Something small but great . . .

A day in the story of the life of my little family we jumped a hurdle yesterday. I guess I should honestly give all the credit to Tony cause it was his hurdle. Being the old one by six years in a marriage is at times overwhelming. (I am 26 my husband is 20.) There are a lot of things is life that are still very new to him. For example something as small as opening a checking account. I try to encourage a.k.a. nag him about trying to go do some of the adult duties we have without me and just ask questions. He is a bright boy, charming and adorable, I explained women will be more than happy to help you if you ask. So yesterday he did it, he marched into Bank of America and opened our checking account. We have been trying to build his credit but have been turned down repeatedly. He found out that it seems there is an issue from and old account he had from his mom's bank account that is in collections and has really affected his credit. So the good news is that is we at least know what the issue was in getting him credit. He called after he was done said he was taking the cashiers check to the apartment for rent and the account was open I just had to go in a a sign for my side later.

Last night I drove to the bank to withdraw cash, and this silly little feeling of pride and excitment came over me. I know a checking account what is so exciting?? Well I have learned when you marry someone a few years younger than you, there are times where you feel more like the parent then partner. I was just so proud of him, without being told he took it upon himself to open the account ALONE. Steps like this remind me that he was there and aware of what the commitment he made to me was all about. Being a husband in my book means you protect and care for a family. You make moves to help your family grow. Something as small as the bank account reminded me I was not alone it sharing the commitment of our marriage vows. So in closing yeah for the hubby let see what he does next time to top himself. Make every day a great day.
