Sometimes when I open the refrigerator to get butter, I find the butter like this:

Sometimes…
Jay will come home to find a cup or a bowl upside down and it means there’s a bug in there that I’ve trapped. And I wait patiently for him to come home and get rid of it for me. I detest any crawling things and am too big of a chicken to kill any of them. Even ants. So yesterday as I waited for him to come home and everytime I passed by the trapped spider, I would wince and walk speedily by it while at the same time making sure it was still in there and didn’t run away.
It all happened when one day I watched on the Discovery channel about ants and they would magnify them like 100x and as the ant’s huge black eyes starred right into mine with its nasty hair all over his body, I’ve been traumatized ever since. And imagining their guts squishing just makes me want to hurl because I pity them and feel bad for them at the same time.
I don’t know what I will do when he ever goes away for a long time and I find bugs. I think I’ll trap it anyway and wait ’till him or my friends come over to kill it for me. YUCK.

Hey, I know this is super random. I was filling out my bar application and I had to put a co-worker's name down for all of the jobs I've worked in the last 10 years, so I put Jay down as a co-worker. I don't imagine he'll get a call or anything about it, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know.

Sometimes more often than not…. it is easier to wish Jay did things differently than he did whenever I get annoyed/bothered/hurt by him.
Sometimes…. it is easier to just get offended and hurt and put a defense mechanism and act cold.
Sometimes…. it is easier to think of all the things I wished my spouse would do/wouldn’t do/do more of/do less of, instead of thinking of all the things I could do/wouldn’t do/should do/shouldn’t do.
Sometimes…. it is easier to pick out at all the little things I don’t like about him instead of focusing on all the big/small and in between things I absolutely ADORE and LOVE about him.
I was Mr(s). Grinch for a day a few days ago. I threw me, myself & I a pity party and had a bawl. Then we talked it out and I felt better and realized it wasn’t even a big deal after all. Then I went to church yesterday and the teacher quoted a scripture which I don’t even remember what or from where but it had the word “charity” in it. Then another scripture came to my mind that says, “Charity never faileth.” It can be found in Moroni and Corinthians for the Book of Mormon and the Bible complement each other. And tears welled up my eyes. Charity never fails. You can’t have charity and lose. Then I thought, “I bet Jesus could marry anybody and be perfectly happy.” Because with his perfect charity and perfect selflessness he’s too busy thinking, “What can I do to make her happy? What can I do more for her? What do I need to change in myself to make her more happy with me?” than to pick and point at all the things he doesn’t like about the other person and wished she would change. Then I realized I need to change myself instead of trying to change him. I get irritated and bothered because I am not perfect. And I need to work on myself to become the bigger person and not react to situations but to act upon it. I choose my happiness. No one can control how I react to things except for myself.
One professor from BYU once said in one of my classes, “If your spouse smacks while eating cereal every morning, and it bugs you and you can’t stand it, pray that you’ll have more patience and charity for your spouse so that the smacking won’t bother you anymore.”
I believe if one always focuses on his/her own happiness and focuses on what the other person could do to make them happy, you will never ever be truly happy because there will always be more that other person could do! It’s like money, if you focus your happiness on money, there will always be something else you want to buy after your previous purchase. So if you focus on the other person’s happiness instead of your own, your spouse will be happier, you’ll be happier, everybody will be happier. And that is our ultimate goal anyway right? It’s a win-win situation!
So that was my epiphany for the day. It’s something you’ve always known but it’s hard to remember it at times. It’s something I’m striving to be better at and I still have a lot to go. But there’s a Korean saying, “Starting is already half way.” π I hope everybody has a Merry Merry Christmas.

You couldn't have been talking about Jay, because I KNOW he's perfect already. And your BYU professor was wrong, smacking is not forgivable.
