An actual planned sparring/grappling match with hubby.

He tapped me out four times, which I’m still salty over.

Got a good sweat going, lasted for about an hour.

My wife and I no longer participate in rec sports together or compete against one another, both of us are extremely competitive and the salt levels when either of us loses is something to rival the Dead Sea hahaha I feel this sentence in my soul

If I get mad at my husband he just calmly says: “well you’re the one who wanted to do this”.

Sort of.

I typically suggest stuff, so when I don’t get my way my husband just bluntly reasons with me until we laugh it off.

We don’t really give each other too much trouble concerning anything.

I used to be quite rough around the edges, and my husband was very closed in a shell, but after five years we’ve become each other best and only friends, so usually with anything it’s not that serious.

But I feel you all the way lol.

Yeah, we’ve been married for a touch over 1 year, together for a bit over 3 haha so we are still getting it all figured out /whine/ Why didn’t anyone tell me that marriage is tought? /end whine/ haha

My pastor always says it best:

Marriage is just two imperfect people trying to work it out.

And that’s very true.

My mom threw a box fan at my brother once. And she threw a hammer at me one time I kept messing with her, after a roast session.

And once her and my dad were having race across the fields at my brothers high school, and she lost, so she pushed him into a sticker bush.

I’ll take a chess piece being thrown at me any day over a full fledged hammer.

I think my mom secretly just wants to watch the world burn.

Back from…a deload of sorts.

Of course for my whole self to recover, but even more so than that, this was a deload for myself. For my mind, emotions, and spirit.

There were quite a few things I had to stare down within myself because this process is a life long one.

Instead of looking towards the weight room to be the answer for everything I had to remember exactly where I came from. As a Believer I realized most of what I think matters, doesn’t. And it doesn’t warrant me stressing myself out and condemning myself, or guilt tripping myself, or scrutinizing others.

And In doing so I saw all doors open in what seemed like a simultaneous instant. From my school, to my understanding of my studies concerning Theology, from my marriage, to my family, and my weight training.

Today’s training was filled with nothing but enjoyment. Instead of constant frustration. I’m glad I haven’t lost sight of some important principles, because now I know how easy it is to get to that point.
