Welcome January!!

I have noticed since having McCoy, our lives have revolved around him. This sounds like the typical American family life, but it is not how I want my life to be represented-- by the children I have. I want my life to be revolved around more than that. I want my life to be defined by all the people I love-- most importantly and foremost, my husband. I want January to be devoted to becoming a better wife. This means, spending more time with just him, listening better to him, becoming intimate with him more, kissing him more often and telling him I love him more. My world needs to be about him first, and then celebrating the beautiful baby boy we made together. This might seem a little bit like a bad mother, but I feel that my marriage is the most important thing, and the babies are an extension of that. Believe me I LOVE my son, and I will do anything for him! But I also LOVE my husband and will do anything for him as well! I already show that I love McCoy on a daily basis, I don't want to leave Whit out of that either. I want our lives to be happy and McCoy will learn how important marriages are in life. So welcome, January. You will see me become a better wife.
