But I just can't seem to get over Jon & Kate + 8's Season Premier last night. I'm not a regular viewer of the show. I just watch it when I'm flipping through channels, so I'm not overly interested in the show, but last night's episode just broke my heart. As you have probably read in the tabloids, they are having some maritial trouble and last night's show dealt with it all very honestly. And it was heartbreaking to watch. To see their pain. I know, I know! It's a reality show, but it struck a chord.
My husband and I will be celebrating our 13th anniversary on June 22, so maybe I'm thinking more about marriage than usual. Watching Jon & Kate last night though, made me realize how very delicate marriage is. The tiniest crack can split open at anytime. After watching the show, my husband and I hugged each other a little longer this morning before starting our day. Thankful that we have made it this far. Knowing we shouldn't take our time together for granted.
P.S. I announced the winner of the drawing for my print on The Stone Soup Challenge blog. Hop over to see if you won!

I watched the show too last night and was so sad to see how bad things are between Jon and Kate. But I think it's better not to have that kind of anger and resentment around for the kids to see. Divorce is so hard and having 8 children ask "Where's Daddy?" will be heartbreaking. I only had 2asking that but I've been through that pain and wish my kids didn't have to experience it too. My hope is Jon and Kate can come together and be the best parents possible even if they no longer share the same house. The children are the most important concern here and I hope that they realize that and do what's best for the children.
I love you and you-know-who together. This is a very sweet and meaningful post. One of the things I admire about you (there are so many) is your capacity for expressing gratitude.
Relationships are hard, most are worth the work, but I know we all wish well to the couples who have the courage to face the pain when it is just not going to work.
i too follow or I guess not follow the show like you Katey. I have an older son and triplets. so half of what they got...but it is heart breaking to see a couple struggle. The lime light they got themselves into, well I hope that doesn't hinder them working this out. If they coulkd get back to what got them together in the first place and learn to trust maybe they could.I am no expert but it does saden me too to see. heres to prayers for them,the marriage and kids.
I agree!!! It does put so many things into perspective!!
