. But all these are superficial and part of the things I love about him. He argues because he wants me to see things the other ways. He farts and does not admit it to make us smile. and talks about those 'things' to say I should have enough already (diet!). He has been level headed and a man of wisdom, so even if I don't like it when he gives so much directions when I'm driving but deep inside I know his peripheral vision and judgment is better than mine.  And being a morning person, he compromised (again, for me). Instead of 4am, he now wakes up at 5:30am. He still prepares the breakfast while I do some stretching but I still want to make his coffee. Lunch and dinner will be mine to prepare. 

He complains about my dogs, Grey and Gretta, but buys him a lot of food and cleans their poops. That's my honey! He hates the way I prepare when we have to go somewhere, that I am taking sooo much time in the shower and in the mirror. That I have things all over when I do my cooking, but he likes it when I prepare our food! He complains that I snore in which I vehemently deny, but well, he snores louder! :)

My prayers will be for us to experience life's miracle- to have a baby. And that we will be able to continue to find something funny and irritating with each other- it's what keeps our life together. Just being us.
