labor.day.weekend.

to our little family this means camping. and this year it even meant some more hunting. I had so much fun. we fished. hiked. hunted. played card games. snuggled in a tent. ate large amounts of junk....& thought that was a good idea at the time.


also one of the coolest things ever! Saturday night forb & i were sitting on a log being silent and still {it's amazing how much you notice and hear} when a doe walked right up and stared us down for several minutes and a few different times. she could smell us but couldn't see us. it was honestly one of the neatest things! how was your labor day?

needed to read this

“he’s not perfect. you aren’t either, & the two of you will never be perfect. but if he make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice & if he admits to being human & making mistakes, hold onto him & give him the most you can. he isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that knows you could break. don’t hurt him, don’t change him, & don’t expect more than he can give. don’t analyze. smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad & miss him when he’s not there. love hard when there is love to be had. because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” -bob
really needed to remember we aren't perfect but together we get closer than we ever will be alone to perfection.

you

god gave me you for the ups and downs.
god gave me you for the days of doubt.
for when I think I lost my way there are no words to say it's true.
god gave me you.
on my own i'm only half of what I could be. I can't do without you.


lover I love you!!!!!!!

independent

trust; [noun] to have confidence or reliance on somebody or something. or to confidently allow somebody to do something.
i guess I've always had a struggle trusting and relying on other people. i think it's just the way I was built. it's always made more sense to be independent and do everything myself. if something doesn't get done it's my fault. I don't have to redo something that someone else already did because it's been done wrong. sure sometimes it makes life more busy & stressful than it needs to be but i'm a big planner and checking things off make me feel accomplished.
being independent has never been a problem.
but now, now I see what a hinderance the inability to trust is. I think I've gotten better at trusting but I still can't let go completely, I try not to let people close enough to cause pain. there is one man though who I love enough that I let him in. sometimes it's total and complete reliability on him and other times it's 90%. but I can definitely see the lack of ability to trust on my part becoming an issue. so because I want to trust in him & everyone 100% I need your help.
how do I reverse my inability to trust those closest to me? or anyone for that matter?

sincerely
mrs no longer wants to be independent
