I think as we grow older we get less self-centered, but don't let go about writing about your own experience! It's not an easy thing to do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1083867665153074322008-01-28T14:08:00.000-08:002008-01-28T14:08:00.000-08:00This? Was awesome.

At the same time we have grown together like never before.<BR/><BR/>I love your blog, so relatable!Marcehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10859176231352444500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-72201515309153464742008-01-25T09:53:00.000-08:002008-01-25T09:53:00.000-08:00Congratulations you crazy kids.<BR/><BR/>*smooches*<BR/><BR/>Let me know when you come to Boston.Miguelina.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16856569036092643446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-67211561243252126472008-01-24T21:30:00.000-08:002008-01-24T21:30:00.000-08:00"No one has held up a mirror to my flaws quite like my husband has and living with that reflection can make things tumultuous"<BR/><BR/>This is the very definition of the soul mate. People always mistake the soul mate as the one who brings all the love and cookies. In actuality, the soul mate mirrors the truth about oneself. <BR/><BR/>It is the most painful and the most rewarding experience of one's life.<BR/><BR/>I think you're lucky to have found each other.

I have stopped reading all other "mommy" blogs now that my son is 27 months and just don't have the time (and they kinda bore me) but I can't not check GGC daily. It is because of posts like these that are so raw, you put yourself so out there and make us all reflect on our own lifes. I can not wait to read your book and for you to come to Vancouver so that I can meet you.<BR/><BR/>Happy AnniversaryCandicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14339039108269581574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-5881945452504376462008-01-23T10:38:00.000-08:002008-01-23T10:38:00.000-08:00happy anniversary! <BR/><BR/>We'll have four years in May and sometimes I too am amazed that we've made it. It is definitely hard. I can't imagine throwing a child in to that first year as well. <BR/><BR/>We are still knee deep in that "adjustment" period after having a baby and sometimes I question our resolve. But then, there will be moments here and there that will remind me that there is more to us than the bitching and moaning and lack of sleep and I know this too shall pass.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding me that it's work and you can come out the other side even better.ImpostorMomhttp://impostormom.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-34456874231778027602008-01-23T09:18:00.000-08:002008-01-23T09:18:00.000-08:00Thank you Rebecca.

Every little problem or disagreement in your relationship can seem magnified, because it causes you to ask, every time, "Did I make the right choice? Did I have enough time and space to think this through? If circumstances had been different, could I have chosen someone else, someone more compatible?"<BR/><BR/>Self-fulfilling prophecy. Self-sabotage. But you both have overcome it. Happy Anniversary, indeed.Jaelithehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12081888212421953409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-2236779565237126822008-01-22T23:12:00.000-08:002008-01-22T23:12:00.000-08:00I think the best love stories are created out of hard work, not magic.

I didn't even realize we were "engaged", so maybe it'll be a few years of marriage for us before Simon pops the question to me as well. ;) I'm not knocked up, but it'd be sweet if I was. We've been together for 5 years (I think I'm just a couple years younger than you), so it's about time we pretended to be adults (HA!)<BR/><BR/>Did you hear about Juno & the Oscar nominations!? I was giddy today when I heard about it. Diablo Cody has definitely earned a nomination, if not a stack of the little gold dudes. Candy Girl was an awesome read, and I adored Juno. Plus Ellen Page freaking rocked (did you see Hard Candy?)... and I'm proud that she hails from my good ol' Canada! Gotta get us frigid northerners more up in the movie biz!<BR/><BR/>But I digress... Cheers to you both and your happy beginning/middle/ending. I hope that I have as many interesting stories to tell after 3 years of marriage.Alinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-47400398555194346792008-01-22T16:43:00.000-08:002008-01-22T16:43:00.000-08:00I love your honesty, your real life happy ending that defies the ones in fairy tales. <BR/><BR/>Happy 'versary you two crazy kids.

Last night, we forwent (is that a word?) sleep to hammer it all out so that we both felt understood. What a hard slog and we were so tired. <BR/><BR/>Today is a new day and even if it's still gloomy in LA, it feels just a little bit brighter.clueless but hopeful mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11011524864788495788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-6444080803636592272008-01-22T13:45:00.000-08:002008-01-22T13:45:00.000-08:00That really was beuatiful, and as a newleywed, what I needed to hear. That marraige isn't perfec,that is is tough, that there will be struggles, but that there's nothing better than looking into the other's eyes, and saying "God, I SOOO love you!!".
