That look

Since Josh and I have been married I have found it incredibly difficult to be upset or frustrated with him. Now this does not mean that I have not been upset or frustrated, it simply means that he is cursed with this adorable face that I cannot help but smile at!

Do you know how frustrating it is to be having a disagreement about something and trying desperately to explain your side, only to have your seriousness diminish because of a smile??

I don’t know what it is, that man has this face that just puts a smile on mine. It’s an awesome quality to have, but when I want to prove a point, it just increases the difficulty.

For instance, last night I was being kind of moody and feeling neglected because our schedules have been off for the last few days. Josh wasn’t understanding why I was feeling that way, so we both got annoyed pretty quick. In an attempt to not have to look at him and lose my position in this disagreement I left the room. Now, I did not take the simple and most obvious way out, I walked out of the family room, into the kitchen, around the closet and into our room. By doing this I was able to avoid all eye contact.

Isn’t that silly?

I know there are people out there who have years of marriage experience on us who think this post is ridiculous and would probably say, “Give it a few years, it won’t be cute forever.” But I think it’s a cool part of our relationship. Something as simple as me looking at him is able to knock down the walls of frustration and anger. He makes me smile, and at the end of the day I would rather be smiling that proving myself to be correct in an argument.

I hope this quality never fades.
