I envy my husband.

They say you marry your opposite. While Chris and I have a lot in common, which brought us together, we balance each other out very well with the qualities that we don't have in common.

I envy the fact that he doesn't hold grudges. Ever. For anyone or anything. I on the other hand hold grudges for days, weeks, months. I don't forget. He just lets it go. Just like that.

I envy how he always apologizes first. Maybe it's because of the whole grudge thing, but I can rarely muster up enough maturity to just apologize first if we're in a disagreement or tiff. He's always the first to come sit by me and start us back off on the right track.

I envy how he can just go with the flow and be spontaneous. I can, too, sometimes. Usually, I like to have a plan that's been set ahead of time and don't do well when something alters that plan.


On that last note, however, my organization and planning ahead makes for a household and calendar that runs extra smoothly.


But, I have no excuses for the first two things. I'm just glad one of us is a tad less stubborn than the other.
