Love is Unconditional

Once again I didn’t get the chance to blog yesterday (I was playing assassin's creed II). Yesterdays Dare was to; "Think of a specific way you'd like to greet your spouse. Do it with a smile and with enthusiasm. Then determine to change your greeting to reflect your love for them." This is a great Dare, there have been times that she or I just walk in the door and I don’t really say nor do much. When she came in the door last night I stopped playing my video game got up and gave her a big hug and kiss. After doing that she lit up and had a glow to her. Just seeing that in her made me want to do it every chance I get. Watching the past couple weeks and our marriage grow so much closer really brings me enjoyment and security. Both of which I have had in my life but not all at the same time.


Today's Dare is; "Do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse - something that proves (to you and to them) that your love is based on your choice and nothing else. Wash her car. Clean the kitchen. Buy their favorite dessert. Fold the laundry. Demonstrate love to them for the sheer joy of being their partner in marriage."

All of the things the book listed are not "out of the ordinary" for me. As Ashleigh has stated numerous times over I do all the laundry so crap cant mark that one, Wash her car ok yeah I could BUT ITS WINTER AND 8 flippin degrees outside. But this is the one I picked (without knowing it was an example) Ash cooked dinner (as is the case most days) so I cleaned up the huge mess, from her wonderful Bacon blue cheese burgers mmmmmmmm! But the one that wasn’t on the list. She had a bad start to the morning and of course as the saying goes "it only gets worse before it gets better" it did. So when I got home from my late inspection I told her when she was finished eating that she was to go upstairs with a Smirnoff lock our bedroom door and no matter what she hears "DONT COME OUT" just go tune everything out read a book or do what ever just for herself for a bit. Just to get a little breather from the day. Let me know what you all think of today’s and if I "Did well" lol.

Seeing all these ways to really please Ashleigh is helping us out allot! I can’t tell you all in enough words how great of a feeling it is. Keep reading for tomorrows dare. Have a blessed night everyone.
