Why My Husband Made Me Cry

This is my 2nd year participating in the March Marriage Challenge with co-hosts  Melissa from The Eyes Of A Boy and Carrie from Our Potluck Family.

Last year I interviewed my husband to see if we were on the same page after 18 years of marriage. This is what I wrote, “A Marriage Interview Then and Now“.

This year was really just about APPRECIATION for your spouse.

It all started when ……I recently attended the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration Land and Sea Conference in Orlando. It was an exciting thing to be invited to. However, the stress of preparing my family and myself for a conference that I had never been to was extremely high.  If you didn’t know, I’m the Scheduler, the Packer, the All-Knowing of each person of my family’s likes and dislikes.

When we go on a road trip, my husband does the driving to the destination. This is so I can be Ursula from The Little Mermaid. With my tentacles reaching to the back seat, I hand little Ariels snacks, movies, and headphones as I hum “poor unfortunate soul” to myself. When we get to our destination, I usually unpack, get us settled and possibly curse under my breathe.

Not crying yet?

When we arrived at this conference, I realized there was no time for that. I had an immediate appointment with one of the brands, so I was off. My husband decided to take the kids to unload the car. After, they went to a Disney park before dinner. This went on for most of the Land part of the conference.

The real stress started after we arrived on the Disney Wonder Cruise ship.  This was unfamiliar territory for my entire family. We had not had as much time to prepare and know about the ship as we had wanted between the flu season and homework. (Or at least that’s the way I felt).

I left my family immediately arriving on the ship heading to a delicious lunch. The room was filled with amazing influencers and moms. We were chatting up, exchanging ideas, and bonding about motherhood while sipping champagne. I was having a fabulous time listening to all of the Disney Scoop yet still wondering if my family was okay.

Why am I so worried? He’ll have to figure it out. 

Here’s the dilly-o on my husband!
