Fighting Well

We had been married for a little over two years and were on our way home from a friend's wedding. We had a great time and danced the night away with old friends before getting in the car to head home. One minute we were talking about the night and the next we were in a blow up fight.

But now I LOVE Monday mornings. It feels like a breath of fresh air. A chance to start the week off right. It is also our most consistent family time and that is what makes it a favorite in my book.
