i was made for sunny days... i was made for you

What a weekend...

FRIDAY...

Tez was out of town so i got to hang out with two of my great friends Brooke and Emilie. (the ones below- standing up smiling in pic) Let me just tell you. One night with these girls helps me feel complete. I love them both dearly. Plus, we just GET each other. Our humor meshes very well (sarcastic/ corny) which makes for a night of laughs. So thankful for these friends of mine!

SATURDAY... well what a day.... Tez and i got into a tiff. It was well worked out but boy was it hard! He was out of town so it was via phone (never the greatest experience) but he was DETERMINED to get through it on the phone before he got home- which we did... (Sunday when we were joking around about the tif to some friends tez made the statement: "I wanted to work it out over the phone! if not, me returning home would go something like this: me coming home getting pots and pans thrown at my head!)

I never run shy of conflict (maybe it's the Puerto Rican in me?) thankfully, Tez is real chill (Indonesian?) and HATES drama.

Tez will tell you that being married to me has helped him "embrace" conflict-lol.

So when i am, like, shouting (which i am working to not do) he's very slow to anger. I'm thankful. (TWO yelling people NEVER equal a good thing)

Anyone will tell you conflict is a part of marriage. It's interesting to see what brings about conflict, sometimes it's the SMALLEST THING! It's also interesting to see how you get through it. Conflict is something that, i think, has to be learned. Tez and i are still learning how to deal, we've grown a lot but still def have more growing to do! It's always worth it though. Tezar once heard someone say that marriage brings with it the highest highs and lowest low's which i think it's true....

In spite of, or maybe i should say in light of our tif I feel after we FINALLY make it to the end of said conflict i respect and love Tez even more. He respects me, and really tries to understand me.

It's also extremely humbling to not be perfect and to recieve grace. I am so thankful for my husband. (it really had to be God!) I can't help but think of that scene in As Good As it Get when Jack nicholson says : You make me want to be a better man. Only for me, it's woman... Tez helps me want to be a better person.

And i don't want to make this into a mushy post but sometimes..actually all the time- I wonder how i landed him!

He, above all things, is kind and gracious which makes me thankful to God. It's days like this when i am overwhelmed by the beauty in life and the grace which so gets us through the day. If marriage is a reflection of Christ's love for the church and i get this simple glimpse of what God's love is like... man... I can't even fathom the greatness of God.

I heard this song by the Weepies this week and it makes me think of Tez everytime... and it made me cry today thus this sappy post :)

Enjoy:
