We have to turn down some things in order to make time for each other, especially if it’s the one day/night in a week or two that we both have off from work together ⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Throw guilt out the window. Feeling guilty for not having more time or not doing enough can cause issues within your relationship ⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ Scheduling time is good... but being regimented within that time is not so good.

It’s not easy being a healthcare provider, let alone being married to one, or both! ⁣
I know a lot of you out there struggle with finding time for your family, and yourselves, because you’re selflessly caring for others during weekends, birthdays, holidays, etc. ⁣
⁣
4 things that Chris and I have become really good at, to ensure we are connecting with each other: ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Always have a date or trip on the schedule, something to look forward to ⁣
⁣
2️⃣ Say no. We have to turn down some things in order to make time for each other, especially if it’s the one day/night in a week or two that we both have off from work together ⁣
⁣
3️⃣ Throw guilt out the window. Feeling guilty for not having more time or not doing enough can cause issues within your relationship ⁣

4️⃣ Scheduling time is good... but being regimented within that time is not so good. Be spontaneous within your scheduled time and if you end up doing something unplanned and it lasts longer than you thought, great! ⁣

The funny thing is that what you see on here, is exactly what you get in real life. He’s an insanely passionate guy who dreams of a whimsical, Disney type of love that lasts forever. He would do anything for the people that he loves, even if it’s an inconvenience to him, and with a smile. He truly wants to change lives daily and leave behind a legacy that makes other people proud. Basically, I’m super freaking lucky and I have no idea why he was single when I met him 😂 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Having Chris in my life has inspired me in ways I never thought could happen, and it makes me want to inspire others to keep looking for their greatest love and soulmate, because once you feel this kind of love, you’ll be thankful you waited for it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And thanks C, for always letting me have the first and last bite when I’m hangry (swipe to last photo). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #1YearDown50MoreToGo

Instagram post 2187197805284728426_2331335692 The holidays are all about friends, family, and the things nearest and dearest to your heart ❤️⁣ ⁣ So thankful for the ability to travel home this year. ⁣ Makes my heart so warm to see my friends from high school all grown and with little ones of their own carrying on new traditions. ⁣ ⁣ One tradition that always stayed strong however... was our Thanksgiving Eve at the Majestic Bar (aka my parents basement). This year- new location, but same cheer moves. May have punched the ceiling that seemed a lot higher before I got up there, sorry D! ⁣ ⁣ Off to the football game and then to devour mom’s home cooking. Life could not be any better! ⁣ ⁣ Happy Thanksgiving friends! 🦃

Instagram post 2186458424466868613_2331335692 I’m dreaming of a white Christmas ❄️⁣ ⁣ Guess we’ll just stand on this patch for the next month, because clearly it’s the closest we’re going to get where we live!⁣ ⁣ My California boy hoped for snow during this Michigan trip. Instead it’s been sunny and brisk, but totally tolerable! I think Chris was imagining building a snowman and frolicking around with his snow boots on. I kid you not, he makes special room in his suitcase for his rain or snow boots if he thinks the weather will require them. It’s a THING. ⁣ ⁣ He literally just turned to me and said excitedly “it’s going to be dumping rain in OC next week”! Somehow can sense this based off of the weather app that just has emojis with drops of rain... but it’s going to be “dumping”! 😂⁣ ⁣ So what do you prefer? ⁣ White Christmas or Warm and sunny?

Instagram post 2182830780768769592_2331335692 Question: What is better than a ridiculously comfy, cozy sweater to get your lounge on in? ⁣ ⁣ Answer: Absolutely nothing. ⁣ ⁣ I will use any excuse just to post up in my new home all day and enjoy the relaxing vibes now that we’re all moved in. ⁣ ⁣ The cooler weather has finally hit, and I am here for it! Loving this oversized sweatshirt from @caliabycarrie that is SO SOFT, with a pop of color down below. Comfortable, yet put together. Ya know... in case I need to run to the hardware store or something. Homeowner life 👌🏼⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #StayThePath #CALIAbyCarrie #sponsored
