happiness

I can’t remember where I saw this, but I love it. I think this especially is applicable in marriage. I think my husbands idea of a perfect life and my idea of a perfect life is completely opposite. I think my husbands idea of a perfect life is an immaculately clean house, setting goals and working toward them, and having a list for everything.  My idea of a perfect life would be living on a couple acres with a bunch of chickens, 2 sheep and 1 cow. I would be surrounded by sequins, ribbon, and glue and my kids would be dancing around the house with me. Serious opposites we are, however, my perfect life would not be perfect without him. We balance each other. Without me, I think Chad would take life too seriously, and without him I would live in utter chaos (not to mention I would never remember to wear my retainer at night).   We aren’t perfect, but we are really happy… it works. We work.
