Glad Game Round #1

Nathan and I had a great weekend. His birthday was on Friday so we went to Carbondale to celebrate with his family. It was a good visit and our nephew is getting so big. Nathan got some nice gifts and some that I will be able to enjoy as well. Saturday night we saw Spiderman 3. Very good movie, but got kind of long in the middle. It didn't help that that the seat were not the "Cuddle Seats" like at the movie theaters we go to at home. You should all know and love the cuddle seats at the movie theater, they are the ones where the arm rests can be moved up so you can actually cuddle with the person next to you. But, then some people probably don't care about cuddling. Nathan and I appreciate them. My favorite is when the theater is very empty and i can put several arms up and stretch my legs out on the seats :) Overall it was a great weekend hanging out with the fam.
I am enjoying the married life, but life is very different, I don't quite have the balance of everything down yet. I've been struggling a little with needing more alone time, that is something I have needed my entire life. So, now having a husband and wanting to be together all the time is alittle hard. Nathan and I have started to come up with a plan on how to give eachother space for self. I have had alittle more trouble with needing space so far, I think this is natural though I feel guilty needing more alone time than Nathan. I wonder what it would be like if a husband and wife had a balance of needs, like if Nathan and I needed the same amount of alone time? I guess we wouldn't get the chances to work on our communication as much if we were in agreement all of the time. Even with the differences marriage is great! Please pray for Nathan and I as we work on balance with one another.
Well, I wrap things up with a round of the Glad Game. This is something I learned from Nathan and love, so here is round #1 on my blog of the glad game.
Being tickled, flirting with my husband, my nephew Eli laughing, noticing how green everything is outside, the sunshine, hugs, phone calls from family or friends, getting mail, the feeling of new socks on my feet, when the scale says you weigh less than you feel, baking, making others smile, cuddle seats at the movie theater, saving money, spending money, not having to say good bye to Nathan at night anymore, a clean home, giving, and the way my body feels after I have exercised.
