My big news is that my husband has made the decision to stay home instead of taking the job offer overseas!! I am so excited 
Through the weeks while we were trying to get him ready for his journey, we never had time to sit and talk about “things”. The day before he was supposed to leave, he came home and asked me what I thought about him leaving. Woah! I thought, because I had always told him I supported his decision and never expected to be asked how I truly felt. Through talking, we actually learned alot over the past few weeks. We learned to think about the things that are truly important to us, like being together spiritually, mentally, physically. We learned how important it was to communicate about big decisions that affect not just the two of us, but our family as a whole. And selfishly we learned how important it is for the both of us to have each other around. We both got some good advice from friends, for him it was questions about his decision that made him think, and for me it was the advice of making sure he knew exactly how I felt if he were to leave to prevent resentment later if he did leave. (Thank you for the advice)
If there’s one thing I can stress to those of you reading this, it’s to make sure that in any relationship you have, you make your feeling known. I really belive that communication is key in relationships. Whether it’s advice you’re giving (whether asked for or not) I bet the receiver will ponder on it when you’re gone, expressing your feelings to loved ones or friends, or speaking your mind on a topic you feel strongly about. Open communication can open channels for better relationships. Well enough rambling, hopefully this blog helps someone. See you next time.
