Skating through Life

Valentines day for me was a day I wan not exactly looking forward too.. Not b/c it's Valentines day but because I knew that I had to spend 12 hours in the theatre for our 1st tech day; which never goes so smoothly! But I woke up to a wonderful breakfast cooked by my wonderful Fiance.  He made me Egg in the heart which is one of his mom's famous breakfast items that he loves to cook.  He always made me YUMMY YUMMY heart shaped toast.  Then the 12 hours in the theatre wasn't so bad and we actually ENDED early... so that I was actually only there 10.5 hours so we had enough time to make it to couples night at the ice skating rink.  While we were there I had a lot of thoughts about our relationship and life together.  

As we were Ice Skating as anyone who has ice skated before knows your skates carve the way in ice to move forward but of course as each person moves forward there are many many paths and each path created by another person can make it more and more difficult for you to move forward on your own path and i thought.. this is so much like life.. there are many many people who have moved forward through life before us and they carved out their own path and as you watched them go through you are often challenged in figuring out how to make your own path.. ... But I also realized that as Zach and I carve a way through life and try to stick together there will be lots of obstacles that will will have to avoid and deal with.  We also will have to learn when to hold each other back and when to let go and let one another try new things(Zach was learning to ice skate backwards while i can barely go forward) and move ourselves forward.  And when one of us falls ( Like i did while skating) know that the other will be there to help them get back to their feet! And just learning to trust each others judgments, learn each others goals and help each other achieve personal and family goals will help make our relationship more successful and our personal growth will make one another happier!
