So, I wanted to come back here and write that while yes I am struggling with some things. There are two (or perhaps three or four) sides to every story.  In my 20's I did feel oppressed by my issues and my issues in my 20's are laughable in comparison to what I face in my 30's. Back in my 20's I would never really deal with the issues at hand and instead use temporary solutions (like drugs, alcohol, relationships, parties, etc) and seriously miss the point of the lessons to be had only to have them repeat themselves.

One thing I know is I love my husband and we will work it out. Another thing I know is, if I do remember to speak up - I know I can count on him. He is a completely reliable and lovable guy. I also need to remember that what you give is what you get..and like i stated in my previous post, ask myself sometimes - what is my part in this? I feel like another part of the equation is, we often are not just set in our own ways but we hold onto the ways of our partners. If we are affected by their harsh criticisms over and over again, you anticipate that anything from them is in fact going to be a negative. Instead of anticipating the partners reactions or thoughts, one just simply needs to listen.

Anyway, I am getting really excited about our move. The bigger kitchen, the backyard - which means, more baking and cooking is to be had AND perhaps with fresh eggs because we are thinking of having chickens!

I saw these chicken coops online and can't wait to start building! What do you think?
