My Other Half

A couple of days, before the weekend, James and I got in a argument. Nothing big that couldn't be fixed, but I remember thinking “im not going to let this go.. *HE* needs to learn his lesson” He must have been thinking the same thing because, neither of us budged on the matter. When the weekend was coming up, I began making my plans. I filled it full of events, and many social get togethers and things I
could do for fun.


As you can tell, My weekend WAS full of people and things to do, just like I had planned. I didn't feel too bad about making so many plans without James he had his own agenda to attend to as well. (This was the week he had priesthood and would be going out for burgers after.)So we went our separate ways. I wont deny how much fun I had, and how I REALLY needed some girl time, and my personal space. However It would be a lie if I were to say, I didn't miss my husband, (and more so than I expected.) Even Cafe Rio didn't taste as good, with no one to share it
with. *gasp*


Do any of you have a friend, who knows you inside and out? They know you so well that even if you tried to lie or hide something, your face would say it all because you just cant withhold from them? Someone who can sense the slightest of emotion from you, if something is wrong. Some one who can finish your sentence. Someone that you just NEVER grow bored with? ----This would be my husband. Hes my friend, my confident, my consultant, hes.. well my everything. Saturday night, I felt lost. It was as if, a part of me had ran off and disappeared. I was somewhat lonely.


When Sunday arrived, I was so excited! It was Easter, and I was planning on making honey baked ham, mashed potatoes and veggies for dinner. Even though James had to work, I knew he would come home and get to be with me! I was surprised and relieved when he even came home early!


In Conference, The prophets and apostles spoke about the power of Love. How its felt, how its shown, the effect it has on others. I really appreciate how much the gospel focuses on the way we should treat others. After all the GREAT commandment is Love one another.I re-learned the importance of letting things go, and remembering whats important. I knew how it important it is to truly forgive and not
to pass judgment. To say the least, Heavenly Father made it possible for things to be “fixed” and to work harder and be better people and couple.

Yes, I know, maybe a weekend isn't that long to go without someone but the amount of time served its purpose. The absence did make my heart grow fonder, and I love James very much despite our differences.
