Never Wanna Grow Up

“Growing old is unavoidable, but never growing up is possible." - Johnny Depp

My husband Nic always calls me his little girl and says that I will always be his little girl. I find this as one of my greatest achievements in our relationship. I love that he calls me this because sometimes as adults we forget that it's OK to play! It's OK to be vulnerable, and to dream, and to laugh until you cry, and it's OK to not assume the worst of others! 

The Savior himself said to " becometh as a ^jchild, ^ksubmissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." - Mosiah 3:19

Now in no way am I perfect at this. I still let greed, stress, and weakness overcome me sometimes, but I love that one of my qualities is being a little bit childlike. For one it always keeps mine and Nic's relationship in a happy place! We love to chase each other around the house, dance around the kitchen, and do things that we haven't done since we were kids. Because sometimes... you just need to be a kid again! Sometimes a relationship just needs a little bit (or a lot) of fun!

This weekend was great! To live up to our childlike selves Nic and I decided to build a fort in our living room! 

It was soo fun cause we both had different techniques of how to build a fort and we discovered that by combining some of those techniques we had a pretty rockin' hut!! That's kind of how a marriage is. Two people are raised in different homes and in different ways, then you have to come together and see what you can combine for your very own perfect marriage! 

Now Nic and I could have made this a bad experience fighting over which way the fort should be built. It's exactly the same in a marriage. You can nag and fight just because you want your way, when in actuality you might be missing a more productive way to have a successful marriage! 

Sorry to go off on that tangent, but after all it is Sunday, and we are all trying to improve right? Especially me!

So yes! Building our fort was a blast! Here are some more pictures!

Nic in front of the fort! (Don't worry... you'll hardly see him smile in photos... He's not always as excited to make a Kodak moment as I am)

Me in front of the fort! (See I love the camera WAY more than Nic does!) 

Us getting ready to watch "Warrior" in our fort! (Good movie!)

I'm so thankful for my amazing husband and for loving me for my crazy, childlike self! The whole time we were engaged I asked him if he knew what he was getting himself into, and for some reason he still decided to go through with it! I'm so glad he did! 

Thank you so much to our friends and family for supporting us! 

Love,

The Bibeaus!

P.S. Nic has been singing to me this entire time... our new motto should be "Weird Name, Weird Family"
 and again I apologize for making this one of those "life lesson" posts!
