the 6th



Tomorrow is 9/30.
It marks my 6th wedding anniversary.  
I never thought marriage was hard.
Frustrating at times.
And life is hard sometimes.
But marriage no.
Until this year. 
I have decided it is hard. 
And combined with life being hard sometimes, and marriage being hard sometimes, 
things can be downright frustrating.
wait, 
HARD + HARD = REALLY HARD


But throw in the great things about life and it looks something like this:

HARD + HARD/GREAT THINGS= FRUSTRATING


That looks more like it. 


So, to commemorate the day that I married a kid I had known in entirety for 9 months, who made me smile and was cute in a quirky little way, and made sense in my heart and not much on paper, 


we are going to Disneyland.


Because we have passes, 
and that equals free, 
except for the babysitter, 
because kids are staying at home.


In the midst of feeling frustrated, I thought roller coasters would be good for me/us. 
Not the kids rides we always go on, 
but the real deal.
So we can feel like kids again.
Maybe lighten the load a bit while we are plummeting to the ground on tower of terror.
(Nate informed me today he has NEVER been on that ride.  You think you know a guy...)

OK, so if HARD + HARD/GREAT THINGS = Frustrating, then as GREAT THINGS increases, Frustrating will approach zero. However, Hard + Hard will also increase, albeit at a variable rate. If Hard + Hard did not increase, and Frustrating approached zero, then there would be no GROWTH. The trick therefore, is to MAXIMIZE GREAT THINGS, so that Frustrating will be < 1.
