Changes

I think I shouldn't be surprised anymore but I think there is a common perception that in our marriage, I'm the one who's more dominating and demanding and that my husband has to adjust and change to suit my preferences.....

Last night, a friend half chided me and commented that I shouldn't be asking my husband to change so much...I think she was referring mostly to his appearance... hair style, clothes etc... the thing is, I think the Keeper doesn't really care...What I mean is, he doesn't really fuss about superficial stuff like that.. ;P He's pretty easy going when it comes to clothes and fashion and trusts in my taste (He should ..I married him afterall!! And tell him regularly how handsome I find him!)...and most times, when I ask him about his preferences (yes, I do ask..),  he'd reply, smiling, "whatever my wife likes."

The same friend then commented that I should allow my husband to change me...and this set me thinking...

yeah, my husband does change me too...dressing wise, I now chose more modest items 'cos that's his preference... and he's also caused changes where it matters the most...

His love in my life has resulted in a lot of healing....in areas where I previously thought I was unlovely and "unacceptable".... he's modeled for me grace and forgiveness and shown me what it looks like to be truly generous and sacrificial.....so, yeah, the changes do work both ways...and I do believe he's changed me more than I've changed him and I thank God for him every single day. ;)

Biggest change since not working...

Now the main question I ask myself when dressing to go out:

"Can I wear this with birkies?"

(90% of my wardrobe is office wear...so mostly "no....")

In other news, I think I am truly mentally prepared for migration...

A dear friend asks me where I would like to go for dinner..ie: "foods you think you might miss" and I'm hard pressed to think of any and choose instead a place which I have already gone to twice and experience very little excitement..(so shocking! Even to myself! Not excited about food?!! Yes, I think I have already tasted everything I wanna taste in Singapore and have a roughly good idea on how to replicate those items...)

Not sure too if this is a sign, that without really trying, the war on gluttony has finally been won....
