Changing

We change. Life changes us, we change life, maybe a little of both. Our excitement for the week, du, du, duuuuu . . . .

Tommy and I started going to a parenting class tonight at our church. I know you are all thinking, how can you improve perfection. THE END!

Okay but really, parenting class, always room for improvement! And lucky you, you get to join us on this spectacular journey to greatness.

We have learned a great deal from each other. Tommy is more patient than I am, and I am more comforting than he is. We are complete opposites and THANK GOODNESS. We are both completely committed to our family though, completely, all the way! We are hoping that we take alot from this class, I am hoping to learn how to do it all and do it right and he is hoping he learns to be just like me (just ask him), quit laughing. I am pretty great after all. I believe with Tommy I can do it all, and with God we can do it right!

I am pretty excited, there are quite a few people in our class. I hope to learn from them all. I hope to learn how to make our children proud to call us their parents. We want their memories to be more good than bad, and we want them to know that we really wanted to be the best we could for them. They know we are taking this class, they know we love them, they just don't realize how much! And they won't until they become parents themselves. I know now that my parents were really serious when the said, "I can't wait til you have kids!!" You know, in that kinda ugly voice. So funny then, not so much now. I know I will never say that to my kids (bout peed myself laughing there), ya right. But they loved me, probably didn't like me much sometimes though.

We change, I was different ten years ago, I was different five years ago. If you could see true heart pictures of my life at these times you would be amazed that it is the same person. I guarantee the same thing goes for Tommy. We are constantly changing, Tommy because he is always dirty and me because I CAN'T wear white, just kidding, but I really can't wear white.

Life changes us, every day, every moment we make a choice. We have messed up countless times and we will mess up countless times more. It takes me longer to realize I am doing the same thing over and over again and am consistently getting the same cruddy result and it takes Tommy longer to admit it when he does. But when we do realize it, we both know that life has changed us.

We change life, we are choosing to be better. We don't have to be. We could continue with our mediocre existence, but we won't. It is always time to change, always time to work on ourselves, because someone else is watching us now. And our three someones deserve great parents, so we will definitely strive to be the kind they deserve.
