You know what’s frustrating? When you’ve finally made a hefty decision–we’re talking a life-changer here– with all consequences deliberated carefully and all options weighed thoughtfully, and are ready to move on with the next steps of said decision…when suddenly a new option is introduced, calling into question all your careful deliberation and plotting-out. It’s torture. And you have one of those throw-it-all-out-the-window moments and want to avoid being a responsible adult entirely. (Pardon the vagueness, but this is how it’s gotta be.) That’s my day in a nutshell. Happy Monday.
In other, entirely less troubling news, I love my husband. And I love when he has weekends off, because we do so many fabulous and ridiculous things when we have days to spend together–like surprise my mom with a visit the day after her birthday, buy lots of stuff we don’t really need–but might someday!–at a salvage mart, eat all kinds of ice cream, shred T-shirts for stuffing pillows, dramatically de-clutter our carport, start trying to buy a house, bake sweet potato fries, lie around listening to the rain, and just generally be awesome and adorable. I love him and I love our life together and I wish every couple in the world could be as happy as we are.

Making decisions in general is tough for me…like where/what to eat for my next meal. I can’t lie. But the kind of hefty decision you speak of is one of the hardest things to deal with. I know how it is. I hope everything works out for the better.
On the upside: wow, your husband. I LOVE that you guys do random things. Random events in a relationship is SO important because that is when you have the most fun, I feel.
Love it.
(PostScript): I love “Avenue Handmade”. I love how you thought of it. I recently read your story in your profile. SO perfect.

Thanks for the encouragement! I know everything will work out, but I’m the queen of second-guessing myself, so sometimes I get freaked out. Today I’m feeling much more confident about this matter.
Glad you like the name/story! It’s funny to me that that nickname wasn’t even given to me until just a few years ago, and already it seems like almost a part of my identity. The power of naming, I guess.

I know what you mean about the decisions, I feel the same way when it comes to hard decisions!
