Money and Marriage.

"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine, too!" 

Seriously LOLing at this picture because there are seriously so many truths behind it. I can honestly say that I am purely guilty of this, and I never hear the end of it from my husband. Hey, I'm just a stay at home momma. OF COURSE I'm going to ask for millions of things! All I do is watch info-mercials  half the time. Lol.

Unfortunately, since the birth of our precious little son, my husband has been smarter with his paychecks, and has become Pro at taking me on guilt trips. Everything we buy, all the money we use, strictly goes to our son and all MY bills. (Yes, I started having bills right out of high school.) The only time I've ever seen any of that, is when my husband wants to go eat. OTHER THAN THAT, I sit hopelessly in my little corner crying over the fact that I couldn't get an ipod.

BUT, although I make it seem like my life has totally ended, which for the most part, it has! lol, I couldn't be more grateful at the fact of the matter that my husband has shown me how much I contribute to greed. I guess all women have that weakness. I mean, my mom's advice to my sisters and I when we were little was, "If you're unsure, just get it, before you walk out of the store and regret it." Sounded fair, until my dad's advice about money was, "Don't listen to any of your mom's advice."

I guess my dad was right all along. He's right about EVERYTHING! UGHHHHHH! Lol, okay over it. He gave us that advice, and still let my mom loose with the credit card, lol. Anyway, if I needed to be taught something from my husband, this would have to be the biggest learning skill that I needed. He leads by example, and constantly by never letting me hold his wallet. Lol, Makes me realize what I have to do on my part to be able to gain his trust when it comes to money.

So, when thinking of the terms OURS, I have to think as in Travis, Baby Fa'amoana, and me! That will be something I won't ever master! lol.

and that's our keeping up with the Peni's! haha.
