And I love it. I know that may not be the "right" words but I recently went through a huge depression and had the doubts, and questioned everything and my wedding isn't for another 6 months. But my friends mom whom I am very close with gave me a book that isn't the kind of book that you give to a girl who is newly engaged and so, so excited about everything "24/7" it is the kind of book you give to someone when their about to leave, move, quit - give up. I'm not done with the book yet BUT when I am I want to give it to another bride to be that is having a tough time and isn't afraid to say it - and of course to someone who really wants to read it. The book is called "The Conscious Bride" by Sheryl Paul and i checked amazon you can get a used one for 1 penny and pay $3.99 shipping so you can get it for $4 which is a good deal, great deal. And it is a great book that talks about everything. What you may be feeling, family situations growing up, current family and living situations, etc.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5481895067160374496/8420713643924385039/comments/default/7283605868103978578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5481895067160374496/8420713643924385039/comments/default/7283605868103978578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.dottheiwedding.com/2009/02/honest-life-challenges.html?showComment=1235577120000#c7283605868103978578' title=''/><author><name>E</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17719134878007025257</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07749802496791770316'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RzNUiOVDIBY/SZR8NjVU7dI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/vdjqG9-Fv9M/S220/l_838e77899fe2440894e378fd168bd8e1.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.dottheiwedding.com/2009/02/honest-life-challenges.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481895067160374496.post-8420713643924385039' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5481895067160374496/posts/default/8420713643924385039' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-654068402'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481895067160374496.post-7064279200561516441</id><published>2009-02-24T13:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-24T13:43:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>That is definitely one way to help yourself feel b...</title><content type='html'>That is definitely one way to help yourself feel better, get it out!!! That is what I have started to do with my blogging too. If there is a problem I usually clam up and don't want to talk to anyone about it but it is starting to get easier to put it out there in cyberland and get it out of my head. It makes letting go of the little things that can become big things easier. I really think though that it is great that you and your fiance are working through your rough patchs now. Lots of people go into marriages thinking everything is going to be like it was on the honeymoon only to find out its not, especially if they haven't lived together before. Figuring things out now will definitely help you solidify your marriage. The things you learn now will help you deal with all the bumps in the road later on...just wait til you add kids to the mix! If you ever need anything let me know, I'm not exactly an old pro but I'm certainly not a newlywed either. Good luck and relax!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5481895067160374496/8420713643924385039/comments/default/7064279200561516441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5481895067160374496/8420713643924385039/comments/default/7064279200561516441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.dottheiwedding.com/2009/02/honest-life-challenges.html?showComment=1235500980000#c7064279200561516441' title=''/><author><name>TwinsanityMom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10378929512535446292</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07399901462203431062'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lT10d3OuTNc/SYiOVFunsyI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Q4pEJ7W55xs/S220/0059.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.dottheiwedding.com/2009/02/honest-life-challenges.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481895067160374496.post-8420713643924385039' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5481895067160374496/posts/default/8420713643924385039' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1747335753'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5481895067160374496.post-8795573775946163134</id><published>2009-02-24T12:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-24T12:28:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Great post!
