When Sorry Isn't Enough

March 17, 2013/ treanab

Any thoughts on this book yet, book, spiritual, relationship folks? When Sorry Isn't Enough by Gary Chapman.

I am in the middle of this right now with birth mother. Sometimes it really isn't enough to just say sorry... I wonder how this deals with the idea of free choice in relationships and the idea of giving your partner the benefit of the doubt.

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

All. The. Babies. (And me trying make myself shorter awkwardly. Typical). #babyparade @sammikitch @lwbranz @mrs_ashleyf

This group. These humans. These mommas. These friends. We’ve been at life together for upwards of ten years and we’re still banging into each other just trying to figure it all out. I love them. I love us. I love the sisterhood. The tribe. @sammikitch @lwbranz @mrs_ashleyf #momfriends #youbitches

My very strong, smart, resilient, adaptable, champ of a Coloradan. She amazes me everyday with how she processes change and information. I’m so proud of her. #youdownwithlmb #coloradogirl

We have gizmo the gorilla the week we are moving... what could go wrong?!? #youdownwithlmb

Sitting here today to sell my house. I thought I’d feel some nostalgia. Some sadness about the end of our stay at what we thought was our dream house. I feel pure relief. Joy. Excitement. Steadiness. This behemoth of a house became such a burden and shifting it to someone who may better be able to manage it, is a relief. I’m ready to go to the pool with my husband and daughter, drink some wine, and pack like mad. I’m ready to close this chapter and move on to our future with a new business and my little family having learned a very hard but great lesson: that voice is always the universe whispering to you that it’s not right and, if you’re lucky like me, you get a chance to make it right again. Onwards. Next. Forward. #housesale #byeparker #wewillmissthehelloutofourneighbors

Hugo loves Lyla. And Lyla loves almond milk yogurt parading around like ice cream. What a glorious reconnecting and play date. @cthomasco #youdownwithlmb #lmbandhugo

$Our family beach vacation ... to Nebraska!!!! Was freaking awesome. Will be making this an annual trip ... if not twice in the summer. At only 3 hours drive, it’s the fracking best. #ilovelakemac #ogallala #anniversarytrip #youdownwithlmb$

When I met and started dating @robrich23 ten years ago, I legitimately never dreamed that we would be living the life that we are now. I had been in Phoenix for three months and was just starting the hardest job I’ve ever had: teaching fifth grade. LB had Walter and really had no interest in dating. Although it didn’t seem like a slow build to others, for us, it has always been a cautious creeping towards where we are now. These ten years have been hard fought, hilariously fun, grief filled, joy filled and mostly, healing. It’s not a situation where his love has healed me or fixed me (that sentiment strikes me as grossly patriarchal)- rather, we are healing each other through the hard work of marriage and true relationship and well, therapy. And my Lord, we’re still working at it everyday. I still choose him and our life and as our friend Chris said when he married us, “Love... is a choice. Always.” Thanks for choosing our family LB. I love you. #tenyears #anniversary 📷: @preston_utley

Little musician gal is music obsessed. I now feel about @blueoctoberband @mumfordandsons and #girlslikeyou how other parents feel about frozen. It’s too much!
