Call of Duty, Hunger Games, Josh Scogin, & Ron Weasley

I have only been a wife for a little over 6 months so I'm still learning the ropes, but I feel I'm doing a good job.  Matt and I have been dating since 2007 so we have been together what seems like forever, so being married is pretty much the same as dating only now we live together, and as my best friend Arica says "being married is like having a sleepover with your best friend every night." And that is exactly what it is like.  Matt and I have so much fun together it seems unreal.  I think all too often people think to have fun you have to DO something, but I disagree. 

Matt is a HUGE gamer and I am a HUGE reader, and many nights I sit in the man cave with him while he plays his games and I read, if something exciting happens in my book that I want to share, he pauses the game and I tell him what just happened.  He most likley couldn't care less, but remember we are actors so he makes it seem like he does. And visa versa, when he screams "WOAH!!!!" I act like I'm really concerned with what just happen and I stop reading and listen.  Even if it is something we don't care too much for if our spouse does, we listen.  When I was sooooo nervous about to tears because I knew if Peeta AND Katniss didn't win the Hunger Games my life would end, Matt acted just as concerned and he didn't even know what the book was about.  

Matt's biggest hero is a guy named Josh Scogin, he is the lead "singer" of Matt's favorite band, The Chariot.  One day while we were driving to Matt's parents house (about 20-25 minutes away) I got a  lesson on why Josh Scogin was the greatest person to ever walk this earth (other than Jesus of course.)  I really am not a huge fan of the Chariot, but I sure pretended like I cared, because he cared, my soul mate, the only man I have ever loved more than my dad or brother cared, so I cared.  And Matt "cares" and Ron Weasley, because I care, the woman he vowed to love FOREVER.    

We all want to share our lives with the people we love and too many people are too selfish to shut up and listen, so I challenge you to shut up and listen, put on a smile, and ask questions!

Until next time...Ephesians 5:22-23
